<p>@Kriti: Good advice that. I’m not sure if I should take it though, it being, well advice. 
(Abandons circuitous statements. :))</p>
<p>Seriously though, yes, we will decide by ourselves in the end. But it never hurts to get other points of view, and besides it’s a nice conversation starter.</p>
<p>“To Random person on the street: I’ve been accepted to 8 colleges and don’t know what to do! Help meeeeee!!! :)”</p>
<p>Kind of, makes for sparkling conversation and repartee.</p>
<p>@fuzzy: Thanks for the (well I can’t call it advice now, so) tip. We’re considering all of these factors and we’ll make our decision, sometime in the next 10 days…</p>
<p>shri- try posting on other boards as well.</p>
<p>@SP: Been there done that. (Though that’s such a terribly cliched sentence that I’m almost ashamed to type it. :))</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Shrivats…you’re behaving like a Mac !</p>
<p>1000 posts on The Indian Thread</p>
<p>I’m now an Indian Senior! Or a Senior Indian, or well, something!</p>
<p>Bow you people! Scrape! (Or just y’know, ignore this post :))</p>
<p>I think one of you should start Tit#16. 500 pages should be the limit.</p>
<p>That sentence is very handy though it is cliched.</p>
<p>congrats shri! quite a feat…</p>
<p>Ignoring seems a nice option, but since I said that, I haven’t ignored it.</p>
<p>I can make circuitous statements too, hahahahahaha!</p>
<p>What post ? :D</p>
<p>Yeah, what’re you all on about? :p</p>
<p>@Simba: We’ve sort of agreed that we’ll start it come the next admissions cycle. (August or thereabouts)…</p>
<p>That’s when an influx of people from the class of 2012, and that’s when the Indian Thread’s traditionally inaugurated…</p>
<p>That’s due to the fact that we need a certain critical mass (about 5-6), to keep the thread going…</p>
<p>Nice to see you here though… (As opposed to the Parents’ Forum :))</p>
<p>Thanks all you people. I can feel the adulation from a mile off. (Or 1000 miles off, or whatever distance you’re off me from) </p>
<p>See, I can make vaguely non-grammatical statements too. :D</p>
<p>Let’s aim for 10,000 posts on TiT 15. It’s never been done before except for word association games and the like.</p>
<p>I agree with Shrivats, we’ll start the new one when they’re people out there to continue it. :p</p>
<p>I think we need to start a “No-nonsense Indian Thread” where everyone can post their 2 cents on the college admissions process. Advice particularly directed to future Indian applicants will be appreciated.</p>
<p>I’m not sure even a word association thread ever reached our proportions. I mean if you combine all the IT’s, (or all the TiT’s, but I just hate redundancy :)), you’ll end up with around what, 50000 posts? :D</p>
<p>10000 should be just about right though. :D</p>
<p>@SP: We are doing that actually, at some time which we’ll decide by consensus. We’re making a “Guide to International College Admissions from those who’ve been there” kind of thread. Let’s not restrict it to India though. Even though it’ll primarily be Indians who’ll post on it. (The International Forum’s got a very high percentage of us :))</p>
<p>Remember in January when we set a target of 2000 posts for the month and we didn’t get it?</p>
<p>I’ll put my “The Spammer Is Here” t-shirt on. :D</p>
<p>@spacipirate…I’ll post my three cents ! 
(Dear dear…need to control my PJs)</p>
