<p>Hello, I’m new on this thread.
So, I don’t really want to read the 26 pages before this, but has anyone here been accepted to Columbia? I’m trying to make a few acquaintances.</p>
<p>Hi crossbow, I got waitlisted, not that that counts. Did you get in? Wow! :)</p>
<p>By the way, guys, is there a shortcut method in which we could all add each other on fb? I’ll honestly love you all forever for the comfort/commiserations and finally congratulations.</p>
<p>Waitlisted by Columbia here too! I so want to get in. </p>
<p>tiyas42, are you going to submit a supplementary statement to them? They say it’s “strongly recommended” if your interest in Columbia is high.</p>
<p>crossbow, I got into Columbia! :)</p>
<p>Hey, I have got admission in Umich, Ann Arbor and RPI, Troy. Which one is better for Aeronautical and Aerospace engineering ?</p>
<p><em>Farewell to ani</em></p>
<p>I’m sure every new generation of CC users from the sub-continent as well as the whole CC family from around the world would love to see some more aniruddhs in the coming future! Good luck with Carnegie Mellon! 
</p>
<p>Pixie is going to Havard/Princeton, Ani to Mellon, compsci is yet to decide…What about Sultan and chelsea??</p>
<p>@confidential:</p>
<p>Sultan - Caltech
Chelsea - UPenn MnT
Violator - Brown
debarghya - cornell
collegebeckons - harvard (?)
mysticgohan - caltech/cambridge
desperado - yale
pixie - Harvard/Pton
aniruddh - CMU
mynameisv - Penn
itsmylife - ???
me - undecided for now</p>
<p>TippuSultan’s not choosing Caltech over UChicago. UChicago FTW!</p>
<p>I think IML is going to UCLA.</p>
<p>@confidential, ani’s still on here somewhere. He’s too jobless to not be. ;)</p>
<p>Collegebeckons, AMAZING, just amazing. 
And Tiyas, Columbia waitlist from India? I totally understand what you mean by saying that you’re happy with the w/l. Congrats on that Cornell acceptance btw!</p>
<p>@IML: UCLA ?
Nice tippu. How awesomely well-rounded do you have to be to get into both UChic and Caltech !</p>
<p>hi :)</p>
<p>I’m new, I just joined, but I’ve read through some of the threads. </p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in! =D That’s amazing. We Indians are really doing a great job!</p>
<p>I got into Stanford, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth, and currently I’m debating between the former two. Any suggestions? </p>
<p>Also, is there anyone else from these schools here? I’d love to make a few new friends. </p>
<p>Thanks for creating this thread!</p>
<p>Hey itachis,
Congratss (wow those are some acceptances).
Can you PM me your stats and your school?
mynameisv</p>
<p>Hi itachis! congratulations! you have got great achievements!
I am a 2016er, so i will be applying in october 2011. I am interested in the stanford and MIT. So, i would also like to know your stats. it would help me next year. Would you please PM me?</p>
<p>@JustASenior: Are you attending Columbia? And which city are you from?</p>
<p>Is there anyone out there (from India) who is attending Columbia? Looking for acquaintances.</p>
<p>^JustASenior is attending and is of Indian descent, but doesn’t live in India.</p>
<p>I know that a girl from Delhi got into Columbia but I’m not sure if she’s attending coz she got into a lot of good schools.</p>
<p>Accepted:
UT Austin
UIUC
Georgia Tech
Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>CBSE student (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, English Core), with very limited extracurriculars since I was preparing hard for IITJEE. JEE prep had an adverse effect on my marks too. But now I decided not to write JEE, even though I received the hall ticket and stuff.</p>
<p>Unsure where to enroll, but it won’t be UT Austin.</p>
<p>After reading a few results, I realised that there are a lot more Indians than I thought who are planning to do their undergrad in the US. And many of us have got into great colleges. Jai Hind!</p>
<p>CMU is a no-brainer</p>
<p>^ Assuming that cost is NOT a factor</p>
<p>Dude it is worth the premium. The average ECE grad comes out with a 75k job. The average CS grad comes out with 85k. That’s for 2010. Check out 2006. Now think as to how much the salaries will increase in 4 years. Anyway that’s not the point. CMU is on par with Cornell (the “engg ivy”) in every single aspect. The only other college he could consider is GT because that’s also a very good school. UIUC and Austin should be out.</p>
<p>But then again you will find immense success at any of those schools!</p>
