The official Pakistani Thread for the class of 2016

@blueblovexD, I don't even know what you were replying to concerning experiences. Anyway. What's your name by the way? I know a lot of people from KGS. The people from KGS with me here are Salman Ali Asad, Ahmar Siddiqui and Ammar Mahesri. Not sure if you know them. I know a guy name Shehryar Haider too - in McGill now, and his siter's in your class - Mehrmah.

And someone asked about changing majors at UCLA. It's not too difficult, but if you're in engineering, I'd never switch out, because all the admissions for engineering go directly to the engineering school [HSSEAS], not the undergrad admissions office, and the engineering dept. decides whether to give you admission or not. It's very competitive. Also, you've got a likely letter which means you are in 99.99999989999% I mean I don't know anyone who would want to switch out of HSSEAS. The internet was created here! The biz-econ or econ majors are very good here but don't compare to engineering.

Did no one from KGS get into MIT? =S I know last year a girl did.

[bluelovexD]

Nope, no MIT this year for KGS.... Continuing the tradition after last year's (pleasant) surprise

Wasnt the internet invented at CERN?

[saeedajmal]

Two students from Beaconhouse Isb got into MIT too...so 5 in all

[gtfotu]

Nope. We did. The first message was sent to Berkeley by UCLA. UCLA, birthplace of the Internet, celebrates 40th anniversary of network's creation / UCLA Newsroom

And the first computer was invented at Penn.

[bluelovexD]

@iamanapp That was the first digital computer. The first computer was invented at Cambridge xD

^and the first computer virus was invented by pakistanis :P XD

[gtfotu]

yes, the first computer was made at Cambridge. It was basically an expansion of the concept of truth tables [AND, NOR gates, etc.] It was an addition gate called the half-adder.
