How do US universities look at Indian students' profiles?

Hey folks! :waving_hand:
Just wondering—how do US universities actually evaluate our profiles during admissions? I mean, is it just about grades or do they care about other stuff too? Trying to figure things out early so I don’t miss anything important later. Also, what happens post-admission in US universities—anything we should be preparing for already?

Good question! It’s def not just about marks. They usually look at the full picture—grades, extracurriculars, essays, LORs, and even your personal story. So if you’ve done stuff outside school that shows leadership, creativity, or impact, that helps too.
