Hey, Sanjana you have maintained quite a wonderful profile. I mean from the beginning right? Here the thing is i can give you names of some universities but after skimming through your profile I feel that you can even make it through the ives if proper strategies are executed on time. since these ives demand a lot means a lot. one of my friend had a similar profile like yours he eventually made it to Stanford. The same implies to your case.
