<p>thanks so much for your help!!</p>
I think your GPA is great, ECs are great also, and if you write an outstanding essay, you probably can get into one of Harvard, Yale, or Stanford. The fact that you are an Indian might be a bit of a minus but you do have your citizenship here right? Since you go to public school? Then, I think it won’t be a big minus for you.
