<p>LOL…:D…</p>
<p>hehe…wasnt thr soem movie also where priyanka chopra starred(i simply can’t remeber the name) with a similar case of reverse descrimination???that is what i heard from my friends…hehe</p>
<p>Sucharita you can have your CC meet up once your are in princeton like neha an dmyself plan to have ours in Singapore…</p>
<p>btw…hehe…neha i have surprisingly stopped reactign to my shortened name(anjali)…hehe use nayan insted…thats my nick…thanx!:)</p>
<p>ALL THE BEST TO SUCHARITA AND ADI FOR THEIR VISA INTERVIEW TOMORROW!!..:)</p>
<p>and if there are more ppl who have visa interviews,then all the best too!!:)</p>
<p>Sucharita and Adides—Best of Luck.</p>
<p>wo…17 Indians got into Duke. Can anyone tell me how many with aid.
and the one’s with aid to Stanford can’t hurt either.</p>
<p>I don’t like the idea of forcing ppl to stand when the anthem is playing. Respect comes from within, and there are several ways to show that other than standing automatically like robots when the anthem plays and not giving a f.uck after its over.</p>
<p>Anyone got any scholarship sites to share.</p>
<p>vampiro. i understand this is a coll admission website. but please. relax. the volume of your posts is just…ummm… </p>
<p>and yeah, im into duke with aid… know 2 other people with aid</p>
<p>Even though respect comes from within its *<strong><em>ing *</em></strong>ing off when Indians can’t show the basic respect to their country for less then a minute. I’d gone for a movie and song firangs were standing for the anthem and two guys in front of me refused to stand. Pretty pathetic.</p>
<p>wow…this is quite the desi hangout isn’t it?</p>
<p>hey LadyinRed, welcome…this is nothing compared to the prev indian thread… :D</p>
<p>ok nayan i shall rem that… :)</p>
<p>as for the national anthem thing, ya they cant be forced but i will def be disgusted by them or atleast frown upon them… :mad: :(</p>
<p>anyway, one imp ques for those of u going to duke, how is the financial aid??</p>
<p>i amy have asked b4 but does anybody knwo anyone from their school or locality going to nus?</p>
<p>I know a girl named Shivya goin to singapore but most probably she’s going to SMU</p>
<p>Hey people…
I am looking to EA one school for fall 2006.</p>
<p>I have my eyes set on STANFORD or YALE.
Where do I have a better chance considering that I will apply fo financial aid also.</p>
<p>yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa
got the visa!!!
well the only comment i have to make about the whole process is that, the guards at the consulate are the biggest ass-holes i have seen in my life…they asked an 85 year old man to keep his stick outside and asked him to take all his stuff with him…show some humanity!!!
anyways vampiro,
i would say forget stanford…everyone says that int + aid = rejection… i would say take a shot at yale…but yale doesnt have an engineering department does it???</p>
<p>yayyyy got my visa too - with a grand total 1 question. :D</p>
<p>The guards at the Calcutta consulate are fairly decent.</p>
<p>i was also asked one question- interview lasted 20 secs max :)</p>
<p>and the question was…</p>
<p>gave my TOEFL today, score range was 233-290.Should get 290, I doubt my essay was too bad.</p>
<p>well the interview was like this:
VO: this is for the first time in india, that i have seen someone as tall as me! you must have huge problems with the doors?
ME: yea, almost all the time 
VO: So, you got into pton…with aid.
ME: Yea
(he does something with my passport)
VO: tell me what u gonna do in future?
ME: tell him…
VO: ok thats great…u have got the visa…will be posted to u…
that was it…20 secs :)</p>
<p>lol ,wow man pton with aid!</p>
<p>can you put your left index finger on the fingerprint scanner please? OK. Now the right one :p</p>
<p>The rest of the interview was mostly spent in talking about how happy I was. :p</p>
<p>fingerprint scanner, you’re kidding? I heard tha they check you at the airport with the ‘Naked making Machine’.</p>
