My daughter, applied for , and was accepted to many schools, but chose to go to UC Berkeley--She carried a 4.4 in High School, was the President of the Marching Band, and was the Co-Captain of the Varsity Volleyball team, with honors in Leadership programs--Once at Berkeley, she found a majority of the people in her program (MCB--Molecular Chemistry, and Biology, in which she graduated with Honors), to be from many other countries--Now, the majority of students in this program were NOT American nationals--The influx of the many indian, Pakistani, and Chinese engineers, in the late 1990's and early 2000's , during the Tech Boom, resulted in a sub-culture in the San Jose, San Francisco, Silicon Valley areas, and all through the other tech rich areas of the United States. The cultural study Ethic, and Succeed ethic resulted in many of these kids getting into very good schools--NOW--Do you have have any of these advanced skills, placement wise? Test scores, other interests, other than Academics? Money is not the panacea--Work ethic, and other interests led many of my Daughter's friends into Berkeley with full Scholarships--- Maybe look "out of the box", consult with others of your culture, or nationality, and see what has worked for them. I do know that Cal Tech is bitch to get into, yet I have known a sailor, that was accepted into the Electrical Engineering program, after blowing them off 7 years earlier, sailing around the world , and re-applying--He is now a Professor--Nothing is sure, nothing is impossible--Persistence , I think, is the answer--In regards to the earlier posts, if persistence fails, then bring a bag of a lot of cash-You will get into USC, with no problem--Mac

I liked your answer. When I first saw this thread I began a similar response, only to erase it. The points you made about foreign students is quite valid. I doubt any of them went to a forum or some other back door approach to gain entry into Cal Tech or MIT. The people that made it earned their way in. The person who posted the question should have ALREADY gone to all of the sites of the schools they're interested in as well as dozens of other schools. He/she should have ALREADY done their due diligence and whittled their choices down to the top 2 or 3 that best reflected the exact field they wish to enter. He/she should ALREADY be subscribed to any and all blogs of the professors and undergrads that are working on the type of projects they also want to be involved in. He/she should ALREADY be networking through Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. to people at the schools and workplaces of the field they hope to enter. Cover all the bases or go the old fashioned way...bring a big bag of cash.

Everyone wants the big time, not everyone is willing to earn it.

Lot of money may be Rs.15-20 Lacs may be more also.
