@sgopal2 Yes, I did apply for Financial Aid. There is no way I could afford it without that!

I have around 30 international achievements from Olympiads, quizzes, etc. which I included in my attached Resume and in supplementary essays. I also have a blog with around 2k subscribers on Wordpress! I competed in National Debates and MUNs and was a selected finalist in the official CBSE Science and Math Exhibition!

I could not state all this in my Common App because they were short competitions and did not make up a large part of my year, as a whole!

My backups are Indian colleges (IITs, NITs, VGTI etc., which I am likely to get into given my January JEE MAINS Score).

PS. Yale is also need-blind!
