This is the thread for all the Indian students applying to US universities for the Fall 2021 semester.
About me : Middle class high school senior from Delhi, hailing from a local high school which isn’t know well even in my city. Thus, no ‘clubs’ or particularly great ECs. Debate, Quiz and newspaper editing are some area where I’ve won at school level and participated at regionals. 96-97-78 percentages for classes 9-10-11 respectively, and expected 98 for class 12. Interested in maths and physics since childhood, want to be a physicist. Have developed some basic ideas of theories to explain the currently unanswered, but nothing published for peer-review as no one was there to guide me. Surely want to do great things, and need resources for that. Have a very personal story of my family going through financial crisis when I was 8. Visualization and critical thinking are my powers, and can explain things very intuitively. A much fav. of teachers and also among students, and also a funny person.
Applied REA to Harvard; Rejected !
Applying RD to : MIT, Stanford, Princeton(my dream school), Yale, Cornell, Mac, F&M, Reed, Richmond, Vassar, Colgate.

BEST WISHES TO ALL OF YOU !!!
