Gone to athens for my visa-which was approved
Why are you guys worried about TOEFLs??? They are ridiculous!! With a good CPE preparation, you can ace them!

wow I think Stanford's SCEA applications will skyrock and they'll do a lot of deferrals... (with H&P eliminating their early round)

Oh cmon guys, it means that they evaluate each applicant in terms of the applicant pool, something that they are unable to do during the EA round. That is why this girl I know with 1800 SATs, crappy ecs and adequate grades got into Harvard for the class of 2011.
Cuz she applied EA.

those are exceptions

I can't believe I am saying this, but in the words of my father *deep voice* "It is not the college that matters, it is your career."

i'd say it's both funny and scary if a 17 year old girl quotes her father on an internet forum

Naidu, it's not an exception. It is the reason why EA is being abolished at both Princeton and Harvard. No matter how idealistically we try and want to view Ivy Leagues, the truth is there are underpinning elements such as place that are taken into consideration. Did you know that Harvard takes roughly one applicant from my state every year for the past 5 years, regardless of how good they are? Guess why: the so called diversity is the first thing that comes to mind. But by doing so, other applicants are undermined if somebody applies EA. That is why EA is being abolished IMO.

And please don't quote your father again
After all, I so disagree with him that if I ever met him I was gonna start a fierce debate with him. What do you want: a stellar education or an auspicious career? A coalescence of the two would be incredible, but education is top for me. Money does not make the world go round, and if it does, then I'd rather immigrate to Mars.
