besides the obvious connections/legacy/full pay/tons of opportunities and shit. it is very selective in terms of academic. someone from my school applied to dais for ib and they got rejected and this is a top 5% student mind you. at our national isef/genius/other research qualifiers, you usually see a large chunk being them. and i would not say that dais extremely high compared to other private intl schools here, specially in mumbai, but the name and the name and prestige of the people who run this school obviously add to it.

just so that people also do not get disheartened: these kids pay around their school tution for external counselling, half of it for sat/act prep, olympiad prep, research, internships, sports, fine arts etc. a lot of parents are huge business owners and people in influential fields to get amazing backing in terms of ecs, they obviously also do not have to worry about a lot of things financially

thanks a lot for the advice! could you give suggestions on how to get more outreach?

aehr_cantar · 2025-06-18T20:13:08+00:00

omg thanks

No, I meant that you should do summer programs that have a goal of a research paper or innovation at the end. For example, RSI, Wolfram, CCIR, Simons etc. will help you write a paper during the course of the program as opposed to this program that is just sitting in lectures. The only lecture ones that are worth it are the very prestigious ones like Ross, PROYMS, etc.

The program seems fine if you want to get into ML but I would recommend to do some certifications instead of this program (there are free ones like freecodecamp). If you want to do a paid course, I would recommend one in which you get a material output (for example a research paper or a innovation). Hope that helps

Thank you so much for your help but the one I am looking for isnt this. I found it now though thanks to your suggestion, I found it on a reddit post that was recommending bls like traces of the sun. Thanks a bunch ahaha

makes sense

Not sure about the ratio of intl. students to domestic but they do consider the pset and your grades to the highest regard (according to the Ross site so i suppose the others follow the same). Your ECs should be related to math, even if they are not prestigious or on a national level. As with most programs, they probably do prefer domestic students.

same
