<p>@Mrinal - You can also think about Virginia Tech, Rutgers and private ones RPI, WPI, Casewestern (some of these may give some aid) in addition to Tizil’s list. Duke has a good engg school as well.</p>
<p>I’m waiting for my ACT score to finalize my college list. Pretty sure I’ll be applying to around 15 colleges. I know 15 is a lot but I want to try my best.
Is everyone here applying to at least one ivy?</p>
<p>idream17: I am applying to 4 Ivy’s</p>
<p>I wanna see the Application of a reputed school bound 2016er before they delete such stuff 
Only if.</p>
<p>North. I was ea in Yale. But then my friend from a feeder school told me about the selectivity of Yale over Princeton? That princeton comparatively takes more India’s? That’s why?!</p>
<p>3 ivys here ( out of total 7 unis am applying to.)</p>
<p>I want to be like 2016er- intelligentR
He applied to just harv and MIT, got into both :((</p>
<p>^That does NOT affect your chances, if you are deemed capable by Yale, you will be accepted. You seem to think like college admissions are based on Game Theory, but they are not. If are capable, you will be accepted.
Even though, like I said before-Being from a feeder school increases your chances, but not being from a feeder school does not decrease them. 
So EA where you want to be, and that place is Yale for you.</p>
<p>
Be yourself, and you will be fine. Even though, I will pass on the comment to him, I am sure he will be happy to help. :)</p>
<p>@rew , any idea which college did intelligentR choose out of the two?</p>
<p>Also what exactly is a feeder school? I googled and came to a cconclusion " A feeder school “feeds” a particular high school. Usually, it means that all the students from that middle school go to a particular high school. "
How is it related to college?</p>
<p>A feeder school? Like DPS RKP. Any big school which sends a lot of students to top notch Colleges.</p>
<p>Hello '17ers - There is a post <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/india/1324393-indian-class-2016-results-thread.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/india/1324393-indian-class-2016-results-thread.html</a>
Intelligence (r) is an American-Indian student (local applicant) so doesn’t fall into the india student category 
The only students from India who are going to hypms (AND have shared with us) are nocensure and p25india. I think there are couple more but they have not shared with us. As far as I recall, both had outstanding ECs and 2300+ scores. And Tizil was the other one with couple of Ivies (he had outstanding EC as well).</p>
<p>Again everyone - please compare your scores and ECs to the results thread in the IVY boards. Only you can then say about your realistic chances. Again not to be a downer, but unless you have great scores, outstanding ECs, almost perfect subject scores, top 1-2% in class, save your money or have other safeties…(unfortunately that is the reality).</p>
<p>Agreeing with and adding to F16parent’s post, if you think you’re on the border of wobbling on either side of the decision spectrum, it will only help you to call/visit the university. I do realize that visiting is close to impossible/not worth it for most internationals. However, be sure to show interest through emails or calls. In my own personal experience, this is what helped me with Columbia.</p>
<p>A feeder school is one that consistently sends a considerable number of students to top-10 or top-20 universities every year. To be honest, none of you should be worrying about this. In fact, this should be a topic of consideration only if you do attend such a school.</p>
<p>I couldn’t do this, but I’d advise you guys to look up supplements of colleges throughout the summer. Not necessarily answer the questions, just get acclimatized to them and think how you might want to answer them. This will reduce stress if you’re applying early.</p>
<p>Another tip is that, and some might disagree, don’t fill up your ECs section with every inconspicuous thing you’ve ever done. In other words, don’t beef it up with things that don’t matter.</p>
<p>Tizil- which college is pratyush attending? I saw he got into great school :)</p>
<p>He’s at Berkeley in the COE at the particularly envious major of EECS :p</p>
<p>TheE chose Harvard over MIT. :eek:</p>
<p>TheE is an (Indian?) American kid.</p>
<p>I traded PMs with someone who was choosing between Duke and Yale and I think settled on Yale. I don’t know if he ever posted it and so I can’t mention his ID.</p>
<p>I believe another billionaire’s kid from India is headed to Yale too.</p>
<p>Thanks Tizil7 and ppaayas for sharing what exactly a feeder school is :)</p>
<p>As far as I’ve heard, billionaires kids get into Yale for sure shot.
Every kid of Ambani is in Yale.</p>
<p>Also, I have seen many ministers kids at Yale with stats not better than Tizil.
So does it mean that money plays a major part in the need blind 'Yale?</p>
<p>@texaspg Mukesh Ambani’s daughter is attending Yale if she is the same billionaire’s kid you are talking about.</p>
<p>@rew not every Ambani kid is there 
I think his son is at Brown…
and also is anyone aware that Rahul Gandhi also attended HArvard when his dad was PM of INdia…</p>
<p>I don’t think that Ambani’s son would be on CC. For all we know, he can be on his personal Boeing and off to Yale just to talk some random freshmen and get all the information he needs. :p</p>
<p>
I don’t know where are we going with this discussion. If billionaires are given a spot disregarding the admission criteria, why would it affect your chances??
And, there ability to be a full pay might have made a difference, given they have good stats.
You are going way overboard with this one rew, I had suggest you to just concentrate on your SATs for now.</p>
<p>LOL. Yes I am. Kinda.
It’s like I am nervous already :/</p>
<p>Only if the world doesn’t end in December.</p>
<p>Also, people, somebody suggest me how should I go about preparing for the November SAT1? How should I plan from today itself?</p>
<p>Taking SAT2 in October.</p>
