<p>Its fine. Its just that you go over board with your opinions and ‘help’. </p>
<p>And could you elaborate on that internship you are doing?? I don’t mean it in a ‘I don’t believe this kid!’ way but I want to know how you landed one?? Was it through contacts or academic achievement. I’m curious because I’m interning at an investment firm as a clerk (for lack of a better explanation). My boss said I was too young to do what 4th year and graduate students do. SO I just pick calls, fetch coffee and watch older college students work as junior consultants. Are you doing anything more significant (again I mean this in a curious way) ??</p>
<p>PD, you ARE very helpful and I’m pretty sure that you didn’t mean to come across the way you sounded, so its okay. I’m sorry for getting so offensive but try not criticizing the colleges that people are investing thousands of dollars in + hard work + mind, body and soul for going to… I hope you get what I mean… Just be a little more… for lack of a better word… diplomatic?</p>
<p>CC’s India forum is amazing, I must say. I mean take a look at all the usernames’ locations!</p>
<p>Stanford
Penn
Harvard
CMU
Georgia Tech
University of Chicago
Cornell</p>
<p>WOW</p>
<p>^^Yeah, he generally doesn’t mean to come off as offensive I think and is generally quite earnest about what he posts but unfortunately almost always comes off like that. You said it, diplomatic is the word. 
What’s required is a little respect for others’ opinions and ability to acknowledge another’s viewpointt.
All in all, whatever it is, he’s still our spoiled arrogant Etonian brat 
and we wouldn’t exchange him for anything (except a more diplomatic one maybe :p). </p>
<p>Chelsea, you’re sort of right, even in delhi you can’t intern as a pre frosh doing something substantial, unless contacts get a position “created” for you.</p>
<p>Its soo stupid!!
I’m smarter than half the guys over their and still all I’m allowed to do is watch.
BS</p>
<p>Only salvation is the value addition to my resume’.</p>
<p>@Aniruddh: Who’s going to Georgia ?</p>
<p>And whatever happened to itsmylife … ? and another frequent poster whose name I don’t remember …</p>
<p>^who do you mean compscifan? Tippu? Anyway my location is not on Ani’s list but I am so excited because in ten days my location is going to be … INDIA!!</p>
<p>@Puttu, No, not Tippu . How could I forget Tippu’s name …</p>
<p>Yes, yes he’s quite unforgettable. Hmm…well nemo is busy with exams and studying like a good student unlike me 
so…still trying to think of other people</p>
<p>^ do i count as a frequent poster? :P</p>
<p>So I decided that I should probably finally get to work with college stuff, and started with the most important job: making a clothing list.
Well seriously, can you see me getting excited about bed sheets or whatever? </p>
<p>Anyway, it’s so much fun making a clothing list, nemo and puttu, you girls should try it (Notice I didn’t recommend it to the guys…well it’s not like you poor souls have much to plan:p, seriously, the only reason I’ve ever wanted to be a guy is to wear one of those yummy tuxedos ;))</p>
<p>I never thought I’d say this, but I actually feel exhausted just looking at the list. Damn, that’s not shopping I’m going to have to do, it’s work! And it doesn’t even end here!</p>
<p>Are you guys started with I-20s and stuff? Any Visa interviews scheduled already?</p>
<p>This phaze is called
“Time rip off your dad before you get him bankrupt”</p>
<p>Things to buy
- MacBook
- Small TV
- Awesome Cell Phone
- Designer jackets cuz its frechin cold
- Misc clothes
- PS3 US games enabler chip
- College Guide Books
Total = approx $ 3000</p>
<p>I requested the I-20
It’ll come by the end of the month.</p>
<p>Also I checked the Dubai Interview site there is 3 month waiting period. AKA I’ll probably try to get it in India.
U started, Pixie??</p>
<p>^Lol. :rolleyes:
Why would you want a TV? Where’s the time? :S
I think I shall end up spending more on clothes than on any electronics, but that’s just me. :p</p>
<p>What a lovely detailed list. I can post my list too, but it’s much longer than yours dattebayo.
And it’s mainly a clothing list.</p>
<p>Well, my I-20s been submitted (whatever that means) according to the lady in charge, but due to some reason I won’t get it till early-mid June. So I’ve decided to have my interview in July coz there’s no way I’ll be in delhi in late jun.
Oh yes, definitely try getting it from India then! We can schedule an interview whenever we want here.</p>
<p>Just a piece of advice, I am sure most of of you must be thinking on those lines.</p>
<p>Just carry basic clothes and a couple of pair of shoes from here, one cabin baggage and one check-in.</p>
<p>One will need to physically check out their dorms to asses closet and storage space</p>
<p>Difficult to lug around heavy luggage.</p>
<p>One would want to wear what is in vogue and matches the weather too. </p>
<p>For winter come November there will be sale on almost on everything and one can find really good bargains.</p>
<p>Also the electronic stuff should be from the local store just in case after sales service is required.</p>
<p>The linen is available as per the dorms bed size and the stores like Bed Bath and Beyond even ship it to your locations.</p>
<p>What’s the PS3 US games enabler chip 
?!</p>
<p>See sony are a bunch of money hungry ****** bags so they made separate consoles for each continent. So the game companies had to make different versions of the game for each continent. Our PS3s are Asian ones so Games bought in USA will not work in it. And games bought in Asia will not work in American PS3s.
SO you have to add this american chip to your ps3 to make games bought in USA work in it along with the Asian games.</p>
<p>I got my PS3 from the USA only 
:p</p>
<p>where do you buy games from??</p>
<p>^ Can you share a link chelsea, to back that claim ? And where will I get this chip from ?</p>
<p>EDIT: Yo, Most links that I am reading suggest there’d be no problems whatsoever. PS3 game are NOT region protected. </p>
<p>Think of it, Why would they limit their own market …</p>
<p>Really??
I’m heard about this from youtube. I just believed it.
Ill try and recheck.</p>
