Do I have a shot?

I’m have finished my first year at a decent university in the US as a neuroscience student, but over the year I realized I’m probably more interested in economics/business/consulting pathways long-term rather than medicine. I did well academically in CBSE (about 92%) and also had a 1520 SAT, and I’m now considering applying to Ashoka University as a fresh applicant for Economics and Finance. I do have decent ECs and I know it’s a slightly unconventional situation since I already started college abroad, so I wanted to ask how Ashoka generally views applicants like this.
Is there anything I need to know before applying (considering that R4 deadline is coming up pretty soon)Also, realistically, how competitive would an applicant in my position be? I’m still trying to understand how admissions work here since I originally only applied abroad, so I’d really appreciate any honest insight.
I’d also be keen on hearing everyone’s opinion on whether Ashoka is a good choice or are there any other universities which I should consider as well
