Hello, thanks for your input
Context for grading sytem: I am near the top of my class in my school, even though my grades seem low by US standards. For extra context I am in a small public school in my India which follows the state curriculum (HSC)
The LAC’s which are on my list have appealed to me while researching US colleges online, Bowdoin for example isn’t known for CS, but the college really appealed to me for its atmosphere, campus and I really just like the college.
I should also mention that I am primarily focused on colleges in my home country (I am preparing to take the JEE and my states CET entrance exams for engineering colleges in India) however, I’m also applying to US colleges as well so I can have more options.
Hope this explains some of the stuff I forgot to touch on in the post.
