I am an Indian student following C.B.S.E Pattern I Wanna study C.S In Biggies Like MIT/STANFORD/HARVARD
Jokes apart I think I have a genuine c.s passion below are my achievements rather my childhood spoilers
Cleared NTSE
Cleared KVPY
Got 5’s In 2 AP
Computer Science A &
Computer Science Principles
Maintained 90% C.B.S.E Throught My High School

Do I have any chances of getting into MIT / STANFORD / HARVARD
Most Probably Stanford as weather suits me.
Anyways thanks for taking time to read this .
You have a single-digit chance. The way all high achieving international students whose parents aren’t presidents, kings or world-famous celebrities do.
“Single digit” means 1-9, as in, you have somewhere between a 1% chance and a 9% chance of being admitted to one of the schools you listed. If you knew that and were really asking “why so low?”, it’s because the odds are low if you are an international student and don’t have some “hook”. As for the IOI, I checked the medalists list just now and I didn’t see any recent gold medalists from India, so mostly likely your actual odds are close to nil.
You sound like a smart kid but need to expand your list beyond the “biggies”, Caltech is more likely to accept you then MIT, and maybe Carnegie Mellon and a host of other top CS schools. If you go for just the big name schools you will probably be disappointed.
