Brilliant EC's.

But one word of caution with such a profile; don't exhaust the list with so many EC's.

Go for quality over quantity. You can only enter 10 best EC's in the common app form.

Get cracking with the SAT.

Don't worry! You doing good!

Agreed, what's your SAT score? It does have some bearing, although it's conveniently ignored most of the time. In addition to that, there are also SAT subject tests and such.

Also, are we talking about the same International Olympiads? Because I don't remember there being percentiles in those... either the IMO or the IIO.

Stanford and Caltech are very stingy with financial aid for internationals--and more so for Indians, with the cutthroat competition. Furthermore, without an international olympiad medal, MIT is a tall order. That leaves Cornell, which I believe is a match.

That's just my two cents...

I'm a Indian applying early too. In fact I study at a DPS too, (DPS Sharjah) and I know how good RKP is (I used to study at one of your competition schools, Mother's International in Delhi) You're my competition for both US and IITJEE but you're in for sure. With those ECs , it's hard to falter. On a personal note, I commend your achievements despite your disability. Btw, weren't you part of your Aryabhatta team in 5th, I guess you guys were runners up to us, I'm wondering whether I should include something so far back in the application.

Best of luck! You're sure to get financial aid, I hope i get too!

Kartik! Kartik! Kartik! I'm trying to apply to MIT as well but not this year. In the meanwhile, I hope with all my heart that you get in. I know you will be. You're full of promise and the stuff that MIT is looking for. You have just proved to everyone that disabilites are never obstructions and that they're part of everybody's lives. Some people give up because of them and others don't. You didn't give up and that's why you're where you are right now. You're a true role model. Keep up the good work and dazzle those MIT admissions officers! Show them Kartik can never fail!

actually the above information troll/pirated/no sense i think so .i did not read the entire information but i think its fake cuz
1)president apj kalam is president (upto 2007)he must be 8th class and president pratibha patil regin (upto 2012 aug)he must 11th class i dont know how he made two presidents of differents times come on one stage to watch his performances( highly impossible )princess of thailand is 21years gal watched his performances( she came for visiting temple in east india not new delhi ncr).
2)according to cbse records 99% percentile is highly impossible (may b syntax error )or indulged in malpractices bcuz over last decade all india cbse topper never crossed 97.4%, so not possible .
3) students need not learn french at school level cuz there is no subjects/syllabi about french language in school education system .4) indian govt never had magzines ,e-media or printing media (i dont know where he got published)
............................ so information is designed intelligently and i did not read all the fake information . if the article above is genuine ,the student may good at multi tasking things or he's well known writer

^The credentials are real.

Tizil7

The person's real. His achievement's are real. We're from the same school.

dasadhikarik

There is no chance in HELL that those International Olympiad results are real... if we're talking about the same International Olympiads. Don't flame, it's just reality.

rew2402

^ its upto you to believe in it or not.
yes, the credentials are real.
the guy's real.
the achievements are real.
'nuff said.

dasadhikarik

Of, really? The credentials are real??? Why don't YOU go and look at the IMO, IPhO, etc etc pages, and write me back, telling me if he's on the lists or not. Because I certainly can't find him...

I'm sick and tired of all the rigid stances taken by the posters here. I fully concede that he may have taken part in international olympiads, just not THE international olympiads... only to get a bunch of people harping on about belief--and a belief that goes against objective evidence, for that matter. Have a good day, sir.

dasadhikarik

Oh, and by the way, if ANY indian got 96.55% on the International Mathematics Olympiad, we wouldn't be placing in the late 20s and 30s. Check your facts before you post PERIOD

Mrinal2207

^Thank You for the advice -_-

rew2402

^^ thank you for nothing

Hi,

Although I do not feel it to be necessary to reply, yet responding:

1)president apj kalam is president (upto 2007)he must be 8th class and president pratibha patil regin (upto 2012 aug)he must 11th class i dont know how he made two presidents of differents times come on one stage to watch his performances( highly impossible )princess of thailand is 21years gal watched his performances( she came for visiting temple in east india not new delhi ncr).
Ans. Who said that I’ve performed for both the Presidents simultaneously. I performed for the Former Presidet of India, Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam on the 10th of March, 2005 at the inauguration of the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital, and had an interaction with him for over half an hour thereafter. I performed for the former President, Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil on the 18th of April, 2012 when she was invited to our school to celebrate the forty years of excellence in education. Can send pics of both the events.

Princess of Thailand visited DPS, R.K.Puram when I was in grade VI and I had the honour of interacting with her.

2)according to cbse records 99% percentile is highly impossible (may b syntax error )or indulged in malpractices bcuz over last decade all india cbse topper never crossed 97.4%, so not possible .
Ans. Firstly, there’s a whole lot of a difference insofar as percentage and percentile is concerned. Check out what percentile means here: Percentile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 97.4 that you’re mentioning is the percentage (or as is commonly called aggregate), and not the percentile. The CBSE topper is sure to have a percentile score of a 100. Hope it’s clear to you.

I’m talking about the CBSE proficiency test conducted by the Board in July 2011. This being a public forum, I cannot share my proficiency test roll No. for you to verify the data. If you want to believe it, please do, otherwise please don’t.

3) students need not learn french at school level cuz there is no subjects/syllabi about french language in school education system .
Ans. Oh really, look up the CBSE class X Board Examination Date Sheet. Or even better, look up DPS, R.K.Puram’s website, and let me know if you do not find French as one of the subjects being taught.

4) indian govt never had magzines ,e-media or printing media (i dont know where he got published)
Ans. Look up Ministry of Textiles. They have a magazine `Tana Bana` which features articles promoting National culture and heritage. My article on the `Importance of national language` was published in this magazine.

@Dasadhikarik

Please don’t confuse the International Olympiad in Informatics and the International Informatics Olympiad. The two are different. I have participated in the latter, which is organized by the Computer Literacy Foundation.

Similarly, the International mathematics Olympiad that I’m talking about is not the one for which you have RMO as a screening. In stead, it is the one organized by the Science Olympiad Foundation.

The National science Olympiad is again organized by the Science Olympiad Foundation. I have my certificates to prove the percentile and rank!

You do have percentiles in the National Science Olympiad and the International mathematics Olympiad organized by the SOF.

BTW, I was not even allowed to take the screening test for the International Olympiads (including the National Standard Examinations and the RMO) on grounds of my disability. But, that’s another story that I’m talking about in my essay.

Any ways, if any one of you would like to confirm those achievements, you may refer to the Education World Magazine (which is available online). Or even simpler, googling will serve the purpose. I guess we’re all smart enough to do that!

Hope this answers most of the queries.

dasadhikarik

^Yeah, okay. Great then. That's all I wanted to know. Please understand that my comments are not directed against you, but against the vast multitude of posters here who simply spit out posts claiming information that is clearly refuted elsewhere. Have a nice evening.
