@thereisnolimit there mustn't be ifs or buts in that.... for most of us

Anybody giving the DEC 1 SAT?? Only 16 days left. . . .
Btw, what are you guys studying for the Writing "grammar" portion?? I haven't given W priority as much CR and the M portion. What about u guys?

@sixstringsrocker Helpful advice bro!!

[macmurderharder]

i am giving the DEC 1 SAT. Same here, I am focusing more on the CR + M sections

[JacobsWannaBe]

@scourge566... you should do as your username suggests... search for the |silverturtle's guide" on the forum of college confidential.. it has extremely useful writing suggestions for SAT...

personally, i was abysmal at the writing portion until i discovered this and scored 700 on the section...

[scourge566]

@macmurderharder Okz bruv, best of luck for your coming SAT! Btw, how did your Oct 6 SAT go??

@JacobsWannaBe lol..if i'll do as my username suggests then their will be more damage on my SATs. Okz I'll have a look on silverturtle's guide..700 on W, wow! conrats!! What were your other scores ?? Are you giving the DEC 1 SAT?

[JacobsWannaBe]

finished SAT in May.see my post history for my score breakdown.... but they are good enough i guess...so no SAT again

hi everyone
i will start by mentioning writeordie.com(@nepalimussa) which i picked up from one of the blogs at mitadmissions.
@sixstringsrocker that was a great post

i am applying to jacobs for Round I and at the moment befuddled by why the adcom wants a 1000 Euro Bank Statement, before we are even admitted. :/

is anybody else applying there? wants to give a say about this ?

[velocity21]

hi!
is nobody around here applying JUB this year ?

[thereisnolimit]

I think I will apply for Round 2. velocity 21- how did you send your application? did you send Commonapp or college application?

[velocity21]

I am applying through campusnet - the JUB online application.

[scourge566]

I am also thinking of applying on Round II. I messed up my SAT on Oct...so waiting for the Dec SAT. I guess it's easier applying through common app!

[scourge566]

@JacobsWannaBe Congratulations for your SAT score! Those scores can definitely take you wherever you want!! Where are you applying btw?

[macmurderharder]

does Bucknell University give ample amount of financial aid? Is there anyone who went there? Confused!

[JacobsWannaBe]

@scourge566 Thank you brother.. I have ED-ed to Colby and also will apply to a bunch of other LACs... and one university- Yale...

Yeah my academics are good (All As ) and SAT is okay too.. However, I am not sure if I will be evaluated as a Nepalese or an Indian ..since I have lived whole my life in Delhi, India. However, I am a Nepalese citizen... My High-schooling was in India too...

By the way, good luck to all the fellow applicants around...

[scourge566]

@JacobsWannaBe When are Colby's ED results out btw? Best of luck for Yale bro!! Of course you are Nepalese then, you'll have a double advantage..Americans love Indian brains and adore Nepalese demeanor. You have both the positive points!

@macmurderharder If you are applying to Bucknell University then you NEED to know these;
1. There are 144 international students in Bucknell U *undergraduate students
2. 24 of these international students get financial aid *need based

I heard someone went to Bucknell from Nepal few years ago.
