<p>Hi, I am an international applicant from India and am applying for financial aid. This is very, very stupid but I am incredibly nervous and would appreciate it if someone could chance me.</p>
<p>Received a full scholarship to study at Raffles Institution, Singapore at the age of 13.
GCE A-Levels: Perfect score, with a distinction in Modern Physics
SAT: 800(M), 750(R), 680 (w)
SAT II: 800(Math II), 800(Physics), 800(Chemistry)</p>
<p>ECs:
- President of Raffles Entrepreneurs' Network 08-09. Spearheaded ventures that yielded a revenue of USD 24000 and profits of USD 15000 in one year.
- Spearheaded fundraisers and social programs that resulted in education being sponsored for an entire village in India, raised funds for homeless children in Cambodia and allowed autistic children to integrate into the mainstream society, among other things. A total of more than 2500 volunteers/donors were engaged.

- Traveled to Brazil and Indonesia for competitions, forums and leadership camps. Organized and took part in camps pertaining to business and social issues in Singapore.

<p>Other random stuff:
- Play the electric guitar. Play amateur soccer and tennis.
- Have been in a committed relationship for 5 years (probably irrelevant, felt like putting it down nonetheless)
- Grew up in an environment where I had to study under a kerosene lamp because of financial difficulties.
- Have been working on creating a Social Innovation Center at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.</p>
<p>I'm insanely nervous about the results. Anyone else feeling butterflies in their stomach?</p>
