<p>Not all too different you and I (except that I’m much older). Guessing you attend ISKL? I attended ISB and SAS and did MUN as well. Do you hold an Indian passport? What are you going to study? You have a great shot at NYU and UChicago, Harvard and Dartmouth are a bit of a stretch. Tell me what your future plans are, and I can guide you. There are certain things as international students you have to keep in mind, for your college life and your future.</p>
