I must say that hitting the "complete" icon was probably the most difficult part of the College App Process. It takes heart to click on the icon; after all, it all comes down to this moment: two months of writing college essays (adding that so "hard to find" personal touch), prepping for SAT, whilst working equally hard in school, all together boil down to this moment. 

​I’m looking forward to an environment that gives me the kind of freedom to discover the area of study that I enjoy most, without any kind of restrictions on the courses that I wish to study.

​While rankings do give some idea about a particular college/university, one has to research in-depth and gauge the ‘fit’ of that institution – whether it meets your academic, financial and personal criteria. People do not consider things like climate and the size of the student body. But these little things add up.

​According to me the most important thing about preparation for these exams is to forget that we have the chance to take it again. Work for it, study for it, like it`s the last opportunity to do well in it.

​I chose colleges solely on the basis of the social and academic environment that they had to offer. I didn't factor in geographical location/climate at all. Different colleges are good at different things but I didn't apply to places where I wouldn't want to attend.

I’m conducting a month-long dance workshop at Calcutta Blind School Behala for 50-75 students with disabilities ranging from extremely low to no vision. 

I’m Regional Head for East India for the Indian International Model UN  (IIMUN) , which is Asia’s largest MUN conference being held at the World Trade Center in Mumbai. This involves a lot of running around and meeting with schools and sponsors for the next few months. I will also be Chairperson of the Historic Security Council at the conference in August.

I would definitely recommend the ACT to those who are stronger in Math than in English.
