<p>You’re making me cringe.</p>
<p>Get a life, please. For you to have to say that is a constant reminder to yourself and everyone else of your own inadequacies.</p>
<p>Good luck with Goldman.</p>
<p>Geez, some people can’t take a little levity. I don’t even want Goldman, or IB.</p>
<p>Well, it started to sound like you were being serious… </p>
<p>Meanwhile, how do you know so much about Aussie Big Brother? :P</p>
<p>I don’t. I just saw a couple of webcams on it and I was surprised that the Aussies were just chilling out and not calling each other out/being ****ed off at each other.</p>
<p>That’s Big Brother America for ya.</p>
<p>It’s also my dilemma…Why do people in Australia have to face such dilemma?</p>
<p>I’ve met a dentist who actually graduated from Harvard University (imagine how much he had to pay if he didn’t get scholarship) and now he’s just an ordinary dentist…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Uh…I hate to burst your bubble, but this kind of situation happens most of the time. Did you expect most Harvard graduates to become dictators of Micronesia?</p>

<p>~~It’s glad to meet an Australian in this forum…</p>
<p>Hope you’re aware that Australians can apply for the E-3 visa, which has a separate quota of 10,500 for Australians only. That visa can be renewed indefinitely; however, it is a non-immigrant visa–it isn’t dual intent.</p>
<p>btw…</p>
<p>COLUMBIA COLUMBIA COLUMBIA!</p>
<p>c’mon, NYC, BROADWAY, NY-PIZZA, PASTRAMI ON RYE…</p>
<p>SEINFELD!</p>
<p>once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m assuming you got financial aid, yes?</p>
<p>Are you Aussie, hoeman?</p>
<p>Yeah, I know… I got good finaid… still expensive though!</p>
<p>nope, i’m not aussie.</p>
<p>i still think columbia’s a good opportunity. don’t pass up on it.</p>
<p>I suppose expenses in NY are quite high (it’s estimated that it’s four times of Melbourne…Spend ten dollars on a bottle of water…scary…)</p>
<p>But it’s certainly a great opportunity to explore the world and live in the world’s most charming city. </p>
<p>vesalvay: are u in Sydney or Melbourne or other cities? I suppose if you live in Syndey, NY will be a great destination…</p>
<p>havent checked back in this forum for a while so i think i’m posting a bit late, but yeah whatever. lol</p>
<p>my advice would be to go for Columbia. especially if you’ve got good aid and since it’s no doubt way different than colleges in Australia, besides, you said yourself you’re a bit lukewarm on the dentistry thing…but i guess it all depends on where you want to be in the next 5 or 10 years, like if you wanted to go back to aussie for work or stay in the states or something.</p>
<p>both my parents took up their masters degree at NYU and because my mom got really good grades and such, she got headhunted right after she graduated. the company that hired her took care of all the visa and residency stuff that usually take such a hassle. even for my dad and my sisters. aside from that, my mom was earning like 6 figures.</p>
<p>point of that semi-long blarble is, sometimes graduating from an ivy school isnt all that. harvard, yale or whatever isnt what you’re going to be known for for the rest of your life anyway. if you push yourself to be the best and you dont settle for being mediocre i’m sure you wont be like that harvard guy who’s “just a dentist”.</p>
<p>hope this helped someway 
(congratulate yourself, you actually got me to start thinking past what i’m going to eat for lunch. lol)</p>
