The Indian Thread (TiT) # 14

<p>and guys who all are coming to the University of Pennsylvania information session on the 18th of October in Delhi…Maybe we CC’ers can meet there.</p>

<p>hey these adm. counsellors coming to bombay?</p>

<p>n yeah do all colleges give credits for doing well in the SAT2s…</p>

<p>Sorry I cant say abt them coming to Bombay nothing is said about that on their card…but then u can send an email to Ms. G. lakshmi <a href="mailto:lakshmi@asahiindia.com">lakshmi@asahiindia.com</a></p>

<p>I dont think “all” colleges give credit for doing well on the SAT II’s…I mean only the ones who need the SAT II’s as a requirement will only give credit for them .(try to keep your question specific as that would yield a more accurate answer).
So what are your goals and where do you think you’ll be applying to and are you looking for any scholarships.</p>

<p>yeah lookin for aid… tahts why applying to LACs for a liberal arts n sciences course…
what you doing?</p>

<p>I am looking for Computers Science and Engineering.Also looking for finaid and well compelled to apply to only big Univs cos the LAC’s dont offer my course.
Do you have a specific list as yet (of the Univs)</p>

<p>u payin full tution then huh
naa deciding a college is sooooo confusing especially since we havent made the campus visits and all…</p>

<p>which school gives aid for engg anyways…?</p>

<p>hey vampiro…im coming for the upenn session too. anybdy else from cc cuming???</p>

<p>

</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Yup. An 800 is definitely not necessary. It may be an added boost but there are enough Math 2 C 800 scorers applying to Princeton to fill the class 3 times over.</p></li>
<li><p>I love Princeton.:)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>yaa plenty of new posts by new members.cool.</p>

<p>As of sucharita … she got an 800 in all Sat parts except a maths 2c making a total of 3960/4000 … which is not only amazing but awesome… She was a cool applicant…and is very helpful too…i remember that till date each time i send a query , she is the first to answer…</p>

<p>well lots of em give aid for Engg. (but its very very competitive everywhere).
Cool Sachit hope to see you there (my pehchaan -> I’ll be the only guy from Dehra Dun asking probably a lot of questions you’ll know me then)</p>

<p>also u guys tell us what happens at the information session coz there isn’t one at my city … there is a session by University of Southern California ( but again not here, so i fret) …</p>

<p>Neways hope u get some gud info</p>

<p>there are a whole lot who give aid for eng. Like all the top ones.but the competition is fierce as almost all indians compete…</p>

<p>yup, i’ll be there for the upenn info session too! lets meet up there.</p>

<p>so rite now its me, saatvik and vampiro. sure guys, lets meet up there.</p>

<p>u got it boys…Lets see what the session does have.
I dont know if any of us will get to UPenn actually…coz these guys are like ranked 1 or 2 as the most stingiest Univs (seriously in the end they’ll send you a stupid letter saying that “if u do not apply for finaid then your chances will be great”)</p>

<p>hey vampiro</p>

<p>i’m kinda optmistic abt upenn. i know this guy who had ok-ok stats (1440 SAT I and his ECs weren’t exactly stellar, plus his essays were kinda crappy and fake) and he was waitlisted (he applied for aid) at upenn.
so now, how do we identify each other?
i bet the session won’t hv too much useful stuff - the video they r talking abt can be viewed on their site.i think its just a good opportunity for some PR.</p>

<p>yep same here…(the PR reason).
I was skeptical abt Upenn coz Sucharita and Mercurysquad both got this letter stating the reason and I thiiink they were both waitlisted.</p>

<p>Well just carry a name tag with you or better still give a number where I can call…actually I dont live in delhi (its my grandparents home where I’ll stay so I’ll give you a call when I am in Delhi…ok)</p>

<p>sure man…we can call before.</p>

<p>ya…it wont be too useful…but lets hope for the best.
i attended this fair at the oberoi where some crappy unis were there…wasnt too useful.</p>

<p>does anybody know if any other good univ is coming??? like stanford etc.</p>

<p>and where have all of u reached in the app process???</p>
