<p>SM</p>

<p>okayy then… i am… uhh… moo. i like cows for some odd reason… and i am well… born in india… brought up in singapore… and i currently live in indonesia, jakarta… and i should be going to the states for college in the few months.</p>

<p>heheh thats funny… and interesting too… well so which college are you considering by the way…</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>just got a full ride from George Washington (45K…)
But its Houston all the way.</p>

<p>you cant take George Washington over Rice…
So your decision is 100% correct ruships</p>

<p>Hey Vampiro,
I got admitted to WPI too but I got 24.5 K in scholarship and they said that that’s the highest they give to int’ls. So did you request them to raise your sch amount?
And also, is WPI reputed enough in the States? (thats the only place I got accepted at)</p>

<p>hu… how is that possible??? </p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>Its possible as it has happened. Vampiro will tell it himself :)</p>

<p>heyhey again… SM i am considering washington u st louis… UT Austin… Babson and Boston U. i got half rides from boston and babson but i think i am headed to wash u just cause its a better school… UT austin isnt bad either considering i want to do business. its well ranked… but a lot of my “bhaiyas” from spore graduated from there recently… and they said getting classes is the biggest challenege in the history of big university challenges. ^^</p>

<p>youre thoughts pple? </p>

<p>and to all the pple getting good scholarship money… good on ya… and congrats. ! ^^</p>

<p>hey people . . </p>

<p>i just got this HUGE packet from WUSTL right now . . like its really HUGE . . and heavy . . so I thought it was their ‘revised’ admission decision . . </p>

<p>but when i opened i found this thick book about all the courses and stuff at WUSTL . . </p>

<p>whyre they sending it to me now ??</p>

<p>My advice…dont think of going to WUSTL…your life wld be miserable in St. Louis…its only ranked highly…otherwise its a f… up university…i have rejected its offer…wid aid</p>

<p>heyhey manuj… any reason for saying so… wats the basis. you claim… but you didnt support… i;d appreciate the explanation… since im considering WUSTL</p>

<p>i just wanted to know why they sent it to me man !</p>

<p>rishab they sent it to you coz it wasnt from the admission office… i keep getting several of those type of packages from places till date. Universities have deparrtmental lists of students who post their contact info on the webiste and express willingness to recieve such materials. Your name being there in that list somehow caters to this packet you got which is regular mass mailing to prospective and currrent WUSTL students. </p>

<p>Also so Rishab what did u do finally for your waitlist reversal strategy…</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>I dont remember telling WUSTL that Im interested in this sorta stuff. Didnt fill up any extra form or check any boxes which said ‘Would you like to recieve materials from our office?’ or anything of that sort.</p>

<p>So Im assmuming everyone who applied to WUSTL should get it . . .</p>

<p>hahah rishab may be… anyways it gonna be dumped straight in my cupboard… or anything…
it may be as well for the preapplication form we sent to WUSTL</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>yeah i got it too. ^^ quote pointless at this point of time in my opinion… and the pple had to waste money shuipping it all the way to jakarta… anyhow… rishabh and smartmind… are you both applying/applied to WUSTL? and where are you pple presently?</p>

<p>Both of us applied to WUSTL and were waitlisted also… as of present location we are in India presently.,…</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>ahh, okie. ^^ i’m gonna have to go there since my parents are pretty much hell bent on it. i mean… WHY NOT babson or boston u…? all my friends are going to boston you see… but anyway… since i’ve had my mind made up for me… theres not much else left to do. goodluck to you guys… so where else have you pple applied? or what are your general plans for the coming academinc year?</p>

<p>well we all applied to so so so so many places but the news abt what happened isnt gud… i guess just wait a few more days and ull knw wher we are headed to.</p>

<p>SM</p>
