The Indian Thread (TiT) # 14

<p>does anybody here have full length sample new sat papers:::::::i desperately need one coz i am retaking my sat in October and need practice on Critical reading part…,… if any of you have a sample paper like one given by college board …tellme.and dont giv links for the so called wonderful websites that offer theses courses. i want sat sample papers that can be solved offline without much probs…</p>

<p>can anybody help …me coz my sat CR score sucks…</p>

<p>so you people got it at last. They call it their mistake because unlike this TiT they used to post a lot and interestingly very little about application process.</p>

<p>^exactly</p>

<p>oh and just 2 little tips I learnt while working in the admissions office(that I am allowed to share with you)-</p>

<p>1)APPLY FOR A FEE WAIVER IF YOU NEED IT-IT DOESNT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON YOUR APP WHATEVER-atleast as far as duke goes</p>

<p>2)do NOT send in extra stuff-its very very likely to get thrown away or misplaced.you guys shud see the how thin the envelopes for applications are.I find it amazing how they can even manage to fit in a normal application.</p>

<p>

And the indian thread stikes again :smiley: eh such?</p>

<p>The Indian Thread? What is that? </p>

<p><em>desperately trying to pretend CC never existed while posting here</em></p>

<p>sorry but i couldn’t figure out if you were joking or were serious about not knowing the indian thread,
you do remember him don’t you ;)</p>

<p>count me in !</p>

<p>welcome to the TiT virendra!! hope u don waste as much time here as some of us have done :).
Btw, a lil intro abt when ur applyin etc. will be nice!!!</p>

<p>:D .</p>

<p>who is the Indian Thread?</p>

<p>I’m sorry. I still don’t know who The Indian Thread is.</p>

<p>And CC doesn’t exist.</p>

<p>*~adides : "indian thread, you do remember him don’t you " (to sucharita) *</p>

<p>Adides, how can she ever forget !
But he betrayed all her hopes and trust, right? How else can she respond now, eh?</p>

<p>Adides and Sucharita, PM me answers to the questions below </p>

<p>=========</p>

<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:

  1. How is peer-interaction between Princetonians?
  2. Do you interact with graduate students and professors freely and regularly or remain constrained within the boundaries of peer goups?
  3. How is the gender dispersion factor in Princeton?
  4. Extra-curriculars activities? Sports?</p>

<p>.</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>.</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>.</p>

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

<p>i am astounded .astounded by the things that happen here at TIT 14 … Well it seems that no matter how hard oldies try out to get out .they remain a parrt of CC … they post agin and are forced by instincts wheneverf somebody calls in for them …Truly inspirational./</p>

<p>And yes.reading the Indian Thread and past events .i now know it all… what all happened .feel it is a lot crap :::; one shud give more time in Applications …obviously…thanks for the warning before hand… i am saved of a lot of time otherwise wasted … </p>

<p>reg the talented students thing.i know it and thanks for inspiration Shabin… u dont know me but i do…</p>

<p>Lets see what does the future holds in for us newbies :::</p>

<p>And sucharita ::: CC does exist and now that u already have wasted so much time.dont repent and be aware …warn others and enjoy the past that has been .no matter how dreadfull… U are among the brightest students who has gone to US frm India :::</p>

<p>ahhhhhh!!!</p>

<p><em>frustrated</em></p>

<p>Looks like I have to spell it out smartmind. TiT was a joke. What adi and SHABIN said a few posts ago was a joke. Mostly everything I say here is a joke since I’m quite incapable of taking my internet self seriously (yeah that means what I said about CC not exisiting was a joke too. Except that it’ s not funny anymore because I had to explain it :()
Or maybe my sense of humor just sucks. Heehee.</p>

<p>And you might try not to be so judgmental for a change? Just a suggestion.</p>

<p>Lighten up kids!</p>

<p>kids??? we ARE just a year younger to you!!!</p>

<p>exactly…and sucharita whatevr it was it opened up urself to the international community of istudents frm india and world… That is helpful coz u cud never have had that without cc.What u did in Indian Thread was dreadful…i agree…
anyways…i respect ur feelings and its perfectly ok…</p>

<p>as a last note plz.answer my PM i sent quite a while ago</p>

<p>i was bcoming overactive at CC…guess i must pull the break already …Thnks i will be cautious from ur experiances</p>

<p>Clarification Set #2: </p>

<p>a.) When I say kids, it’s a rhetorical expression, like say I meet a friend in your age group I sometimes say - “Hey kid, whaddup?”</p>

<p>b.) smartmind, I believe if you read my previous post you will understand that much of what I say is a joke. So yeah, I got a lot of useful info from CC - I’m not denying that, and if I appear to be doing so, it’s in a lighthearted way.</p>

<p>c.) yeah I think it’s a good idea to moderate your CC time. This is something I am going to do from now on LOL</p>

<p>d.) I’ll answer your pm when I’ve thought of the answers, but you should understand that no one is under an obligation to answer your questions, so you shouldn’t really be so autocratic when you ask them to do so.</p>

<p>Now I’d like to get something clarified - what did I do that was so ‘dreadful’?</p>

<p>

does sound sinister… :)</p>
