Hi,
I am a sophomore from India. I was just curious to know the level and nature of ECs that are required to get into a place like Stanford or an Ivy. I’m not asking you for a list of ECs, I’m just curious to know how deep and how high level they have to be to get into such a place.
Note - I’m thinking of pursuing Econ
Go to the chances forum and read the pinned post about ECs. Lots of good suggestions.
You should be aware that your competition as an international student from India means that your competition will be absolutely fierce. Schools like Stanford are only going to take the cream of the crop of international students. You need to have truly outstanding extracurricular activities, and I am not talking about Model UN and volunteer work. If you are a sophomore in high school and wondering what types of ECs will look good to those colleges, it is not likely you are going to have the kinds of activities under your belt that will impress those schools. I am not trying to be mean, just realistic. Find other US colleges that have better acceptance rates.
