Math and economics at Yale

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.

@mumbai98 How do you figure? I would have thought there would have been many more competitive applicants just from the city of Mumbai alone.

There are well over a 100,000 Indian Student Visa’s active in the US right now. I had read that in 2011 Brown had over 300 applicants from India , and the amount was growing at an astonishing 20%/year. I would think (because of it’s brand popularity) Harvard would have many more applicants than Brown.
