<p>lol…youre insane</p>
<p>don’t worry about GPAs if you’re school doesn’t have a system like that. most english medium schools in dhaka don’t 
transcripts are enough.</p>
<p>lol, i’m actually depending on my projected grades coz if i ace this semester, they’ll be pretty good too… but i’m just being wayyy too positive… human nature, lol XD</p>
<p>@deadbent - yea, i’m from the school wayyy over in baridhara XD</p>
<p>@ deadbent: been called that a lot of times LOL :P</p>
<p>How are you guys going with the applications? I seem to have mastered the ancient art of procrastination.</p>
<p>I am suffering from senioritis and writers block
Was looking forward to seeing the essay topics but now cant seem to think what to write :/</p>
<p>Eid Mubarak you guys :D</p>
<p>Eid Mubarak everyone :D</p>
<p>Yello!
Nice to see a bangladeshi thread.
I am giving my A Levels(CIE)
Subjects(predicted scores):
Phys(A* , got a 100 in AS)
Chem(A<em>)
Math(A</em>)
Further Maths(A*)
AICT(A; hate it! wanted to take computing but got stuck with this since school doesnt have competent A Level Computing teachers)</p>
<p>SAT Reasoning-will give(1st time) in Nov
SAT Subject-Oct</p>
<p>My transcript sucks since I procrastinate, (@DarthSpawnus, amen brother/sister, sex? pretty sure its male since procrastination doesn’t seem to apply to the females of our species) and leave everything for the last month, my predicted grades for AS was, (phys=B,chem=C,math=A,aict=A) well you get the point.</p>
<p>ECA’s have depth and I guess alright when it comes to breadth, got a few hooks ;)</p>
<p>Expecting Good Recommendations.</p>
<p>Hopefully essays will give the admission officer some appreciable mindgasms, just need to sit down and get to it.</p>
<p>Oh hot damn …you got some amazing stats there…</p>
<p>Looks like we have a tough contender here
LOL :D</p>
<p>Welcome deATh72WARrant
Oh and I am a he …no girl would procrastinate or be crazy to have darth spawnus as a user id ;)</p>

Im not that good, my transcript which should be a good measure(apparently) of how well I perform in class is the biggest flaw in my app.</p>
<p>Really I have been getting around 65-80% from Grade 9-11, though my marks increase from 1st term to 4th then drops at the next academic year. My avg has been increase year-wise and this year i’ll just have to shift gears so the mid-year report is good.
Hopefully my SAT results would make up for everything else, havent really started practice but as with everything else, ill get there.</p>
<p>Also where’s your test center, giving SAT(R) in Nov right?
Mines in Notre Dame(yeah i kno)</p>
<p>wow. deATh72WARrant. seems like you got it all. do you have any idea where you are going to apply?</p>
<p>Dream: Stanford
Pros:My kinda place
Cons:Fin Aid isn’t as good as i need it to be.</p>
<p>I was also researching into Franklin W. Olin School of Engineering but it offers zero Fin Aid to international students.</p>
<p>Not sure for the rest, got some LAC’s in mind as-well as schools with good programs but with high acceptance rates. </p>
<p>I sorta think that the most important part in the App is the college list(since everyone has a “match” school(s) in the US irrespective of other app components). So I am still trying to get it right, now worrying that i am over thinking it.</p>
<p>Anyone applying SCEA, I want to try Princeton or a Competitive college as an experiment, since the decision will be given mid-December and so in time for my other apps, it will allow me to screen my list for possible matches/reach.</p>
<p>Notredame is cool dont worry everyone more or less gives SAT over there
I will retake SAT in Oct 1</p>
<p>Got only 24 days :/</p>
<p>@ death72warrant Why dont you apply to Cornell and Duke?
Take a shot man …the mistake would be to not apply.</p>
<p>Oh and death72warrant I dont think I will apply EA/ED any where</p>
<p>Best of luck applying to Princeton :)</p>
<p>@DarthSpawnus
I actually met a bangladeshi who got in Cornell last year. He could hardly speak English, It was just weird, I mean he was from an English medium school(OIS)!
Oh yeah, if its any help he got a 2180 in his SAT but apart from that he definitely wasn’t an impressive guy.
I also had a neighbor who went to Princeton, got 6A’s(CIE A Lvls), he was in Scholastica here and I think was the top student in his class. Forgot his SAT Scores.</p>
<p>I was thinking of Cornell, not sure bout Duke.
Yeah I would apply to every uni in the world if someone would take care of the app fee ;)</p>
<p>Oh I think I know both of them</p>
<p>OIS guy got into Duke because thats what I heard…someone from OIS got into Duke Dartmouth and Cornell…he is in Duke now I think</p>
<p>And the Scholastican is in Princeton Class of 2013 I think. I know him through debating</p>
<p>I suggest you pay the fees of some universities and apply for fee waivers for the rest.</p>
<p>What about college interviews? When are you guys having them… i have absolutely no clue about them. What is the protocol for getting one, and how many unis have interviews in dhaka?
I know for a fact that Princeton has interviews, so when are you, deATh72WARrant, getting an interview?</p>
<p>Afaik Princeton calls you for interview…same applies for Harvard and Columbia
Only MIT interview has to be scheduled beforehand …thats what it says in their website</p>
<p>I dont think there are that many alumnus in BD so interviews are not that of a big deal</p>
