Essays/LORs/Other
I have good LORs from my favourite teacher. I could even get one from my principal as he is supportive of me.
(Optionally, guess how strong these are and include any other relevant information or circumstances.)

Cost Constraints / Budget
Just broke, as most students from India. Need full aid preferably. Max I can pay is like $8k to 10k

Interested in attending Ivy leagues (I know this might be impossible but what are my chances?)
Please recommend good schools which I can realistically expect to get into from India, Thanks :slight_smile:

You never know about the Ivy league. Chances are somewhat random, but I would give it a try. Your profile is a lot like most other desis applying however. I suggest to spend some time on the essays and come up with something thoughtful.

Of all the ivy leagues, I think your best shot is at UPenn. They have lots of professional schools and joint programs. Your background would fit in. The second choice I would recommend is Columbia SEAS.
