Hi Harshil! It’s great that you’re setting high goals and planning ahead. To build a strong profile for top universities like Stanford, the University of Munich, or the University of Tokyo, focus on excelling academically (aim for top scores in your board exams and entrance tests like SAT, JEE, or university-specific exams). Participate in STEM-related competitions like Olympiads (Maths, Physics, or Computer Science) or hackathons, and try to publish a research paper or work on innovative projects. For extracurriculars, engage in community service, join tech clubs, or learn programming and robotics. Scholarships like DAAD (for Germany), MEXT (for Japan), and Stanford’s need-based aid are great options to explore. Maintain a strong resume by showcasing leadership roles, internships, or certifications (like Python or AI). Let me know if you’d like help crafting a detailed plan!

Mam, when you talk about STEM olympiad do you mean NSEP,NSEC,INMO ETC. As per Hackathons I don't have a environment where it is promoted much or talked about. We get no information about these things. Also their are as such no tech clubs in my locality. Also I don't think it would be possible to manage olympiad prep,jee prep,learning a second language(Japanese or german),learning programming and internship all together. But I am open to your thoughts and please can you tell me where to ask for advice or detailed plan from you as I am very confused about it

Good one nothing is big aspiration for human kind
