2.5 years ago, Khyati didn’t come to us just for an “admit.” She came to build a direction.

Today, she’s heading to HKUST with a 100% scholarship, and this win has years of quiet, consistent work behind it.

Together, we didn’t “add activities.” We built career capital:
- A nationalised impact project — SheFights
- A fully-funded summer programme
- A research paper under PhD mentorship
- A narrative writing programme to sharpen voice + clarity
- and 1:1 guidance from our mentors, the kind that challenges you, backs you, and makes you execute

Khyati, you’ve earned this the real way: with intention, resilience, and proof-of-work.

This is what happens when talent meets structure and dreams meet mentorship.

Onwards. We’re so proud of you. 🤍
— Team Tads

Applicants applying to Dartmouth ED are 5.2 times more likely to get into Dartmouth as compared to those applying RD.

On the other hand, Columbia, on its website, says:
“Yes. International students are welcome to apply Early Decision. However, even very competitive international candidates who are applying for financial aid and fall out of the “need-blind” category may be deferred to Regular Decision so the Committee on Admissions can review the entire global applicant pool.”

So, should you apply ED to an Ivy League college?

Swipe to know what’s the mathematical ED advantage at Ivy League schools, and our two cents on how to decide your ED school based on your financial circumstances.

ED (Early Decision) is an application plan where you submit a binding application and commit to attending if admitted to the college. ED application deadlines are in the first week of November and admission decisions come out in mid-December.

RD (Regular Decision) is an application plan where you submit a non-binding application to a college in the first 2 weeks of January and hear back from them by March. You’re not obligated to enroll if you get into a college RD.

“1550+ SAT but still got rejected from Harvard?”

This hits home for way too many brilliant Indian students. 🎯

Here’s the brutal truth: Ivy League admissions aren’t a math equation. While your peers are obsessing over that extra 50 points on their SAT, successful applicants are busy doing something completely different.

They’re asking questions that don’t have Google answers. They’re connecting psychology to entrepreneurship. They’re turning their curiosity into published research papers and six-figure startups before they even graduate high school.

What admissions officers ACTUALLY want to see:
- Evidence that you think beyond the textbook
- Projects that combine multiple disciplines
- The courage to explore ideas others call “impossible”
- Depth over breadth in your intellectual pursuits

The game-changer? Most students wait until 12th grade to start “building their profile.” Meanwhile, Tads students have been demonstrating intellectual depth since 9th grade through real ventures, research, and platforms that matter.
Your curiosity isn’t just a personality trait, it’s your acceptance currency 💰

What’s one question you’ve always wanted to explore but thought was “too ambitious”?

Drop it in the comments, you might be surprised how that curiosity could become your biggest advantage 👇
