I can affford like 25k $ a year so require aid for anything over that
SAT Score :- 1540( 740 CRW + 800 Math)
Toefl- 110/120
Top 100 National Ranks in a couple of math and economics olympiads
Coming to my high school results - My school doesnt give GPA or class rank
And corrections are pretty strict so my percentage is like 75-80% However I am consistently in the Top 10% of my class
10th Grade- ICSE- 92.33%
Mid Year report should be 85%+ too
11th is 75% but I did request my counsellor to mention that I was among the top 5 students in the class and I am confident she did in her recommendations
EC:- Internship at the Economic Development Board of my State Government
Lots of Model UN (Chaired,organised,Won a ton of awards including Best del at Harvard MUN in my city)

Another Internship with a Real estate firm in there Finance department
Worked as a trainer/tutor for younger kids in international politics

Recommendations - Quite brilliant (From economics and business studies teacher)
Have one from an employer who i did an internship under as well and I guess its going to be really good
Legacy Status- My sister finished her undergrad from the class of 2017 at cornell (full scholarship)
My Dad did a 4 month training program in duke ( 2012) during which I stayed at their campus( Not sure that counts as legacy though)
