<p>This is English!</p>
<p>Now if only CC allowed diacritical marks. I feel a strange yearning for a yogh or a thorn to liven things up. :D</p>
<p>JHU decisions probably out today! :)</p>
<p>many pages back someone said
"taemi’s definitely in India (he was a NTSE kid). sudu1989? "

<p>When are the Chicago and Swarthmore decisions coming out???</p>
<p>I regret the lack of diacritical marks – I wanted to quote Beowulf in the original, damn it! 
</p>
<p>(You know how much this is going to worry anyone who reads this thread for the first time, right?)</p>
<p>I don’t know about Chicago, but they’re being emailed “before April 1”.</p>
<p>What!!!
JHU OUT TODAY!!!
oh no!!!</p>
<p>Ah I think anybody reading this thread for the first time would have a hard time anyway… *smirks</p>
<p>But ah well, timeo danaos et dona ferentes, really. :)</p>
<p>And yes, I do know that that has very little relevance. (I just love the sequence in YPM where it’s said though. :D)</p>
<p>@taemi: Maybe out today. They posted a pic on typepad with empty shelves. That would imply that the envelopes have been posted, which means emails should be sent today… </p>
<p>I love logic. :)</p>
<p>Good point, that. I wonder how many ickle Indian hopefuls we’ve scared off with all the Latin and punning and Douglas Adams (and we call ourselves science majors? :p). (Speaking of that, though, I rather think we need a ‘stuff I wish I’d known before I applied to college’ thread. For example, ‘it is good to have safeties’, ‘it is also good to have extracurricular activities’, and ‘MIT HATES EVERYONE’. :D)</p>
<p>We’ll start that. (I’ve been kicking it around in my head for a while)</p>
<p>A sort of wisdom filled thread for Internationals/Indians, where we, veterans of TiT can pass on our pearls of wisdom. :D</p>
<p>So, what say you, sort of “The College Application Process 101: What to do if you’re Birth Challenged/International” :)</p>
<p>1st Law: Do NOT listen to what people around you say, regardless of how much they think they know. Trust the colleges, and the colleges alone. (Except for us, of course) :)</p>
<p>I SAW THE HOPKINS INSIDER BLOG!!! THEY’RE COMING!!! THE DECISIONS ARE COMING!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!</p>
<p>why the hell am i watching the namesake this evening?
if you look at the poster they’ve got namesake written in bengali as well…not knowing that namesake in bengali would be pronounced nameshake!</p>
<p>WHAT AM I SAYING!!! THE DECISIONS ARE UPON US!!!</p>
<p>i was reading this marquez short story this morning and…</p>
<p>WHY AM I DIGRESSING!!! THE ‘NEW’ IDES OF MARCH ARRIVES!!! BE WARNED!!!</p>
<p>:) Tense taemi? (My brother saw the Namesake yesterday, apparently it’s brilliant)</p>
<p>by the by, that marquez short story was ‘the day after saturday’…meaning sunday, basically</p>
<p>why did the translators use the word miasmic to describe a guys sleep?..i understood everybody was all hot and sweaty but MIASMIC…how bad did those guys stink???</p>
<p>Foggy prose I presume? (sorry for the atrocious pun. :))</p>
<p>it better be good…a lot of it was shot in my city…creating massive traffic jams in the process</p>
<p>and Shrivats, i’m not tense, i dont care when my hopkins rejection email arrives…i’m just waiting for the 29th…
:-)</p>
<p>yeah, foggy prose! and the town was supposed to have been dry and barren…no swamp in sight…oh! well</p>
<p>March is a miserable month…just look what happenned to Caesar (although they did follow another calendar then…</p>
<p>sigh! I guess the duke emails were random after all. I hate such dullness.</p>
<p>Dullness? It’s sparked posts after posts. (Do the adcoms at Duke even know that they’ve caused this much hysteria? :))</p>
<p>haha… I wonder how many times they proof-read the emails to avoid confusions and conspiracies.</p>
<p>dulness, because the different timings thing ended up being no secret message :)</p>
