<p>me a member too> how are you guys?</p>
<p>OK then, hey bored squad :p.</p>
<p>Shreya, it’s been a while! How are you these days?</p>
<p>i wish i could go to college now and come back 3 months later but alas- that can’t be. i am falling more and more in love with my college.</p>
<p>how are you? busy with school and stuff? huh</p>
<p>Oh, I’d be raring to go if I was gonna attend Carleton as well! :D</p>
<p>Yep, I’m busy out here. I have soccer practice twice a week, tennis about 5 days a week, exams are going on, MUN preparations will begin soon, and I have another environmental thingy coming up.</p>
<p>But, to plagiarize from McDonalds, I’m loving it! (it=everything except exams :D)</p>
<p>wow you are one busy person- regarding Carleton- i sure hope that you have Carleton on your college list- its seriously amazing how much the college cares about its students- i haven’t even reached there and i feel it- especially international students- since its such a small student body - every student is very important to them - plus they send Brilliant fedexes once you get in.
They have like these four fedex that they mail you from when you get accepted to when you go to college- and its one of my life’s high_est points opening them.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I will definitely apply to Carleton :)</p>
<p>people!!! the thread was on the 3rd page…
Had my visa interview today 
I had to wait for about 2 hours before my name finally was called…but the “interview” was pretty sweet:</p>
<p>Consular: So Mr. Rister, why do you want to go to the US?
Rister: To study.
Consular: [skimming through my forms] Where do you want to study?
Rister: Univ…
Consular: Ah, here it is…UPenn! Lucky you!
Rister: Thank you
Consular: Tell me something about your program.
Rister: It’s a dual-degree program! I’ll get two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from Penn’s College of Arts and Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Wharton.
Consular: That sounds terrific. Of course I approve your visa, good luck with your studies.
Rister: Thank you very much.</p>
<p>=D</p>
<p>Awesome! :)</p>
<p>gr8 rister. congrats…IS degree from Upenn and Business degree from Wharton!!! who could possibly reject such an applicant.</p>
<p>My interview was a similar one. I forgot the exact sequence of events, but these questions stand out:
1.Which college are you going to?
2.You got 51,000 dollar scholarship?
3. Wow! Is this your SAT score? Wow!</p>
<p>Of course, these were the only questions I was asked.</p>
