<p>So two friends meet again 
Prachi, I and Ankur have applied to Vanderbilt. I have applied for fin aid only…</p>
<p>hi everyone,
SO what is this latest buzz regarding Georgia Tech. I hear that most of u are applying there now according to your weird calculations.
Well best of luck for that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What do you mean by that??</p>
<p>that was for ronty and prachi…dexter
They have calculated the 3 yr cost to be like 35k…
and ronty just told me how…</p>
<p>but IMO its a big risk</p>
<p>yes…a big risk…and I m not sure whether I will apply or not</p>
<p>oh you should apply…but think before u go</p>
<p>where have you guys done your “calculations”?? i couldn’t find it on TiT…</p>
<p>Sahil, its not on TiT… ;)</p>
<p>well its a long story…</p>
<p>30k total expenses for 4 yrs
shikhar2002in: huh
shikhar2002in: I heard that thing from Ankur
ronty: ok
shikhar2002in: can u explain your calculations
ronty: ask him…he has understood ot better
ronty: it*
shikhar2002in: well
shikhar2002in: but yaar
shikhar2002in: its your calculations
shikhar2002in: please tell me
shikhar2002in: how u got to 30k an year
BUZZ!!!
ronty: ok
ronty: it is mentioned on their website that their per annum exp is 30k
ronty: xxx told me that for a general student
ronty: its aorund 25 k(if one doesnt spend a lot)
ronty: then AP’s
ronty: PT job every yr with 8k
ronty: then Co-ops
ronty: due to AP and some more classes
ronty: one can try to complete the course in 3 yrs
ronty: so 25x3=75k EXP
shikhar2002in: ok
ronty: 8kx3=24k PT earning
ronty: 15k=thru Co-op for 3yrs
ronty: something like that
shikhar2002in: so that comes
shikhar2002in: to
ronty: got the rough estimate?
shikhar2002in: uhh
shikhar2002in: 33k for 3 years
shikhar2002in: and say if u had to do for 4 years
ronty: yes
ronty: then add 24 more
shikhar2002in: I mean is it really possible to take all those classes
shikhar2002in: and does PT job get u that much</p>
<p>WHOA!! those are some calculations!!..hmmm AP??..how many here r taking these??..i initially thot abt them but then later dropped the idea…</p>
<p>hey dexter: Make yourself useful and do one thing. Go to American Embassy school and find out whether they allow outsiders to give AP’s thru their school.</p>
<p>when i am not giving them why should i bother!!</p>
<p>hey u should give them. Can get u lot of courses off at sasta price. at most of the colleges u are looking at.</p>
<p>yes…why shud u bother :eek:</p>
<p>dude if u have an international school[we have Ambani/American school here] in ur city mostly they ll let u take the APS… but yeah id like to know too if the embassy offers the test… im not sure they do though…</p>
<p>dexter y did u drop the Ap idea…</p>
<p>Prachi…I am not talking abt American Embassy.
I am talking abt American Embassy School. Which is a US high school in Delhi.</p>
<p>oh k…</p>
<p>well i didn’t wanna take the AP’s as it would have increased the pressure on me…you know after almost a year after sitting idle i think i would have found it difficult to stay with the course…basically i didn’t want to miss the first year, where course load is less, as it would give me some time to settle in…thats all…</p>
