The Indian Thread (TiT) #18

<p>lmao yeah you know it…</p>

<p>ayoo, anything i can do to grow maybe an inch or two?
i’m trying jumproping and stretching</p>

<p>@bubbles: How did you manage that?</p>

<p>@tippu: shut up, please. -_-</p>

<p>I’m watching the FIFA kickoff ceremony… It’s pathetic.</p>

<p>eating very very little and running like 4-6 miles
and doing a couple crunches and stretching</p>

<p>i’m trying to do more crunches and squats and lunges though</p>

<p>^ hope u r not anorexic. i m not joking. i’ve seen several girls who got obsessed with weight. they were not dumb. parents were too busy to notice what was going on. take care.</p>

<p>im actually obsessed with food. but i need to lose some weight. im seeing all my friends and most importantly my crush this summer. i need to look good!</p>

<p>once i reach my goal, imma go back to eating normally… </p>

<p>and god no, i would never be anorexic</p>

<p>Is anybody giving Placement exams for college?</p>

<p>^ everyone will have to. they don’t trust the indian system :P</p>

<p>At uchicago all have to take placement test(s). Some are mandatory and some are optional. They keep stressing that no preparation is necessary for these tests.</p>

<p>STILL NO APPOINTMENT. >:-(</p>

<p>Major panic.</p>

<p>I did give my placement exams. Maths was like 10 th grade ish. Chem was a bit more on the information based questionish side. </p>

<p>And yeah harvard I got mine on the 31st of may. But looks like I may have to request another one because the Indian passport has a weird format. But maybe I won’t. Mumbai has a few interview dates :)</p>

<p>Do you think I should call Brown to inquire about my I-20, or do I leave it as it is for a couple more days?</p>

<p>@Ansrox: Instead of applying again for an I-20, why don’t you go to your local USIEF and have them check your stuff for correctness? This way you will save both time and effort!</p>

<p>Hey nice idea Harvey!
Hey anyone here attending the pre departure orientation in Mumbai on the 9th of July??
When r y’all approx leaving forthe USA?
Why in the name of god are the fares so high right now!?
Any body accompanying y’all to the us?
I’m asking no one to coz I’d save the money anyways coz relatives in the us are picking me up and helping me move in so do y’all think it’s necessary?</p>

<p>^How many days did it take UofM to process your application for an I-20? Please overlook my desperation, but envisioning you guys waving your I-20s is agonizing!</p>

<p>harvard7: call these guys up-</p>

<p>[Office</a> of International Student and Scholar Services](<a href=“http://www.brown.edu/Administration/OISSS/]Office”>http://www.brown.edu/Administration/OISSS/)</p>

<p>^Thanks a lot blue_box for the link! </p>

<p>But, before calling and bugging the OISSS, I would like to have a vague idea about the average processing time required for an I-20. This ways I will be able to better present my case. Can someone share this information with me?</p>

<p>Harvard I think you should contact the authorities, don’t be so hesitant 'bout contacting them. They won’t hold your desperation against you, it is understandable and you’d be surprised how responsive and eager-to-help they really are! :)</p>

<p>harvard, I called JHU a fortnight back, inquiring about my I-20 and all they said was " We can’t tell you about the status of your I-20 but you will receive the I-20 in a timely manner."</p>

<p>You should call them but I think you might get a similar response.</p>

<p>Why is Brown SOOOOO late with the I-20? :O</p>

<p>Hey gary…are you done with your visa interview??? How was it???</p>

<p>No, its on 21st, New Delhi</p>
