The Indian Thread (TiT) # 15

<p>Yes. I’d like to major in Engineering.</p>

<p>anyone who has EDed Princeton here?</p>

<p>I have :smiley: and have obviously been deferred.</p>

<p>Hey you guys. (Was sleeping, me first afternoon siesta in, I don’t know, forever! :))</p>

<p>Thanks for the wishes… :), though CMU wasn’t one of our top choices, tis good to be in! :D</p>

<p>@Noldo: I know that feeling. I’m from a JIPMER, AIIMS, PGI family (Father was at all 3 for UG, G, and PG (God, I sound like a film censorship bureau :p). With heavy IIT and BITS influence in my mother’s family. (Oh and some Ivy and MIT heritage as well. :)))</p>

<p>Now that’s a heavy legacy to follow! :)</p>

<p>To Pyro: You’ll find that most of us are doing some form of Engineering/CS/Math.</p>

<p>I’m personally going into Physics and Materials Engineering, if I can. (And my mind doesn’t change :p)</p>

<p>K’s more into Engineering (undecided) at the moment, with possible International Relations with it.</p>

<p>I don’t think I’m going to major in engineering (yes, I know that I’ve said I would before, but I’ve settled on ‘no’) – especially not at Caltech, which is theoretical to the point of madness, and also has nice physics and maths departments. :smiley: (Even if both departments contain a grand total of no female Indian undergraduates; oh well, someone has to do it first!) If I do end up in an engineer-y field, it will be comp. sci, but probably on the theoretical side of things.</p>

<p>And RD Princeton for me, not ED.</p>

<p>Same RD Princeton for me. RD nearly everywhere really. (EA to Harvard –> Defer)</p>

<p>Well then you’ll be a trailblazer Noldo! (Which would make you a flaming elf? :smiley: ;))</p>

<p>Family education legacies are horrid, aren’t they? :confused: (Well, they’re obviously amazing and all, but they do contribute to the old inferiority complex a tad. A mere trifle.)</p>

<p>A flaming elf? DEAR GOD, SHRIVATS. :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p><em>suppresses urge to make Feanor joke</em></p>

<p>A trifle? Surely not (Which is of course the best form of saying no. :p) </p>

<p>A Piffle? Sure.</p>

<p>Congratulations at the twins! :D</p>

<p>I’m still alive… my parents think I’ve had enough of CC or something, they want me to study for the JEE. Boo.</p>

<p>Thanks Kriti… :slight_smile:
Isn’t Oberlin enough then? </p>

<p>P.S: You’re alive? Now how do we know that? (Puts on monocle and assumes dry voice) :D</p>

<p>Congrats Twins</p>

<p>Well I am the last person to wish(:()</p>

<p>Ah no problem Abhi, tis appreciated all the same.</p>

<p>Can’t wait for the 29th. Likely we’ll have a huge cacophony of people all congratulating each other :).</p>

<p>I like the word cacophony, sounds strangely mellifluous. :D</p>

<p>Ouch! I’m a thread hibernator! :)</p>

<p>eh…13th minutes doesn’t count as hibernation</p>

<p>Ah well true… (But I like being a hibernator. Damn! :))</p>

<p>How many people here in the notacceptedanywhereyet club?</p>

<p>Not that many really, most have been accepted somewhere at least. :slight_smile: Unlucky for you sp, but be assured, most of us are still mentally in the “I want to hear from the colleges I really want to go to” mood.</p>

<p>but being in the NAAY club is a different feeling all by itself! the wait is much more intense and scary!</p>

<p>by the way, is it grammatically incorrect to start a sentence with a “but”?</p>

<p>Depends, English grammar varies widely depending upon which school of thought you align yourself with, and where you’re from, so it must be correct somewhere! :)</p>

<p>(I’m a follower of the “sounds right” school ;))</p>
