<p>I'm free for any kinds of suggestions. Plz feel free to tell me ur views. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>You are certainly qualified enough, I think your stats and ec's are very impressive! It is always difficult to tell what the admissions committee is going to do, but chances you'll get in are very high!</p>
<p>@coolbuddy90 - I see that you have posted this query also on the Princeton thread. Before everybody else on these threads wastes valuable time saying how impressive your credentials are and how you would be a near certainty in all of these schools, I think it is a good idea to call your bluff.</p>
<p>"I have represented India in the International Mathematical Olympiad 2 times and have won gold both the times."</p>
<p>Nobody from India has won an IMO Gold since 2004. Sometimes trolls do good research to make themselves convincing, but this doesn't clearly apply in your case. Read this Wikipedia link:</p>
<p>I also know this because my son has attended the final camp for selection to India's IMO team twice. Neither he nor I have the data before 2004, but the idea of a sixth- or seventh-grader winning two IMO Golds for India is a bit too much :)</p>
<p>I am not even going into the other stuff, e.g., bronzes at the IPhO and IChO (their camps have a date conflict with the IMO camp in India), and all-India 3rd in your ICSE/CBSE exams, etc (2007?), RC from a former Prime Minister of India. Hahahaha!!!!!!</p>
<p>The "4 in your AP Computer Sc." was a nice touch, though!</p>
<p>in fact, i second IntlDad. i don't post in CC, but i saw that absurd post by coolbuddy90, and i decided something needed to be done. i know the IMO inside out, and i can vouch for the fact that no one from india got a gold in recent years. the other stats also appear absurd - a PM of india never writes reccos - ROFLMAO...in fact, for those who don't know, that claim was farcical.</p>
<p>i really think coolbuddy90 is lying big time here. and i never attack people on purpose, but this is really taking it a bit too far, and i believe this sort of thing shouldn't be encouraged in these threads. we are after all serious about chances and stuff.</p>
<p>seriously though, a perfect on EVERY section.......get real. and the medals...are you lying? sry, i'm either insanely jealous of you or you're lying. hopefully the second one.</p>
<p>^^^I second that! How dare you take for granted two institutions that are known for accepting a low percentage of applicants...and who's to say that you are amongst the crowd? Please, be serious here.</p>
<p>Do you even know how difficult it is to get into these schools?! I'm not trying to be mean, but you should really do your research before you think about applying to these schools.</p>
