<p>i wanted to start a south asian thread for those applying to pton either for ED/RD…lets get to know eachother and be able to talk about issues that we face in the admissions process that is unique to us only…!!!
To begin the thread : Im from india( kolkata to be precise).lol</p>
<p>Indian from New Delhi here. So… are you applying ED or RD?</p>
<p>I am Pakistani-American, from Virginia :)</p>
<p>im applying RD and u annandale?
anymore ppl…dont we have anymore …last time there was a big joint south asian family appying to pton…:P</p>
<p>which skool gautam? dps?</p>
<p>Polish here, but not international.</p>
<p>i have applied ED…find out my fate in couple of days!</p>
<p>do you think we will be competing against each other or are the internationals and domestics kept seperate?</p>
<p>i mean it would be sick if they pile people up according to race and try to get a percentage of people from each…there is a lot more to a person than his skin color.</p>
<p>yeah exactly annandale. But somehow that inherent bias like “hey this kid is a norwegian…wait but he’s just a norwegian CITIZEN…he’s ethnically indian” might play a role although they might call me norwegian for stats reasons. Just something that might work psychologically.</p>
<p>Indian-Chinese/Indonesian. Do I belong here?</p>
<p>Wonder what they’ll call me?</p>
<p>unique .</p>
<p>bloody hope so, but with my like they’ll go: “EEWWWWWWWW Indian and Chinese! Double negative!”</p>
<p>No, Mother’s International… you heard of it?</p>
<p>Add me to the list… Applying ED… Indian origin… Don’t live in India though but 100% “pukka” Indian…</p>
<p>Live in the Middle East…</p>
<p>south-east asia. can i join?</p>
<p>not applying to princeton, i still have like a year more to go!</p>
<p>I’m Indian-American from MA. I was born in New Delhi, but I’ve been living here for 7 years.</p>
<p>I’m a Chinese-born Canadian citizen living in NJ</p>
<p>all are welcome to join</p>
<p>but just curious…what exactly is S. Asia?</p>
<p>I thought it was Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bhutan (like the SAARC). I think mostly people think of Pakistanis and Indians as “desis” and then Bengalis and Afghanis (they have a slightly different culture and language), and then the rest…</p>
<p>but then again, ALL are welcomed :)</p>
