<p>I’ve created a new thread “Gossip” under College Admissions. It’s meant for those who are mathematicians to the core, number theorists to be specific and love pondering over numbers at leisure. U discuss over a cup of coffee at a cafe, similarly discussions will revolve around and originate from thread counts and thread numbers and spiral into a full blown mathematical discourse.</p>
<p>I acknowledge that it’s not possible for non-math-geeks to appreciate the nuances of this beautiful domain. Hence it’ll be proper to have a better location for off-track musings.</p>
<p>No offences meant… Bas007</p>
<p>Great idea! Of course, I’m more of a phi/e/pi sort of person, so I’ll only pop in from time to time, but anything that provides a forum for you to post your ‘famous’ posts is a welcome idea. :D</p>
<p>3344…</p>
<p>but I wanted to bicker … 
!!</p>
<p>@Spacepirate: No offense but you kind assume my UIUC bias for everything even though I havent really said anything which glorifies my school. As far as rankings are concerned UIUC is highly ranked school in a decent number of departments as well, my example for Umich was for the reason that any idiot can see oh Michigan is rank 1/2 in undergrad business & top 5 in engineering which cornell is not, oh and UIUC ranks go take a look again , top 10 in almost all engineering , hands down the best Accounting and Actuarial program out there , top 5 in Psychology. l2read! Btw most kids drop out because they cant handle the difficulty of the program , not because OMG PROGRAM SUCKS!</p>
<p>And for the fact you threw in my personal bias for picking UIUC over Cornell again , well my top school was Michigan/CMU but couldnt afford it! Cornell has a wonderful policy of declaring your financial aid once you accept an admission offer , so thats kinda … meh! I just ended up at UIUC cuz of the allmighty $!</p>
<p>And finally , this was not a college A vs college B thread , our friend spacpirate has thrown the fact that I am from UIUC making it Cornell vs UIUC thread which is not. All I am saying is dont get brainwashed into the mindset of its an Ivy , value schools on different parameters other than tags, top publics offer an equal if not a better opportunity. Some of you get that , some of you clearly dont.</p>
<p>hiya all. :)</p>
<p>My holy goodness… the Supermoderator DELETED my thread within 5 mins and he called himself Dove of Peace…</p>
<p>hi lebellanina</p>
<p>Sure, sure, we get that. In fact I think most people on CC do get that, we’re definitely past the Ivies are the greatest idea. 
Sorry if it wasn’t a College A vs B post, guess I’ve just grown a bit edgy about meaningless posts lately. (Which is strange, I know, as most of my posts kind of, lack meaning :D)</p>
<p>Seriously though, we do accept, or at least I do accept that it’s ridiculous to lump 7 disparate schools into one category simply because they play varsity sports with each other. And with that penetrating observation, I’m off to rekindle my acquaintance with Shakespeare…</p>
<p>@ bas: CC Cafe would be more appropriate…</p>
<p>Your gossip thread </p>
<hr>
<p>was removed. At best, it belonged in the Cafe, not the college information discussion board where you placed it.</p>
<p>However, your excessive bumping violated our TOS, so the post was removed, not moved to the cafe.</p>
<p>No more than one bump a day is allowed, and any bump should occur at least an hour or two after the original post.</p>

<p>pinku2002: can you give me a link to the engineering rankings that you are talking about?</p>
<p>does applying early to WPI help?</p>
<p>btw whats the cost of SAT? Rs 6000?</p>
<p>@spacepirate: US News !!</p>
<p>Daily Round-up: 72 posts :D</p>
<p>An Indian got to the high stages of American Idol :D</p>
<p>Indians Dominate!</p>
<p>His performance hasn’t been too impressive though.</p>
<p>Shrivats: There are 8 ivies, not 7.</p>
<p>Argh, I knew that! I hate typos, especially when you don’t notice them :)</p>
<p>I don’t exactly know how his performance has been, since i personally think that show is pointless, but nice to see that Indians are doing well in the arts too</p>
