The Bangladeshi Thread

<p>why? was it hard?
SAT wasn’t a picnic as well man :(</p>

<p>One exam was really bad, the other was okay i guess.</p>

<p>Hey i dont know mych about SAT IIs except that everyone I know who got into top colleges had 800s. Does anyone know what is the minimum score one can get without seriously harming one’s chances?</p>

<p>For Maths IIC 770+
For other subjects 700-750 are good enough.</p>

<p>Who’s giving what on nov 19?</p>

<p>hello everyone! It’s great to see a bangladeshi thread in here. </p>

<p>I’m planning to apply for premed with bio/physics as a major? Any ideas? I’ve fixed the safeties but am confused about which top-notch schools to apply to(i wanna apply to about 4-5 top ones)</p>

<p>Are all of you done with the common app? I’m seriously lugging behind. ://</p>

<p>Welcome emeraldarcher </p>

<p>I am procrastinating about my essays. I filled the Common App ages ago but I am getting behind due to essays</p>

<p>@eatyoualive: I just know I am not taking any tests on Nov 19 XD</p>

<p>Done with common apps? I didn’t even start…</p>

<p>IM FROM CHITTAGONG, BANGLADESH… anyone else gettin tripped up over USA admissions?</p>

<p>So, how did the SATs go?</p>

<p>hello everyone,are you all applying this year?which college or university are you applying?</p>

<p>SAT 1920>>> im outta hope :frowning: :frowning: :(</p>

<p>@ amyharvard: Yes most of us are applying this year for Fall 2012 admission. Wbu? And I haven’t fixed my uni list yet.</p>

<p>@arifxlr8: Welcome!
Don’t lose hope…can you retake it in Dec or Jan? What are your scores in CR and Math section? Where are looking forward to apply?</p>

<p>Thnx darth. CR 660, Math 720, Writin 540… no chances for retakes!! first time last time i dont repeattt
Im lukin at MIT, i guess imm reachin fr starssss</p>

<p>Btw, SAT is WIERDD!!! i mean i got 93 in ‘O’ Level english, old syllabus but i cant believe i screwed up here big time>>> Wat college(s) u guys applyin for???</p>

<p>arif MIT is one of the few universities that doesn’t look at SAT scores. The guy who got into MIT last year had 2090 and the two guys who got wait listed has scores of 2020 and 1920. However rest of your application needs to be very good.</p>

<p>I still would ask you to retake the SAT. Boost up your vocabulary and revise the grammar rules. if you can get your CR score 700+ and W score 600+ then you would be pretty set!</p>

<p>@darth… AAAHHHH!! dat was da XACT piece of info i was lukin for!! 2090! well im sure i cud get perfect SAT IIs if i tried, on the other hand retaking SATs, not much of an option (no time, not much money, i suck at grammar) but thanx for da info!! appreciate itt>> strong application >> spott onn workin on datt! but my essays are justt not under 250 wordss its frustratin!!</p>

<p>what essay?
If its common app essay then its OK if its around 500 words</p>

<p>Hi, I’m new here.
So my bro is applying this year (i’ll do it next year) and we have no idea how things are done but that can be figured out i suppose. Now what i really need to ask is how did all of you pay for the application fee? As in I don’t have access to an international credit card and the institutions that help people apply charge like tk.20000(excluding all other fees) so i was wondering if you guys could help me out? Because with that money I could apply to more universities</p>

<p>Oh and can someone please explain common app to me? Btw the SAT score is 2070 so where do you suggest he applies to get some form of good financial aid and such</p>

<p>Now that said i guess i can introduce myself now :slight_smile: I’m doing A2, taking the exams in may2012. 5 subjects.</p>

<p>Welcome Ssparkk</p>

<p>About Application Fees:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If you are under financial hardship and cannot pay at all, then submit a Fee waiver request.</p></li>
<li><p>If you can pay the app fee but do not have a credit card then you can contact a credit card service center. I personally know one is RD 27 Dhanmondi, Dhaka. The service center’s website is :</p></li>

<p>BTW which school are you from? if you don’t mind saying that :)</p>

<p>No no i can pay alright just that I don’t want to pay that additional 20k that places like the Princeton educ(banani) charge to just help you pay the university application fees.</p>

<p>That place you suggested do you know their fees? </p>

<p>Mlis but it doesn’t really count because i have only attended about a week worth of classes after school started last year :P</p>
