<p>Hi
I am from India. I want to do a major in Neuroscience and Computers. Do I have a chance???
I am sure my essays are going to be fantastic. Why? I gave them 1.5 years of thought. My recs are in the process now … they’ll be top-notch too … my Physics teacher loves my research on neural networks and my English teacher for my recent play. So … CHANCE ME!!! As accepted or rejected. And also do mention some safety schools if all my given schools appear ridiculously out-of-reach. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Good chance, but not definite cuz its not definite for anybody. Apply to more than one school and u’ll probably get in somewhere good</p>

<p>are you international? do you need fin aid?</p>

<p>You will be a very competitive candidate, but if the answer to both of my questions is “yes”, it will make it harder for you.</p>

<p>There are several schools that are need-blind for internationals (Harvard, Dartmouth, Amherst, Williams are a few). You should add them to your list.</p>

<p>Your list of accomplishments is astounding, but I agree with the three previous posts:

  1. Being International+finaid will make it much more difficult
  2. apply to a range of schools</p>

<p>In addition, look at schools that are need-blind for internationals or consider moving to the USA for applications :D</p>

<p>stanford is not need-blind?
(sry this doesn’t answer the question, but i’m jst a bit surprised)</p>

<p>It is need-blind, but only for domestic applicants. For international applicants, not so much.</p>
