Yeah, I guess the '12 people don't really need this site any more. And I'm yet to see anyone from the class of '13/'14 on this site . Sure bodes for a boring couple of years, doesn't it?

Guess so.. Pretty unfortunate.. I personally feel that CC is a much better place to hang out than Orkut, Myspace and even Facebook. The last two years of your school life are so damn important. Why waste it on useless communities on orkut when you can almost get as good a counseling from Cc users than any other College counselor. But then its pretty early...most of the international applicants in 11th grade havnt even started planning for studyin abroad..and the Indians are busy choosing the right IIT coaching institutes..(kinda reminds me of my early days of 11th and 12th)..i'm sure they are goin to pik up sooner rather than later n cum 2 cc..

I realized at the beginning of 10th itself that I wanted to go abroad, and that IIT and BITS definitely weren't for me. I'm so glad that I did that - I would be freaking out in 12th grade if I decided to be like some other classmates of mine. This early knowledge has really helped...now I can finish off standardized testing with ease!

Tell me about it..I now realize how important it is to start preparin early..I joined FIITJEE for two years classroom..Come to think of it it was a total waste of time n money..its heartening to see that nowadays ppl like you know exactly what to do at just the right tym..rather than most others who are confused right till the end..

So have you also jumped on the 'I hate IIT' bandwagon?

Welcome Aboard, Samdrick! I saw your profile and noticed Astromanity. And yeah I am from Kolkata too. You might want to check out Lunexplorers - Home

Maybe we could meet somewhere? Gah another FIITJEE dropout here...

Hey Samdrick

Haha, quite impressive that you know where everyone from the thread's 'hard core' is going and stuff.

Congrats on Tufts, by the way! It's one of the few colleges I could visit and it's just gorgeous!!! Very green and stuff, and people are really nice. Plus, the location is perfect, kind of in a not so urban neighborhood but very close to Cambridge and Boston downtown!

aw jesus, i shouldn't even be on CC.. i'm kind of sick and stuff but who can stay the whole day in bed??

p.s. did anyone notice how i said "and stuff" three times in this post?
