<p>^Some do. For ex, I know for sure that UPenn calls up each school to verify the applicant’s honesty. I haven’t been told if they did that for me yet though.
Also, universities can carry out random checks on any applicant in the pool. And if one is admitted on false credentials and is found out later(even after one graduates), entry to the US is permanently barred and the degree is taken away.</p>
<p>Use your school’s guidance counselor, if you don’t have one, then use your school principal.
Yes, you can submit just final reports every year, except class 12, where of course, you need 1st term or pre board (in case your first term exam result was not good enough and you think you could do better in pre boards…my case was the complete opposite lol, I knew my pre board result would never be better than my first term result haha, coz by then I’d have neglected cbse too much).
If you’re taking a gap yr, then also the same requirements apply, except you may submit just your 12th final report for 12th standard.
In either case, you have to submit reports from classes 9 to 12, no exceptions.
The school gives a transcript, or you can just photocopy the report card. Which school in bangalore? I think Bishop Cotton Boys gives a proper transcript.</p>
<p>Could I apply early decision for all the schools I am looking at. Considering I don’t have that much of a chance for undergrad… But just want to give it a shot. Considering looking at my %'s, 9th- 70%. 10th- 75%. 11th- 60%. 12th (expected)- 85-90+%.</p>
<p>You can only apply early decision to one college. It’s a binding thing, if you get in, you have to go.
No, it has to be either princy or counselor, not any old teacher.
Btw, generally when you apply abroad, your percentage drops from what you would have otherwise gotten, not shoots up. So if in general cases you would have gotten, say a 94% (in the sciences), you’d probably end up getting something lower, coz although we all start with thinking that we’ll be able to manage it both, truth is that the process is sooooo loooooonnnnnggg and time consuming that boards do get neglected to some extent. So unless you’re super at time management, or have been preparing for applications since like wayy before, your percentage is not going to go up, it’s going to come down! Although Boards syllabus becomes easy once you get the concepts, they do require time commitment to attain the perfection.</p>
The only exception is if you ask for financial aid but not enough is offered to support attendance, in which case you say “thanks but no thanks” and apply RD elsewhere.</p>
<p>this year 14 indian students were accepted. ie those living in India, not the expacts.
I read that in the dailypennsylvanian. can’t find the link though.</p>
<p>Cornell probably has like 25ish. all the others will take any where from 3(princeton) to 10 (brown). The question is to see hoe many attend.
There is no way to ascertain how many ask for 100% aid. For penn - From the ones who got in, i’d say maybe 2/14 are on any kind of aid. the rest pay full i guess. Thats just my estimate.</p>
<p>This year:
Harvard - 5 (accurate)
Princeton- 13 (accurate)
Yale- ~9
UPenn- 14 (accurate)
Brown- Well, they accepted 25 or so last yr, so I wouldn’t say ten…
Cornell- Dunno exact, but expect to find a mini DPS RKP army over there. I think it should be ~35 since there are sooo many dipsites already (so I’m estimating for the rest of the country)?</p>
<p>Btw, I got absolutely great FA from UPenn.
And also, if someone declines, then the waiting list people shall be taken off the list, so in essence wouldn’t it be the same number of people attending?</p>
<p>PS: Whoever who thinks a Harvard interview is a sure shot indicator of success for Indians is highly mistaken. I recently came to know that at least two other people were asked to interview from Delhi who didn’t get in. :eek:</p>
<p>@perfectpixie: Okay I am highly doubtful about the fact that ONLY 14 Indian students (the ones who stay in India that is) were accepted. The only reason why I am doubtful is because they accepted 13 students from UAE (11 of Indian origin, we Indians rock yes). So comparing statistics (if you need accurate numbers PM me) how is it possible that they accept an almost equal number of students from a country with a population of 5 million and a country with a population of 1.6 billion. Sorry for stupidifying the numbers, but all I am trying to say is surely there was a much higher number of students applying to Penn from India as compared to that of UAE (again contact me for further details). And if what you are saying is accurate, then the question is why would they accept a greater percentage of applicants from UAE as compared to India?</p>
<p>Oh and if any of you can find me a link I will be absolutely delighted! (I tried and failed but that’s probably just me being lazy )</p>
<p>Hey mynameisv: I thought chelsearox’s numbers would be accurate since he said that he read the article. I’m slightly doubtful too since Penn is a pretty large school and India is a feeder. I didn’t attend the dinners hosted so I’m afraid I cannot say anything with certainty…I can check if you’re really curious?
Btw this:
It’s more useful to see what fraction of each population applies abroad. From UAE almost like, half the students apply abroad
But idk, harvard accepted 5 from here (afaik) and accepted nine from kenya. I found that strange too. No one from the south (bangalore/chennai etc) or east (kolkata) has contacted the other admits yet, so we’re assuming it’s five…
Princeton’s numbers are accurate since I asked Alice Easton when I met her.</p>
<p>Pixie, interesting numbers. I have nt seen announcements before breaking down each country although I have seen countries represented. A friend from Bombay told me last year his kid got into Brown but went to Imperial college instead for a 4 or 5 year masters.</p>
<p>It is quite possible that lot of people from UAE come in at full pay vs India requiring full FA to Penn.</p>
<p>Last year of the 29 admitted from Brown 12 were admitted (yes 12 from 1 school) from Mahindra UWC (only one of them was Indian). At least a couple more americans from AES Delhi etc. So those numbers are more India admits than Indian admits.
I’m shocked at UPenn though I think they admitted 14 to your specific undergraduate school, their class from India is like 35-40 kids without a doubt. 14 to one school another 20-25 to the other schools.</p>
<p>^Yep, the numbers are misleading without excluding the non Indians. I know one non Indian was admitted from down south to Harvard…
Hey, but American citizens don’t fall in our pool at all. They’re considered with the regular american pool, so why’d they be counted for the India region?
I think you’re correct regarding UPenn. Without seeing the article we can’t be sure.</p>
<p>Btw, British school has sent no one to the Ivies for the past seven years. I dunno how good AES would be?</p>
I think it should be ~35 since there are sooo many dipsites already (so I’m estimating for the rest of the country)?</p>
