| To all guys who gave their strong opinions on my post,
Admission process is a long process for us...
but admission officers take significantly less time to make a decision.......
there are probably four, one of them the "head" who will be making the final decision..
So, essays, SATs, GPA, ECs, everything are about making impressions....
If you have anything extraordinary in anything , you can impress
A guy with fine essays and ECs alone cannot be expected to do fine in a very rigorous cirriculums.
that's were stats stand; the colleges want academically talented students
with craetiveness , an extra benefit in most of the cases
you guys will soon know that SAT is much important for an int'l student than it is for an US student; I do not need to justify anyways. |

| And look at this mail from lafayette college to me,
Dear <*****>,
Thank you for contacting me. We do not have a record of your earlier request for your information, so please provide us with your full mailing address so we can send you some materials. Only the top student should consider applying ED to Lafayette. Your SAT score of 1490 is outstanding, but equally important is your transcript. We would expect outstanding marks in a rigorous cirriculum, i.e. mostly A's. Please let me know if you have other questions. Best regards.
Skip Staats.
Associate director of admissions
Where are the other "important" Factors?
I agree that admission process is unpredictable for RD. But, it is predictable (to a extent ) for ED. | |

| that is why ED is considered less competitive and they have higher acceptance percentages for ED | |

where ever you are you are better one but why you are laughing at.you are not laughing at me you are laughing at yourself.
everyone dying for American Education why?I can't understand i will try it later cause i don't have much more money to spend on it right now.for your information Pulchowk's syllabus belongs to North America.so i feel i am studying American Syllabus being in Nepal.you are in Lafayette it doesn't mean that you are winner and i am looser.i just gave up cause i am poor in English.i am nepali and proud to be a nepali.Be sure i am talented one cause being poor in english i am admitted with English talented students.DV for STATE means there is easy entrance and schoolarship for technical student in US.technical student easily got work permit in US and UK,isn't it like a DV for STATE?
i am sorry for my rubbish words but you hurt my nationality and my talent. | |

| @ skunk...your scores look pretty decent to me...(infact a lot more than decent actually )...i am surprized that you have chosen amherst as your ED... looking only at your scores..I know you can get at many other good Liberal art colleges better than amherst...( may be that depends on what major you want to do).... you look just too naive in your college list... you could be more expressive I presume.... | |

| I mean you are being just too humble and modest...you certainly have the potential for landing yourself in one of the top notch universities with those kind of scores..I know a friend of mine last year had similar scores and he ultimately went to Pton..so... I think you got what I meant.. | |
