<p>Hey everybody,</p>

<p>First of let me provide information about myself. I lived in the U.S.A. for 10 years. Now, though I moved to India and am a U.S. green-card holder, so I don't get counted as an International Student ( I presume). Also, I intend to pursue Economics/Political Science for my major. The universities which I am interested in are:</p>

<p>The Ivy Leagues tier 1 (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Wharton)
The Ivy League tier 2 (Columbia, Darthmouth, Cornell)
Stanford (Single-choice Early Action)
MIT
University of Cambridge
London School of Economics
UCL (The University College London)
University of Chicago
Northwestern
U.C. Berkerley </p>

<p>Essays/Recommendation</p>

<p>Essays: Not the waxing eloquent type. The essays were about me as an individual and how I uncovered different facets of myself during what I thought were insignificant periods of time.</p>

<p>Teacher Recommendations: Excellent (they used emphatic words such as one of the best students ever).</p>

<p>Counselor Recommendation: Talked about my leadership potential </p>

<p>Anyways, thanks in advance for everyone reading this. Please tell me what you feel (if its good then great, but please don't be reluctant to critique as well and tell me what I can do to improve)</p>

<p>Great chances at Stanford if the faculty already knows who you are. LSE’s a safety if you have a 44 predicted and really nice GCSE grades and aren’t applying for the Econ major. Everyone I know who applied got in. But seriously, dude, weren’t your stats kinda different the last time you posted a chance thread? lol </p>

<p>Anyways, good luck from a fellow South Asian! :)</p>

<p>Hey, thanks for replying.</p>

<p>Yes, this thread is different from the last thread. This is because I changed the perspective of Eutopia. Last time, it was just a general welfare organization. But now, I decided to concentrate my interests a bit. It is also different because I took my SAT’s and got lower than I hoped. I plan on retaking it again.</p>

<p>Kk, I was just wondering, wasn’t implying that you were lying or anything haha.</p>

<p>I just noticed a strange coincidence. I run a similar NGO west of your border haha. :)</p>

<p>Anyways, everything looks solid. No need to retake your SATs imo but if you feel you can improve then go ahead.</p>

<p>Come on guys. Please chance me.</p>

<p>Bump 10 char. Please guys.</p>

<p>Another bump. Again, may I have some critique?</p>

<p>You are in an extremely competitive pool. At the ivies/peers the competition among Indians, international or not, is brutal. You’re in the running, but if you really want the US, I would add some schools at the Duke/Vandy/WashU level, especially if you need any aid.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. Fortunately, I do not need any aid. Also, do you think I can do anything more to be “ahead” rather than just “in” the running? Other critiques/comments will be welcome.</p>
