Hey guys, I need some career advise.
Now, Im in 11th, and got decent marks in the boards (89%). I've taken science stream, only to take Computer Science, as I just hate Maths and Chemistry. Well, my mom has had an obsession of putting me into IIT ever since I was young, and forced me to join FIITJEE. It's not that bad, and I actually understand what's going on, and but I don't really have the motivation work that hard, as I really don't want to go to IIT.
Reason for that is, I personally think that the India education system sucks. There's so much hype over IIT. If I want to take Computer Engineering, I still have to do Maths, Chem, Physics. And there's no importance given how a person is at a particular subject, when choosing streams. They take into account PCM, to give Comp Science, and obviously, everyone here is obsessed with taking the stream.
Basically, my main is to get into a top engineering college in USA. Berkeley, or Caltech or something similar. I know I need to prepare for SAT, but I need to know how.
Is SAT difficult? Is there a need for a crash course for SAT? How many marks would I need to get into Berkeley or Caltech? What's the preparation like? Say, if I have Grade 6 from Rock School, will that make a difference? Or other co-curricular activites?
Thanks
