<p>First, if you can write in English…</p>
<p>Crunchie, no one can tell you what you should do and whether you can get in. The fact is, to get into Princeton, Harvard, etc., you will be competing against the very best, and most accomplished students in India. Which means top scores, likely international olympiads, academic competitions, etc. How do you compare to the elite students in your country? That’s more of the question you should be asking.</p>
<p>Being God at sports should be enough.</p>
<p>Or maybe you could go on vacation someplace that’s highly susceptible to floods…and let your cow die.
A traumatic story always impresses!</p>
