<p>Pixie, do not ditch Harvard for Woody Woo. P’s just doing this to boost their disastrous yield numbers (lowest in HYPS, by far).</p>
<p>Maxxwell, Qatar’s the good part of the Indian Subcontinent.</p>
<p>Just got rejected by UMichigan Ann Harbor’s Engineering school. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO??Does anyone know a high cliff/ tall building in the neighborhood? (■■■■■ FACE)</p>
<p>Pixie - go to Harvard.</p>
<p>Maxxwell, ooh, did you know that’s one of my favorite poems??
We had it in 9th standard in school.</p>
<p>This was just a weak moment, but when 10 minutes later, I found that it wasn’t enough to make me change my decision, I was sure that I had made the right choice. I chose harvard before that announcement was made, and I’m ecstatic with my choice. 
Harvard just is a better fit. Two fundamental things about Princeton I disliked too much to be ignored: Eating club culture and Grade Deflation policy. I didn’t want eating clubs to be such a dominant part of social life at college. While I realize that eating clubs aren’t as exclusive as they were before, I am certain that they must lead to segregation within the student body. Grade deflation isn’t good for grad school chances anyway (had they changed the grade deflation policy, I would have found it harder). I also like Harvard’s housing system better. It took me a long time to get over my prejudice against Harvard (because everyone just seemed to assume that I’m going to choose it, and the prestige factor was the last reason I wanted to take harvard), but I’m glad I was finally able to look at things fairly. I made a list of the pros and cons to be 100% sure, and really the Harvard pros list was twice longer than princeton’s. That made it clear. 
Woody Woo’s counterpart in Harvard is an interdisciplinary, selective major called Social Studies. I really liked this speech too: <a href=“Office of the President | Office of the President”>Office of the President | Office of the President;
<p>Are you planning to be president of Penn someday?</p>
<p>You’re right Maxxwell, now that I go back and check. Congrats on your decision Pixie! I am still thinking of HKU in my weak moments. Don’t want to leave home and all that. @mynameisev, I’m the same boat. There are plenty of tall buildings where I come from. 
Dw, have fun at Penn! :D</p>
<p>puttu, did u take HL history?</p>
<p>Nope! Taking HL physics and it’s KILLING me!! HL physics and english.</p>
<p>@pixie- You do IB?</p>
<p>^ she is done with school. only the little ones are doing IB.</p>
<p>The little ones are prone to distraction. :p</p>
<p>@everyone who asked, my hometown is beautiful Coimbatore I have visited some parts of Kerala and I studied LKG and UKG in chennai though before I moved to Singapore :)</p>
<p>Little ones? I stand 6 feet tall :P</p>
<p>^ wow! you are very tall.
Little did I know that associating with words would result in a much bigger distraction. 
Advice taken. bye <em>starts on an indefinite hike</em> :)</p>
<p>lmao. Nishad, trust me, tallness does not disqualify one from being little. ;)</p>
<p>Tippu: Awesome. Ambivalent is the word. :)</p>
<p>Now that we have all got in whats the to do plan??
Can you guys post a check list or smtn?? I just want to reconfirm.
I’m going to Jaipur soon and its ****ing impossible to do anything from there.</p>
<p>@Pixie-I know that. So what?</p>
<p>^Really? You don’t know what you are talking about.</p>
<p>Agree with Karan, making a list would be really useful. Perhaps we could do it on another thread.</p>
<p>@Pixie- I’m confused? Was that an attempt to belittle IB students (and me) or what? I am unable to comprehend what’s going on…</p>
