Hey, guys. I'm an Indian student wanting to get some suggestions on shortlisting universities.
Major in Computer Science. I shifted to Delhi to complete my high school, and so, I live alone as of now. Undertake most of the activities on my own. I was wondering if you could share how, according to you, adcoms might react to the following details.

Sorry for the above list looks kinda messy.
Avid quizzer. I love doing online courses. Certified with high distinction in 2 of them. Won Segreta (Online Crypt Hunt) IIT Bombay
Coded a 2P card game. Develop small Android apps.
Standardized Tests (Weakest point, I guess) SAT I: 1980 (Jan 2014). Improved some bit since then. Don't have a concrete proof to show the same, though. Might well take ACT in December
TOEFL: 107/120
AP scholar with distinction. Did 5 APs on my own (5,5,4,4,4)
Recommendation letters are well placed. Hoping to get a 32+ on ACT if I do take it. (I know I will, just to lessen the burden, you know). Counselor report should be fine. Expected grades already told ^. What else? Um, essays. I just feel that I can expand on the fact that I've done a lot of stuff on my own. My English says that I express beautifully. Let's see. Certainly, cracks in my jar.
Guys, can you please suggest me some universities? Assume that I don't need financial aid. Also, please tell me as to how my chances of getting into the same universities could chance if I were to apply for aid. Basically, two diff. lists if you've got some time. It's okay, and quite understandable. Thanks a lot! Ask me if I can help you in any way.
