<p>I’m Indian (by ethnicity) as well, and I can tell you one thing: its going to be very hard for you to find good help on a primarily American board.</p>
<p>For example, you’re writing how well you did on your boards. Very few people are going to know what those percentages mean. Sometimes I hear how my cousins did on those boards. Those numbers sound low to me as an American. However, my mother tells me, that the grades are done differently in India, and the numbers are actually very high.</p>
<p>Also, its going to be really hard to chance an international applicant. </p>
<p>To help you beef your application up, all I can say is definitely study hard for the SAT and retake it. Your score is very good, but the higher your score is, the better it is for you.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>By the way, you should probably stop posting variations of this thread in so many sections…you’re not going to find the magical formula to be admitted everywhere here on CC. You’re obviously going to get the same response everywhere: improve your SAT score, get more involved, bring your grades up, write great essays, etc. That’s basically all you can do, and then you have no control.</p>
<p>Dude, what gives? You’re making these threads on pretty much every school’s message board!</p>
