help needed....!!!!!

<p>Hello all...this is vandana...just finished my 2nd year of engineering<<in computer="" science="">>....from a pretty mediocre institute from india...
I really really want to get through to one of the top institutions to do my masters...<<read stanford,mit,yale,harvard,princeton,berkeley="" etc="">>>... which....many tell me....are WAY out of my league...but i really really want to try. I just am confused as to how i should go about achieving this.
I have an year n a half in which to prepare for and write my GRE and apply to the universities...so all im asking is...will u guys plz help me out here..? Tell me what i need 2 do get there...and i'll do it.</read></in></p>

<p>So far,i've got 93% in school{CBSE} and 96% in college....and in Com.Sci Engg. i've gotten 83% and 80% in 1st n 2nd yrs respectively. I'm a jack-of-all-trades type...totally into extra curricular stuff...not just into studies. Participated and won in many dance/sports/debate competitions... will that in any way help???
and do i have 2 write both the general and subject GRE to apply to a university?? And what are the average scores i need 2 put in,to even stand a chance of being accepted to a good university??
I'm quite new to the circle and i really hope u guys can gimme some advice on what to do. Thanx.</p>
