<p>i really meant that…becuz my board marks arent great :D</p>
<p>btw, I dont think Pranay was involved with any Olympiads…</p>
<p>hehe!!..mine r but my SAT marks aren’t!!!</p>
<p>u scored 800-800 on 2 SAT II subs…i cant believe u</p>
<p>man i was talking abt SAT I…SAT II doent even matter much…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ohh ,thats good!!! But my problem is that my 9th and 10th report cards are excellent and there is a drop in performance in 11th and 12th. Thats worries me like hell.The difference in percentage between my 10th and 12th is over 10 percent. God help me…</p>
<p>My real name is Kimi Raikkonen. lol …SAT people allowed me to fill only “SIDD” ;)</p>
<p>oh I get that about Pranay… it referred to board marks</p>
<p>well sidd thats is common to all…i faced a drop of 15%…so its quite alright…dun worry about that…</p>
<p>who is pranay by the way???</p>
<p>Dex,but it does hurt your scholarship chances ,doesnt it ? lol…</p>
<p>Btw, our curriculum doesnt provide for many ECs.has anyone here managed to get scholarship only on acads ?</p>
<p>Pranay is a MIT freshman from Patna</p>
<p>“man i was talking abt SAT I…SAT II doent even matter much…”
Dexter r u mad…For engg only SAT II’s have importance.</p>
<p>i cant find the title for the personal essay that we are supposed to write for washu in st. louis?anybody knows on which page it is?</p>
<p>about having low percentages … dont worry…u will do fine… they also know the Indian System …whereby significant drop is there in classes 1 and 12…just make sure that u are gud on the relative scale… i mean …in class rank … </p>
<p>SAT2 IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT …for you people… we just had a chat session with cornell adcomms and this is what they had to say :::</p>
<p>question: Whther sat1 or sat2 is more importnat for admission in a Science or eng. field…?</p>
<p>Answer :</p>
<p>“” For eng. and science applicants we look really carefully at the folllowing scores which are important : Sat1 MAths, Sat2 Maths and sat2 other science subject ( all submitted ones will be seen )“”</p>
<p>WAke up ppl…this is the time to spend on the applications and stuff not on CC…
If u must have noticed my internet time on CC, its gone down by 80%</p>
<p>2 questions: </p>
<ol>
<li>SM, where was this “chat session”? Did you find out anything else useful? I believe Akash got into Cornell last year from The Indian Thread but he got a measly $70,000 for all 4 years. Are they generally so stingy?</li>
<li>What if I’ve\my school has converted marks to grades and then sent that in my transcript? I think vampiro was doing this initially…though I don’t know what happened later. I don’t think I need to worry really b/c my class rank is 1 anyway and my Board % is >95 (though it doesn’t matter as vampiro rightly pointed out)…just wondering…</li>
</ol>
<p>Cheers
P.S. - I wonder what the DPS RKP guy (read factory product) (Karan Mishra) did to get into Stanford last year. Any clues?</p>
<p>i have heard that Karan was the President of their Comp/Tech club or something like that. When i contacted him, even he told me that he was surprised at the Stanford’s decision and thought that his essays might have worked for him. He is on full aid…as he told me…</p>
<p>assatvik …
ur answers …</p>
<ol>
<li>This chat was organised specially for enlisted Int. students…and i too recieved an invitation…yes…akash did got admitted there and cornelll is very much renowed to manipulate stuff specially financially</li>
</ol>
<p>2.Since u r rank 1 and ur marks in boards are gud…it wud be absolutely redundant to do that.,… send in the marks u have got…No grades needed in ur case as rank says it all</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>prachi which one u talkin abt…the main essay or scholarship ones…</p>
<p>Ok, you CC addicts. One more question:</p>
<p>Has any international ever got into Stanford early with aid?</p>
<p>im talking abt the main essay… jus cant find it!!</p>
