Basically all of my Indian friends are amazing. Most didn’t take IB or A-levels but a national Indian exam, so it shouldn’t matter too much.They have done something awesome like winning Olympiad medals etc. Get involved and be awesome and you’ll probably get in. And let me correct this, financial aid has nothing to do with your admission. Quite separate offices. And I think Indians have some rich donor- called Tata- so if you get in, and you need aid, you should be fine. But for the non-Indian applicants, the financial aid is very limited and if you get in, it depends largely on your credentials and hence only a few int’l students get aid. Still aid comes after admission.
