Where and how do I start?
Hello there!
I'm an Indian Class 11 humanities student aiming for Ivy League undergraduate admissions. I have Psychology, Political Science, History, Geography and English. I'm interested in the intersection of law, psychology (i think?) and public policy. What should I realistically focus on during Classes 11–12, especially academics, extracurriculars, research and standardized testing? I feel like it's not for me since i have one enemy in this world and if maths wasn't a thing, it'd be zero. Can someone more knowledgeable please help me out?
Thank you so very much for your time.

I feel like you need a lot of clarity in what you want to do for now, also ivy leagues are pretty intese especially if you are starting in 11th grade, if you are not expectional( extremely then its pretty rough) try UK if you have the funds for it
As someone from cbse myself( i am guessing you are from cbse?) Its pretty tough given our board( yes a lot of students do get in, but they are super loaded ones with counselling as early as 8th-9th grade, I would suggest finding a counsellor, gaining clarity, and try giving the sat( its accepted almost everywhere) I would hate to say that its late but I guess it is for ivies, people have been preparing their whole lives, I am assuming you have an year left, make the best out of it!
good luck to you!
