I guess 1500 is overkill. Even so, there is no need to be intimidated. I have read in one of MIT’s blogs that last year out of 500 applicants, 300 were incomplete or disqualified on first viewing. So, that 1500(if true) may reasonably come down to 500 or so. Indians, largely, don’t know what to do when they are applying to US colleges. Most of the time, they go for name-brands and that’s why the applicant/acceptance ratio is soooo large!
