<p>himanshusahay has achieved everything .that’s why all universities have rejected him. son, go there and enjoy the university. you know everything but you don’t know one thing, never to demean others’ achievement. well. if universities saw this first, that one universities might rejected you for being an @$$*^%$</p>
<p>Just commenting to confirm that the schools you mentioned are by no means safeties I don’t think for anyone. Our Midwestern high school has never had anyone accepted to Notre Dame (in its 50 year history). My 2015 son was accepted to MIT with stats probably comparable to yours (bit higher in GPA and lower in SAT), but was waitlisted at both Northwestern and CMU. It’s a crapshoot. That’s all anyone can say. Had my son not gotten into MIT he would have gone to Minnesota. You’ll survive!</p>
<p>Just remember, as long as you have the will to continue and fight for the college that you wanna go, try and go for it! I know that you are down because you weren’t accepted in a college(s), if you still want to try getting into a different college, work hard and try to transfer. </p>
<p>With your grades too, I’m sure that you’ll have a bright future!</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
<p>@drexter believes he knows everything and can understand the world from his little perch wherever he stays. Once again, I have no words to say to someone like you.</p>
<p>@yunayui You’re right and I wasn’t necessarily referring to myself. I have an acceptance in the bag but there are some others who have not been so fortunate.</p>
<p>I think you’re now ready for WPI. Get excited and “stop yer whining”. </p>
<p>You really are lucky. Make the most of it.</p>

<p>I love it. An ‘American Bubble’ you’re angry you’re not accomplished enough to gain access to. </p>
<p>Run along ■■■■■, the rock you live under misses you.</p>
<p>@vinceh Do you even know what an ‘American bubble’ means? It means the closeted mindsets of people just like you, who cannot understand anything and are not fit to live or interact anywhere outside the United States.</p>
<p>And FYI, I will be attended university in the states this fall.</p>
<p>On our tax money, no less. You gotta love America.</p>
<p>It’s not out tax money.
The money for scholarships at private universities comes from their limited endowments.
Most public and private universities give little or no aid to internationals, and court them as full pays.</p>
<p>Right, not our tax money. Last time I looked those colleges are tax exempt, which means they do not have to pay for any services. I wish I was tax exempt.</p>
<p>Many countries charge internationals a lot higher college tuition than their domestic students. Why? Because internationals do not pay taxes.</p>

<p>As an American who lives and works abroad, I am deeply appalled by your arrogance and sense of entitlement. As a foreign national, I don’t get any special financial consideration by public institutions in any of the different counties around the world I have lived. And I certainly don’t go around bad-mouthing the locals. I seriously doubt India is willing to offer significant money to Americans who want to study there. </p>
<p>I suggest you get out of your bubble in Dubai and get some global perspective. You and your countrymen are not entitled to a free ride in universities in my country because you think you are the master race. There are plenty of qualified Americans who also sit home for a year or more because they couldn’t pay their way through. </p>
<p>If your race is so smart and if your Indian countrymen are so superior that they run the U.S. economy, then I suggest they get their dysfunctional country in order first before you start dissing us. A snapshot:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Ranks 94 out of 174 countries for corruption, puts it between Zambia & Tanzania (Transparency Int’l)</p></li>
<li><p>Ranks 126 out of 180 for GDP per capita (World Bank)</p></li>
<li><p>Ranks in Stage 1 economic development, in the same category as Haiti (World Economic Forum)</p></li>
<li><p>30% live below the international poverty line of 1.25 USD per day (UN Human Development Report), putting it between Senegal & Namibia</p></li>
<li><p>Ranks 144 out of 180 for infant mortality (United Nations)—and this doesn’t even include aborted female fetuses</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I’m an international who is seeking to get a chance to make the world a better place. I didn’t brag about my achievement before . He told that everything is so easy about american education. What is this? Why is he going to US?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL!!! Way to go, GMTplus7! I have lived abroad and have visited 69 countries on 6 continents. India is the most dysfunctional country I have ever seen. The only thing that the country has going for it is that the rich and connected can exploit labor to the maximum extent, with many happy to work for a mere bowl of rice and floor space indoors where they won’t get rained on while they sleep.</p>
<p>Straight As in IB are not good at all! That’s a 36, not including EE/tok…</p>
<p>If you’re aiming for competitive schools, you should be getting a majority of A*, which is at least a total score of 38/40.</p>
<p>I converted them in 4.0 scale (all colleges will calculate in this way). FYI all of them are 45/45. So, how about this? My bad that my phone doesn’t have a stars or anything.</p>
<p>Well said, GMTplus 7. I think I have found a new diet plan-- I need something to turn my stomach. That post to which you eloquently responded ought to do the trick.</p>
<p>It’s like someone who has been graciously invited to an elegant PRIVATE party berating the generous host for having the gall to serve them osetra caviar instead of beluga…</p>
<p>I will never understand the sense of entitlement some internationals have. The United States should NOT have to pay for the education of internationals who can pursue education in their own countries, and yet, they do it anyway! To any international reading this, yes, it sucks that it’s so competitive just because you weren’t born into a wealthy family, but be glad they’re even giving you the chance. Most countries don’t give a single penny to international students, so why should the States?
Can’t you understand that schools are being ridiculously generous in offering financial aid even to a limited amount of internationals?</p>
<p>himanshusahay, you were offered a great scholarship. Instead of dissing the country that’s about to finance a substancial part of your education, rejoice and remain grateful for the school and the country that are welcoming you and offering to give you an education many would kill for.</p>
<p>Preach, brother!</p>
<p>You had amazing stats…
I had a 3.93 out of 4.00 gpa, 2310 sat (one sitting), 10 AP courses, SAT II’s ranging from 700 to 760, two leadership positions, a fair amount of extracurriculars/recommendations/etc but didn’t get into like 90% of the schools I applied to. I’m pretty bummed that I didn’t get into my top choices and even some schools I thought were safeties for me. I think I can somewhat understand what you’re going through. But you know, I’m trying to cope with this disappointment… and even if you do go to a school that’s less than your aim, you’ll probably graduate with AMAZING grades. Then you can go on to like Harvard and stuff! 
Let’s keep our heads up and hope for the best. You can also earn some extra money by helping high schoolers with SAT and schoolwork since you’re obviously a great candidate for tutoring! Moms would love you haha. Good luck with everything.</p>
