<p>have already taken the sat (800 v 760m), will be taking sat 2 on saturday.
I'm planning to major in eco or finance and have applied ea to harvard.
My resume is already posted on this forum...
ya... the education standards are pretty rigorous in dps but i guess that doing the 11 th and 12th grade in us gives you an added advtg. because you are already familiar with the edu. system as compared to most international students.</p>

<p>indian here, </p>

<p>just a suggestion: if u want to get a MBBS get it in India (just 5 years) whereas in the US its undergrad + medical school. So if u have the option seriously consider India</p>
