<p>@International95 i know Berkeley is among the best in the world…and it be great for me if I get there…but yes I don’t really know much about them apart from the internet or my peers…and thats why I’m on this site,to know and to have exposure about what to expect in the US…I honestly don’t know much</p>
<p>@Ghostt my reasons are quite clear…i am one of the best students of my school…the Indian education system in shambles,I want to escape the rut and do something worthwhile…so I am exploring all my options…hell, I don’t even come from a big Indian town,so all my info. comes from the net…I know what I like,and just to let you know I’m not a maths obsessed typical Indian kid…but yes I want to get to S or M because I have heard a lot about them,I explored a lot,read a lot about them…and felt that if it was in my hands,that is where I want to be…I also know that I have a near zero percent chance of getting in…and yes I’m slightly unfocused,i don’t know what my goals are…I love coding and i love physics…I am a sports fanatic…and I don’t know what I’ll end up doing,where will i be…and you know what,a i expect that after 4 years in a great college I would have an answer to those questions…my life ambitions-there are somethings i would love to be,but my personal belief is that predicting where you’ll be in distant future is life weather prediction during monsoon…the factors involved are so much that you almost never get it right…i want a college that would equip me to face the world,to help me know what exactly I want of life and make the best of my talents…and this might seem a very narcissistic statement to make,but I’ve rarely encountered kids as as good at me at things I like the best…that might be because I’m a small town kid with very little exposure to the rest of the world…and so I want to know what i’ll be up against and how will I know that if I don’t have peers who could classify as the finest in the world…and answer my question,how does a clueless outsider like me decide where to go except by the opinions of those around him…or internet ranking…or “prestige”…I won’t get to visit these campuses before admission(which I’ll be lucky to get)…so i count on you guys to help me out…</p>
