The Juggernaut · 11-07-2009, 05:22 AM

Let's get this thing going.

The Juggernaut · 11-07-2009, 09:30 AM

Okay, so I don't think anybody else wants to take the initiative to start this thread - which means I have to do so.

Let me begin with a simple question, to all you Pakistani Class of 2014 CCers:

Where have you guys applied early?

imransadiq · 11-07-2009, 01:23 PM

Hi!

I applied to Stanford Early Action I wish Harvard hadn't abolished their EA. I really wanted to apply there. What about you Juggernaut?

To Everyone: People let's get this thread started as the Juggernaut earlier stated. Let's get going.

Unity, Faith, Discipline. Pakistan Zindabad!

@takoyaki: It is almost farcical that you relate the example of an individual's body odor to that of an entire nation. All I can do is laugh.

@imransadiq: Oh, Stanford! I know a friend who applied their early as well. Nervous, anxious, excited? Me, personally - I applied to Dartmouth.

Does Stanford confirm reception of application materials? If so, have you received anything yet? I'm still waiting.

talha_adnan · 11-07-2009, 04:33 PM

What colleges did you guys apply to as your safeties?

imransadiq · 11-08-2009, 02:08 AM

@takoyaki: Perhaps, you should not apply to any college since you seem to have the intellect of a three year old. Are all of the people in your country as dimwitted as you?

@The Juggernaut: I haven't received any confirmation yet. However, I have received an email regarding an Alumni Interview. It's scheduled for Friday and I'm very nervous. I have absolutely no idea what to say. At Dartmouth, did you apply to the Larson School of Business or the Fisher School of Engineering?

@talha_adnan: I'm thinking of applying to Purdue and GWU as backups.

The Juggernaut · 11-08-2009, 02:26 AM

@talha_adnan: I'm not really sure about safeties yet, have to start worrying about them soon.

@imransadiq: I applied to the Larson School of Business.

I didn't know Stanford had alumni interviews? I know they do have alumni interviews for those applicants that apply from the states (but that too in limited regions, I think) - so you must currently be in the states. What'd you apply for at Stanford?

larson school of business?

:S

Inert101 · 11-08-2009, 01:15 PM

imransadiq, what were your SAT scores?

i'm just curious.

btw, does anyone know how many people from pakistan apply to schools like harvard/princeton/yale/stanford/mit every year?

imransadiq · 11-08-2009, 11:35 PM

@Inert101: I got a 2370.

Math - 770
CR - 800
Writing - 800

Darn it! I got one question wrong in math. I hate this curve!

ahsanxr · 11-09-2009, 05:42 AM

That's awesome man. Where are you from?

I have a 2050 on my SAT (superscored) and thinking about applying to U of Rochester, Vanderbilt and Cornell.

Hey guys, this is tetrisfan from India. Just wanted to invite you all onto the Class of 2014 thread - it's a pretty fun place to be!

Inert101 · 11-09-2009, 07:27 AM

@imransadiq: Haha, good joke, but really, what did you get?

Also can anyone answer my earlier question about how many people apply to HYPMS from Pakistan?

ahsanxr · 11-09-2009, 08:18 AM

Inert101: Why do you think it's a joke?

Many apply to HYPSM but very few get accepted. A lot of people have misinformed opinions about getting admitted to these colleges. A few days ago one of my friends said "I have 9 A's in O-Level and will get 2100+ on my SAT so I have good chances at Stanford and MIT. Stanford is easier." W.T.F

Inert101 · 11-09-2009, 08:34 AM

It's a joke because that's exactly what I got....
