Applying to the College Class of 2017 (Starting College in the Fall of 2013)

<p>@duresham Thanks … A guy from Roots (Same Aun Zaidi) got into 5 Ivy Leagues (Harvard, Brown, Yale, UPenn, Columbia) with full aid… I envy him so much</p>

<p>congrats, bad news for me. Rejects across the board
What was his SAT 1, ahtesham?
Well deserved. Waitlisted people, take up your spots. There will be openings for Pakistani students!</p>

<p>@ ahtesham and PakiRootsian what are Aun Zaidi’s curriculars? He seems to be a brilliant well deserved candidate!</p>

<p>I got into Northeastern University, Purdue and UMass Amherst ($8k scholarship).
Confused whether to attend Northeastern or Purdue. Any opinions? Personally, I love Boston and the campus of NEU. Their co-op is kick ass too. But obviously, Purdue for Computer Engineering is awesome. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>I would like a little help guys. Which one do you think I should pick, NYUAD with $70k scholarship or WUSTL with $40k?</p>

<p>@duresham NYUAD and NYUAD! No second thoughts. It is an amazing uni with global campus( you know more about it than me) Although its a new uni but still is developing so fast and now it has very high reputation in both USA and Asia. Good luck with choosing your future uni. If you want advice from current pakis there, do PM me and I will send you the fb links of Rootsian currently studying in WUSTL or NYUAD :D</p>

<p>Thank you so much ahtesham :smiley:
To be honest, I’m tipping towards NYUAD as well, because of the scholarship, amazing enviornment, diversity, small size of the batch. The only concern that I have is that its new. We still haven’t seen an NYUAD batch going out there so its still kind of an experiment. Given all that, the Sheikh’s are investing truckloads of money in to the university so they will make sure, to say the least, that their graduates have successful careers.
As for WUSTL, I got accepted at Olin which is one of the highest ranked business schools of the world with the fantastic average starting salary etc. so I will have the guarantee of a secure future (obviously given that I maintain a good GPA).
But the financial aid is a definite issue :/</p>

<p>Hahah. Quite a convincing case for NYUAD. Well @ahtesham, help me out and send me some links of Pakistanis at WUSTL (preferably Olin) !</p>

<p>@duresham3 You maybe don’t know i got rejected at NYUAD Early Decision 1 and i researched alot about NYUAD. Its totally amazing and there is no need to worry for future as NYU has one of the most notable Alumnis which definitely confirms that NYUAD would be a masterpiece as it is directly governed by New York Campus. If i were you, I would choose NYUAD over WUSTL due to an amazing aid package (two trips from home to NYUAD annualy :D) and due to its one of the most selective admission policy. I wish they accepted me ED1 but my essay and supplements were horrible ;)</p>

<p>@Maaz997 I know a girl who got in last year from Roots DHA 1 but don’t know in which school she attends currently. Check your PM i have sent you her profile ID.</p>

<p>Hi, guys.</p>

<p>Did anyone apply to Georegtown Qatar?</p>
