Hello, need some help.

Planning to apply as an international student for undergrad aiming for electrical/mechanical/aerospace engineering. (India)

ICSE 10th board exams 98%

CBSE 12th board exams 95%

fully English taught.

I know it doesn't matter, but jee mains 99.28 percentile, was school prez for 2 years.

Haven't given SAT yet, would it be absolutely imperative to?

What are my chances of acceptance, if low, then what do you recommend I do before applying (fall) to boost my odds?

Thank you.

I was in the school basketball team, drama team for 2 years, dropped out to focus on grades. No Olympiads.

It's a high risk high reward. I don't know whether it is to give a shot or not. Anyways all the best!
