<p>wat is this?! people from india are taking over the world! haha i didnt know pton was so popular there</p>
<p>lol
do Indians in India compete against Indian-Americans here?</p>
<p>I have no clue.but I do regard Indian Americans as Americans
and remember shrek,whenever there r 6 of us,any thread can turn into a lounge
also,only the brightest from India apply abroad,so when they do,they tend to apply to all the tyop universities</p>
<p>From the little snipets of conversation I’ve seen, it seems like the schools in India are very rigorous. Is this true of only some schools (where the top students/applicants come from) or all?</p>
<p>believe me zant,they r way way too rigorous
I’ll tell u what,search for IITJEE previous years papers on google and u ll get a rough idea of what engineering aspirants have to study</p>
<p>but I suppose most schools in India dont have so many ec opportunities as in the US</p>
<p>of the 61 on that list, i say 21 will get in</p>
<p>I say more. Close to 30.</p>
<p>you think up to 50%? wow…that’s a little bit too much i think …</p>
<p>It was about 50% last year on the CC boards, I believe. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong.) You have to realize that in most cases the individuals who post on CC are the cream of the cream of the crop.</p>
<p>lol 21 is so specific. I say 25.
But yea I agree, CCers are more qualified than the general pool and it seemed pretty good last year.</p>
<p>I’ll say 29. ;-)</p>
<p>would it be too optimistic of me to say that 40 of us will get in?</p>
<p>cuz thats sincerely what i believe (ready to put money on it) ;)</p>
<p>40/61? That is pretty high… I’d say 30ish, assuming the general ED rate is about 29% (which I think was the estimate people made from the # of ED applicants). CCers are “the cream of the cream of the crop,” so I’d say the acceptance rate would be near 50%, maybe a little bit higher.</p>
<p>Does anyone else think this is so pointless? </p>
<p>Almost 25 days~ We’ll see then.</p>
<p>Very close. My friends who applied ED to Penn are starting to get nervous. I’m still like, “I have plenty of time.” Ha! Yeah right…</p>
<p>Let’s pretend like we’re on ‘Price is Right’: highest guess without going over the actual number wins…something. I’m going to guess 32. Well, maybe, if everyone reports, and they might not. We don’t know how many of the 60 or so applicants will report back.</p>
<p>I don’t know…50% seems too high to me</p>
<p>I don’t doubt that all the accepted people will report here :)</p>
<p>Yeah quite a few from my batch went to DPS rkp (i finished my schooling this year). I’m from Don Bosco Academy, Patna. Perhaps you know Shreyash or Yashashwi (your seniors probably, if you’re in 12th now.)</p>
<p>A lot of those 60 people are NEVER here though. We can make a list of people who’ll promise to report back…</p>
<p>(still think this is pointless, but a good way to waste 25 days I suppose)</p>
