<p>Thanks sora. 
GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Okay stop gappy you’re scaring others. </p>
<p>Yeah, GB, they’ll only see your two highest scores. I mean they’ll choose to see those. Thank god only harvard will see my math 2 score, which while ok, is not at all good compared to CC.</p>
<p>I can’t wait for this Friday. I think I’ll be done with FA apps by then.</p>
<p>2 Highest scores thing is the reason I’m only panicking a little. Only Harvard’s going to see my worst score. As long as Amherst and Brown don’t…(Yes, tetris, it is now AmherstandBrown instead of just Amherst. ) And GB, no it’s not necessary. Except for annelida and arthropod, those are the important ones.</p>
<p>I’m going to hate Sparknotes after today.</p>
<p>I can’t wait till this time tomorrow!</p>
<p>No me neither! Except when I’ve messed up. Then I want another day to study. </p>
<p>If any of you guys has seen Dragonball Z when you were a kid, you must know about the hyperbolic timechamber. Don’t you just dream about hyperbolic timechambers when you’re on a deadline? </p>
<p>Thanks for the important phyla’s btw! Is Sparknotes any good? If you want, I still have my summary thing, although not really finished yet, it is basically all the info in PR, but then in incoherent sentences hahaha! If you want it, Ill send it to you in an hour or so!</p>
<p>Yay AmherstandBrown! :D</p>
<p>ZOMG I LOVE BONES TOO. I’m loading the latest episode as I type!</p>
<p>hahhah, hurrah for BONES-lovers.
booth and bones’ chemistry puts mulder and scully’s or whatever their names are to SHAAAME i say.
gapyear, you make me feel better. =]
so if i have a HORRENDOUS maths2 score, but okay lit and maths1, its the latter two they’ll look at, right? WHEEEW.
damn thou, harvard, to the blackest, burning-est depths of HELLL.
ahhah, guilty, it’d be nice if i knew the material, but the aussie syllabus is really weird. i mean, we learn calculus and differentiation and integration waay back in year11/early12, but we dont learn about matrices AT ALL. and i didnt do 4U maths so iunno about ellipses and vectors either. DADADUMMMM.
meh. not fussed if harvard rejects me:
*goes off to sleep whistling, will still be whistling when walking into exam room to dirty glared from over-hyped test-sitters :)</p>
<p>Mulder and Scully were X-Files, right? I never really got into that show.</p>
<p>Seriously, no matrices? Matrices are crappy though.</p>
<p>^neither did i, but we had to watch an ep for our sci-fi elective in extension english. it was weird seeing duchovny? so young.
yeah, no matrices…
i really should go sleep. exam starts in… 7.5 hours. LOL.</p>
<p>GB, nah, I’m good. I decided not to do any more Bio. I mean, WHATEVER.</p>
<p>Sparknotes is good, yeah, but I’d recommend sticking to PR at this stage.</p>
<p>Matrices were probably the only thing that I got correct on my math exam yesterday…</p>
<p>depauw and wooster seem to have accepted a whole lot of Indians this year…or is it a normal thing…i don’t want to sound racist, but I’m not too hot for colleges which are filled with Indians…it will be school all over again…does anybody have similar worries?</p>
<p>Hahaha, good luck all! You fat little dendrites. </p>
<p>anyway, yeah same here Sora! I learn integration and calculus in 10th/11th and all the really simple things we’ve never even covered. So now I still have to learn how to combine ranges of two functions, but I do now how to do partial integration. Nice. </p>
<p>X-files are ridiculous.</p>
<p>At least you’re in SOMEWHERE, cheese. Although I admit the Indian thing might’ve been one of the reasons I didn’t apply to Wooster :p…everyone at school seemed to be applying.</p>
<p>Your entire second paragraph was lost on me, kittykat!</p>
<p>@bigcheese : I completely understand. I mean I have friends in UW-Seattle, U melbourne (Aus) and many other places and they ONLY hang out with asians. I mean, its good that you have your comfort zone but I feel like I’d rather branch out and get to know other people. That’s why I ruled out any school from my list that said minorities tended to self-segregate.</p>
<p>Are y’all planning to stay up the whole night? The SAT takers?</p>
<p>QuasiGirl: haha, yeah well, it is somewhat lost on me too. </p>
<p>I still find it curious how many people apply to the US from your schools. How are the universities in India? I only know about the sacred IIT (?!)…</p>
<p>EDIT: I want to pull an allnighter, but I am not really sure how smart that is… It is only 14:42 here though! </p>
<p>EDIT II: When I visited UMASS-Amherst, I saw a lot of South-Asian students too, like, 50, together. I am not sure however, if they were all internationals or not. But indeed, internationals seem to have the tendency to stick together and don’t make friends with domestic students.</p>
<p>gappy: Same here.</p>
<p>And I’ll be up till 3, anyway.</p>
<p>Edit: Unis are great, some of them are amazing, but they’re not liberal arts. You focus on one subject, and you get in based on one thing: your ISC (final exam) or some kind of entrance exam. IITs, of course, are purely science.</p>
<p>Edit II: Plus Indian unis don’t have that much diversity. I want to make friends with Americans and Croatians and Nigerians and OF COURSE Russians in college!</p>
<p>Yeah same here, universities don’t offer liberal arts programs, and every one with a college prepatory degree (We go to separate schools pretty much, only 2 percent of the students) get to go to university regardless of their grades. That is why pretty much everyone slacks off and graduates with a 60 percent average. Universities are pretty good though; ranked around 60 in the world usually.</p>
<p>EDIT: Russians! Yes! But no Dutch students 
Meeeeeh.</p>
<p>You’re all the Dutch I need, my little candy bar. :p</p>
<p>Hahahaha! Lets send post pigeons if we end up going to other colleges (most likely you to Amherst, I to ubersafety)</p>
<p>Yeah. Unis here are like oh, you finish pre-u, choose what you want to do for the rest 35 years of your life. Choose. Choose! </p>
<p>What if I can’t??? Ah, I mean most people here have an idea, some end up choosing a course their parents would like them to do, some just follow their friends. My mom says it all works out in the end, people learn to like what they do, but I don’t entirely buy that. </p>
<p>Then again, job dissatisfaction in US is like 80% or something, so maybe their education is not that awesome either. I think its awesome though.</p>
<p>You know Quasi, i had no idea that there would be sooo much of Wooster love at our school…especially when you hear about people applying only to the top 5 universities from the US News rankings…and wooster has made my acceptance seem like pittens after they accepted another guy from my school with the same aid package…and get this- the guy had a 1600 SAT score and he doesnt even need the aid, nor did he apply for it (his dad has so much of money that he got the choice of getting a Merc or a BMW for his 18th birthday)</p>
<p>Yeah, but those 80 percent are probably mainly people who probably work in fast rood restaurants or do manual work etc. On the one hand, the US is amazing, on the other hand, it isn’t really to meritocratic on the lower spectrum of society.</p>
