If you enjoy sleeping without being disturbed, eating without fear that your food will kill you, being sober during class (DURING not after), i would suggest you go elsewhere.

When I graduated in '87 there were only 7 Indian Americans as undergrads. I think that's the biggest reason I was accepted in the first place. But being honest with yourself and being sure of what you want to accomplish in life is extremely important. That's what I discussed in my student statement in my application.

BC was not my first choice, but I'm glad I'm here now.

I would recommend taking as many APs as possible and a few SAT IIs.

Try out a lot of things, find what you're good at and go with it. Let BC know how much it means to you and how it affects you. Let people and events affect, learn always and be open to everything. And if you don't get in... maybe it's not the school for you... but if you know it is... you can always transfer in!

I probably got in because I wrote a good essay and had 1400+ SATs, 700+ SAT IIs, and I was top 20 in my HS class.

I did everything a student who is aiming high (the Ivy's) should do.
If you are even slightly considering business, apply to the Carroll School of Management, not Arts & Sciences. Once you're here, it is very easy to transfer out of CSOM but extremely difficult to transfer in (due to high interest and competition).
