<p>Unfortunately I haven’t ever studied Economics in my lifetime! :O</p>
<p>i think i know you, @thekd95.
your initials are - S S, right? from Delhi? (International School, by name?)</p>
<p>is HKU as hard to get in as NTU/NUS?
i am inclined towards the humanities course at HKU. but like, what is the cut off for an indian student? is it same as NUS- ~96% in ISC</p>
<p>^ I’ve heard HKU is easier to get into!! A 90+ in 10th is good enough and they do look at ECs!! :D</p>
<p>Also, most universities in Hong Kong are currently on a drive to get more International students to compete with US universities!! :)</p>
<p>For NUS though, its ~97% for engineering and a bit lower for business/economics/arts in that order…</p>
<p>NTU is ~2% lower than NUS in the cutoffs!!</p>
<p>^ Though this is for non olympiad applicants!!</p>
<p>@rew2402 - Nope, sorry. But I know who you’re talking about :P</p>
<p>Then you’re surely K.D. 
Regardless, congratulations (and, in case you are K.D., good luck at Harvard)</p>
<p>^ mysterious stuff o_O</p>
<p>Hey, I applied Stanford without requesting any aid. Today I received an email reconfirming my financial aid choice.
Has anyone here /friends/past applicant got such an email ?</p>
<p>long time back;;;;;@anand</p>
<p>hey everyone 
i was part of the locked indian thread #20 and i totally forgot that another one was out there, so hello to all of yall :D</p>
<p>sorry to ask an unrelated question but how much did you guys spend for only applying to the universities(considering each univ charges $60-$80 fees)?</p>
<p>close to 500$</p>
<p>how many universities you applied to?</p>
<p>i applied to 15ish
less than $500.
i used application and CSS profile fee waivers. ISFAA forms for the rest.
just had to pay for sending test scores.</p>
<p>I applied to 7</p>
<p>Ok…Thanks for the replies…just wanted to know :)</p>
<p>Whatsup people !</p>
<p>I didn’t use fee waviers, and I spent about 1.5-2K dollars. I know that’s a lot, but I applied to 20 universities.
You know you guys have to count the money you spent for writing the tests write? I wrote Subject SATs Thrice, Main SAT once, and ACT once, each one roughly is 90 dollars(a bit more), so thats like 500 dollars right there.</p>
<p>That’s life if you are going abroad…</p>
<p>I spent ~ Rs. 40000 on everything together, but why are we discussing this again?? :O</p>
<p>No waivers, 8 univ in USA + SAT + CSS + 4 Univ in Asia + the Indian ones!!</p>
