"Top Colleges are a dream for International Students until they come true!" Boys and Girls, I welcome you all to the Second Season of the Youth Philosophy Podcast where I would be interviewing 'The International Heros' who knocked hurdles in their face.

In this episode of The Youth Philosophy, Aman talks with Soubhagya Daspattanayak about his journey to the New York University(NYU Shanghai). Shoubhagya will be joining NYU this year. We as international students face a lot of hurdles whether that might be poor finances or a ton of competition but that is what makes us special right? This is how we stand out!

Soubhagya divulges how he got into NYU even after belonging to a financially weaker section of the society. He also gives off some of the most practical advice you need to get into your dream school whether that maybe a top school like MIT or an ivy league like Harvard.
