<p>I don’t know how HKU even came into the conversation, but I’d much rather go there than to UT Austin. I don’t think UT Austin is worth four years in the States.</p>
<p>Honestly, the more I read your posts, the less convinced I become you’ll write a great college admissions essay. Your reasons for applying seem unfocused and unexceptional, and your ability to articulate them is questionable.</p>
<p>In any case, I don’t know how to say this in an inoffensive way, but Harvard and Stanford aren’t likely to be impressed with yet another math-oriented Indian boy ‘obsessed’ with their ‘prestige.’ I suggest you start thinking about your values and where you want life to take you, and see how the universities you so badly desire would fit in with your ethos and life ambitions. Emphasis on the ethos.</p>
