1. I had created a spreadsheet of countless colleges and narrowed them down according to the amount of money they give to international students. My list includes 3 ivy leagues, 15 top LACs, 3 very low tier college (with really low average SAT scores) like Berea college and Bennington College.

1. It is tragic because an engineering college in India requires the entrance exam JEE and I didn't prepare for JEE because all my time was eaten up by the SAT, AP , college essays etc. I can only study Bachelor of Science. The syllabus includes 80% of the things I don't care about.

2. No one is here to advise me. But I knew, back in my mind, that there is a VERY high chance that I will be rejected. But if I had listened to that voice in the back of my head, the relentless motivation that got me throw the tedious US college admission procedure would have not been there. I had to put that blind faith in myself, only then it made sense to put in that work.

@redpoodles‌ That’s very sad considering the time and work that goes into each application.

@paul2752‌ I know that my real friends won’t mock me. But I will be ashamed of MYSELF.

Regarding your question about my GPA and other things:
I’ve developed apps that have reached the top charts on Google Play (but free app so I didn’t earn money). Worked at a fortune 100 MNC for a year. Didn’t earn an enormous amount of money because it was like an internship and I was very young. Created innovative solution aimed at reducing obesity, appeared on numerous magazines and TV channels. I’ve 8.8 CGPA in 10th? 72% in 11th and 85% in 12th midyear.
