<p>hello everyone
are all of u frm america??</p>
<p>Hey nomad,
No, I am not frm US. I dunno about others.</p>
<p>nomad, only a few of us r from america. i think most r from india. so, u r in the right place for some good advice. gary7, QuasiProfound, meghna and a few others have all gotten into very good universities and we can all learn from their experience.</p>
<p>hey wanderer, what will be ur major @ jhu?</p>
<p>ok tippu so where r u frm and wat r u doing currently?</p>
<p>nomad, i m from us. i m currently waiting for school to get over. i m not ready for college.</p>
<p>so ur in 12th grade.
u are planning to take a gap year??</p>
<p>@tippu- I am undecided but it has to be something in the sciences. And no, it is not pre-med, in case you thought that. What about you, which college?</p>
<p>nomad, you said you are taking IIT coaching away frm home. Are you in Kota?</p>
<p>ya i’m at kota
I fear before i go to either iit or mit this heat is going to kill me…aarghh</p>
<p>i m undecided too. keeping an open mind. that’s the beauty of american education. u can do chow-chow mix.</p>
<p>But how are you going to take care of your extracurriculars if you are in Kota? With all that hectic schedule of classes and assignments, it will be very difficult. How are you managing?</p>
<p>yeah tippu, thatz why i decided to come to US for undergrad. But which college are you going to?</p>
<p>i m not going to college this yr. i don’t have admission, so idk. i m just a nomad looking for some direction.</p>
<p>In high school, we all are like that.</p>
<p>good night! keep the thread growing.
sorry for the excess spamming last night. ans was right. i had too much sugar.</p>
<p>i have already got some extracurricular activities upto tenth like i mentioned before and i’m going to give the phy, astronomy, informatics and maths olympiad this year hopefully i’ll get selected in one of them. And yeah the life is really hectic. What more extracurriculars are needed please tell me.
@tippu :p</p>
<p>With only olympiads as your achievements, you would come across as too nerdy. It is always better to have a well rounded personality. Pick up anything else that interests you. It could be volunteering, playing an instrument, theater and so on.There are so many options. But remember, do something that interests you and not just because it will help you get into a good college.</p>
<p>oh yeah i think i have all of that for example i won the regional spell bee, then i was the director of my school rotary club and did a lot of social service, then i also passed scouts exam, also i was the overall incharge of my school
These are some of the things what more do i need can u pls tell</p>
<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>@tippu, you dont have any admission offers or did you simply not apply? :</p>
