<p>It will be interesting to find out how this plays out in April. US is going through really tough times and my gut feeling is that more people will opt for cheaper state run schools this year.</p>
<p>yeah, money is a big issue. </p>
<p>@charles r u applying for financial aid?</p>
<p>yes unfortunately. a large chunk of it too.</p>
<p>oh, how does the financial process work then for students coming from india?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was thinking of that smiley on msn. The one thats cheeks are green and it’s making vomity faces. Yeah, weird association with green.</p>
<p>It works pretty much the same fp, we have our forms and everything, it’s just more competitive as they have less FA to give to international students. The process is more or less the same though.</p>
<p>And don’t worry charles, you’ll probably get into one of your top choices and then not regret anything anymore. All iz well.</p>
<p>Zoobi doooo pAram paaaaa
so deep-I almost cried</p>
<p>zoobi dooobi PARAM paa?</p>
<p>Yes yes very funny. I’ve heard that joke atleast a zillion times by now.</p>
<p>I can’t BELIEVE Williams has suddenly become need-aware.</p>
<p>Its also gone from no-loan to loan if your income is over a certain amount. So has Dartmouth. Kinda sucks.</p>
<p>Ah, I knew Williams was stupid. :p</p>
<p>You still applied <em>disappointed</em> Way to betray Amherst.</p>
<p>I think I might’ve accidentally not applied, actually! I haven’t gotten a confirmation email or anything. I’m pretty sure I just…forgot. :S</p>
<p>Haha are you serious? That would be LOL. But didn’t you send your scores and stuff.</p>
<p>I did, I did!</p>
<p>…I think. I got my sister to send everything cause I didn’t even want to look at my scores or think about anything college-related for a while after I found out about my Dad. So I’m not sure. :p</p>
<p>I regret not applying to Williams and Amherst. And Princeton. And Stanford. 
:(</p>
<p>Why didn’t you apply to Amherst?</p>
<p>I regret nothing anymore.</p>
<p>Haha @ Quasi. Screw Williams. That’s all I’m gonna say.</p>
<p>anurag why do you regret applying to all those colleges? well you cant do anything about it now.</p>
<p>College of Engineering in Guindy (Madras University or whatever it is called now) was established in 1794, about 74 years before MIT came into being.</p>
<p>Here is a remarkable [Guindy</a> graduate](<a href=“http://www.rediff.com/money/2005/may/04spec.htm]Guindy”>Thiagarajan's trail-blazing invention!).</p>
