<p>Your SAT’s are VERY good. Your grades, however (percentages) are VERY low in some areas. That may hurt you a great deal in the admissions process. That said, if you attend a very demanding school and your essays are terrific, if they don’t have many students from India applying, you may have a chance.</p>
