<p>~ sucharita : "one of my roommates is RSI. "</p>
<p>Sucharita, how many people in your room?</p>
<p>Adides and Sucharita, PM me the answer to the following questions:
- How is peer-interaction between Princetonians?
- Do you interact with graduate students and professors freely and regularly or remain constrained within the boundaries of peer goups?
- How is the gender dispersion factor in Princeton?
- Extra-curriculars activities? Sports?</p>

<p>*~smartmind : “And one must know that each year there are a set of exceptional students who just devastate ur chances.but u can do nothing abt that…
I think this happened with ur batch also… Sucharita, adides, Shabin, Mercurysquad, and many more…” *</p>
<p>Do we know each other, smarty?
I agree that there are exceptional students, and that they apply everywhere top as well as hit the marks most of the time. </p>
<p>**But I don’t agree that your exceptionality and your potential will ever be affected by them or their capacities. Smarty, my friend, you must have faith in your abilities and your capacities before others will have faith in them.
Bring any of those exceptional students to me, in due time I will catch-up, match-up and beat-down them. Smarty and all those out there, you can also do it, if you really have the ability, capability and capacity. So my friend, why you worry?
But never forget your limitations.</p>
<p>Yes, there are exceptional students with exceptional abilities and talents which may not be inherent in all people. Well, that is why they are exceptional, right Smarty? Understand that you too have some talents and abilities which are exceptional and inherent in you, and instead of sobbing over not being a Mozart or DaVinci, go become who you really are: Alexander, Beethoven, Clinton, Dell, Einstein, Fleming, … **</p>

<p>~vampiro : “I did not even know about RSI…due to lack of info in my school and many students still dont know about it so its not that big a deal) we still have a chance. although RSI on our resume would have been better.”</p>
<p>The case is/was the same with me as well. Though I had known of RSI from my upper-primary school days, I had assumed it to be something for graduates and post-graduates. And to compound the misunderstanding, I was the only known person in my immediate knowledge who had any knowledge about RSI. And the knowledge was incomplete.</p>
<p>I only had one enemy, that is my ignorance. And I am fighting against it using all the WMDs in my brains arsenal.</p>
<p>A Case of RSI in point:
**A very close friend of mine who had gone to RSI did not even apply to MIT, CalTech, Princeton, Stanford, or anywhere, except here in India to IIT! And he is doing his Bachelors in Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay. He worked at Harvard University under a professor from Harvard using Chandra X-Ray Telescope to scan and record .007 steradian of an arial vector arc of the universe. **</p>
<p>He stayed at MIT and commuted between Harvard and MIT everyday of his RSI days. According to him, Harvard has a campus and MIT doesn’t. Harvard campus is beautiful, MIT’s isn’t.</p>
<p>**According to him, IIT undergraduate courses are deeper than MIT’s courses and he liked the peaceful isolated from the rest of the world 500 to 1500 acre campuses of IIT than the 150 acre landlock of MIT! **</p>
<p>Well, he is a brilliant fellow. And we have immense respect for each other as well as for each other’s knowledge and potential! </p>

<p>**Read the post by abduke above. He shares a very important point there to be noted. Note it. **</p>
