<p>How can I improve my chances … Will a great essay and a proper explanation of my family circumstances … help …</p>

<p>How can I show to these colleges that I have the potential but due to adverse conditions I couldn’t perform that well in my High School …</p>

<p>Past mistakes shouldn’t ruin ones future …Isn’t it … How to tell this to the college Admission committee</p>

<p>Even my School teacher’s are ready to testify that … I was one of the brightest boys of my school …only that I didn’t get a proper environment to study … and I lost interest in my studies due to my ever increasing family problems…</p>

<p>You’ve posted this same exact thread over 5 times. Relax. Posting it more time on different boards is just annoying, moderators are probably going to delete some of them.</p>

<p>You need to read through everything (and I do indeed mean everything) at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/) Then you need to make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center closest to you. There are several in India [EducationUSA</a> - Find an Advising Center](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/India]EducationUSA”>India | EducationUSA) These counselors are expert at helping students from your country find good places to study in the US. EducationUSA is a not-for-profit organization. If you are charged any fees, they will not be very expensive. Many of their services will be free.</p>

<p>You also should spend some time reading through the information in the International Students Forum. There is a sub-forum there specifically for students from India: [International</a> Students - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/]International”>International Students - College Confidential Forums)</p>
