Can I get into American colleges (Ivy League, etc. ). With a HSC board background?

I am a student in the 12th grade HSC board. I am preparing for the JEE Mains and Advanced. I'm currently enrolled in a coaching institute for preparation. I would like to know if I can get admission into colleges like Stanford, MIT, UCLA given my board. I want to know if a GPA is key to admission.

    Hi,
    HSC board is just fine, why do you think it won't be accepted. GPA is very important and particularly the universities you are aiming for. All top ranking students will apply to these top universities so you have to think about the competition. Apart from GPA these universities also gives a lot of importance to test scores, extracurricular activities, awards, certifications and any other quality and skill which will differentiate you from other applicants.
