What more can I do?

International Students
1

Hi!

I am in class 11 (passing out from class 12 in march 2018) in India. I plan to do undergraduation in science from the US. So what I am till now:
Gpa 10 in class 9 and 10. Expecting good marks im school in 11 and 12 as well.
Taekwondo national level player. Black belt.
Attended student exchange program in Japan.
Silver level Duke of Edinburgh award.
Member of Mensa India.
Many hours of community service(teaching underprivileged high schoolers in local school)

So I’ll be taking the SAT this December and expecting scores 1450 plus minus 70 and SAT subject tests in June next year.

What more can I do? I was thinking of attending summer school coming summer but it is way too expensive for me. In India, it is almost impossible for high school students to find internships and there as as such no science related programs here. I can do AP because my school does not offer any course.

So what can I do to enhance my profile in this one year to be able to get into top US universities?

Thanks to those who reply:)

Since your a member of Mensa I’ll tell you this - "the IQ of a person does not matter , what a person does with his/her IQ is really what matters’ . If I were you I would put that 99th percentile brain to use lel . I say shoot for the Olympiads .

I take all the olympiads. Get within rank 10 in school and in the latest international math olymiad got a state rank 5. But nothing really more. And IQ… i took the mensa test when I was 15. Probably that’s why I got in. I am I am not a genius and all. I am pretty dumb compared to the the geniuses of the my school.

@RaidoPsymentis What do you mean by “state rank” at the IMO?

Please note that top US universities are extremely competitive, particularly from countries such as China and India where a significant proportion of internationals apply. So make sure you have backup plans in case those don’t work out.
