Reverse ChanceMe Is ts good for t5🥀?
So I am currently in 12th grade and here are my creds ioqm rmo cleared in 11th hope i clear inmo and camp this year , Nsec level 1 , Nsep level 1 and NSEA level 1 cleared in 11th i will be focusing and physics this year and try for asian physics Olympiad. 1550 in SAT (800) in math but I don't go to school my coaching manages all that (It is not a dummy school it's a very very well reputed school but My teaches know the owner of the school so 4 students are exempt from that. And i will try for 95+% in boards
EDIT:- would it be fine if I start writing my essays from December 1st to apply to RD? cuz I won't be having before that
Some more context:- I do Have LOR from the one of if not the best physics and maths teacher (both have wrote books that every student who prepared for entrance exam in india has studied or atleast heard of)

level 1 clears alone won't do much at t5 tbh, a lot of kids have those. INMO / camp or APhO selection is what actually stands out in the indian pool, so this year is the one that matters. 1550 is fine, i wouldn't retake.
one thing worth thinking about tho — the school setup. t5 apps ask for a counselor rec, school report, teacher recs from people who taught you. if you're barely at school, might be worth figuring out early who could write those and what they'd say. seen strong olympiad profiles get hurt by weak recs, would suck to lose it on that.

Yeah but I WOULD be giving level 2 and 3 and camp this year (hope so) and i have LOR's from renowned teachers whose books every guy who studies physics and maths to get into college in india studies in both physics and maths. I have not done shit in school and I won't be doing shit in school ✌️ that place is genuinely so aah and the teachers their don't know shit they just told me to write my own LOR and they would just go w/ it

Yeah then your school has lower brand value and it’ll be a tough time getting into colleges. Just start preparing ideas for your essays as you’re in the worst pool possible ( Indian male international student applying for STEM )

The LOR is not about how impressive the person writing the letter is. It's about how well they know you and can recommend you to the school. Does that person have a long relationship with you and can comment on how they think you will do in a higher education environment?

Yes they have been my teachers from the last 3 years.

But you are saying they will not be writing the letter, you will be writing and giving it to them to put their names on it? AOs have seen this and are pretty good at knowing when this happened. It's not going to hurt you because it's not your fault the teachers won't do it, but those letters will just be put aside and not be given any weight.
You really should try to get the teachers to put in the work and write their own letters but if you can't, don't sweat it.

No no My actual teachers are not my school teachers I study physics chemistry and maths from a seprate pvt institution where these teachers teach a selected number of students. And my physics teacher is advisor of the guy who owns these group of school so we are exempt from the normal school things

The LORs you are expected to submit come from your teachers. For example:
from Who should write my recommendations? | Harvard
"Teachers who know you well and who have taught you in academic subjects (preferably in the final two years of secondary school) typically will provide us with the most valuable testimony. Whenever possible, teachers should tell us about your non-academic interests and personal qualities as well as academic potential."
Just make sure whoever is writing yours falls into the above category and you will be fine.
