<p>Hello, I'm Anish from Kolkata, and I'm looking to give the SAT I and SAT II with Math II and Physics and the AP Comp Sci. I've overcome a LOT of parental resistance(Yeah) to come to this point, and I just need some pointers, or just a list of what the Class of 2017 has done to fulfill their dreams. Also, what is the best time to apply for admissions?</p>

<p>I mean, when, where did you give your Exams, The type of essay one needs to write to the Ivies, et cetera.</p>

<p>Do you have a new story to share…??? One that can really take anyone off their feet?? if so then that essay will get you into any college in the US…as for stats…just stay over the minimums/cut-off scores.
Oh and It doesn’t really matter what others did…It all depends on what you want to do :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Oh and I may not my too reliable since I didn’t get into any ivy-league college(applied to only 1)</p>

<p>Ivies do not matter, I’m only applying to 3: MIT(May not get, others have waay more achievements), Dartmouth(Better chance), and Cornell(May get… I just don’t know).</p>

<p>Stanford is my dream(mostly because I’ve read the Google Story), and Caltech seems cool, but very small and thus tougher to get admitted to. Carnegie also seems to be a good choice, and my uncle(very far relative) teaches at Drexel(so, tick that too).</p>

<p>I think I have to rephrase the Question:

The conflicting “advice” I’m getting from all sides is confusing me, so I’m asking the people who have actually given the tests to guide me(with a list) about how to go about it(vague lists are also welcome).</p>

<p>About my story:
