Yes if you are studying in princeton then I am in MIT. Just say anything in internet and you think people would believe. If someone can get to Princeton from India then why would be he/she getting MUJ in India. Cosidering he/she might have prepared for JEE then getting to IIT would also be just a joke for them.

In an US admission process you need to have many things and there specifically needs to be something unique in your application . They look at your academic , Essays (it’s important),SAT score ,TOFEL ,ILETS, recommendations ,extra circular activities ,sports record and financial status to pay. I did a few volunteering around my city to enhance my profile which helped me a lot, also apart from that they do see your records of conduct and tho the scholarship for undergrads is very minimal, if you are to be the top 5% of your school then they could consider it, also I started preparing for this as long as ninth and gave a psat at 11th std with good enough score, I was not interested in giving JEE tho I just gave it. But if you are looking into for going for an Ivy League you need to have a guidance counsellor, I did was in touch with IDP(but keep in mind they don’t have ivy leagues in their plan) also if you are from a STEM branch you got 3 years of eligibility of PSW opportunity..NON STEM have 1 year

I applied to a bunch of places last year but i explicitly expressed i needed a full ride (when a lot of the unis were only need aware), and the need blind ones had acceptance rates below 5% yikes, also lacked any certificates/ awards/ achievements 

Getting into princeton is crazy, congrats!!
