@arwarw I completely understand the risk of not being able to leverage the early admissions advantage by not applying to universities that accept more students. I am not keen on doing ED. Mudd is already on my list and I’m also considering Middlebury.

That being said, quite a lot of people apply to colleges in the US from India. I wouldn’t be far off the actual number if I estimate it to be around 5 to 6 thousand. But, I believe that only 200 to 300 stand a good chance of getting into a top college. Out of that, maybe 30 to 50 stand a really good chance at HYPSM and the likes. Yes, only 4 or 5 (this year it was 5) people get admissions at these colleges every year, but that is a chance I’m willing to take.

I’ll PM what I have actually done so that you can judge for yourself. I don’t want to reveal my identity on this site.
