<p>^I live close by and they asked me to come by 9:30 in the morning. Only the registration process starts at 9. The actual program commences at 10, I believe!</p>
<p>Sounds good. I’ll try to be there at 9 30 then.</p>
<p>did any of you go for the orientation today? what was it about?</p>
<p>harvy, no they didn’t ask me for my financial docs. I took them along, but he didn’t look at them at all. He did look at my financial aid award from Smith and ask if I would’ve gone without a full ride, to which I said no.</p>
<p>I took bank statements, income tax returns, 9-12 transcripts, DS-160, confirmation of the visa appt, the HDFC statement, the I-20, SAT scores, acceptance letter and financial aid award letter. If I’ve missed out anything, people please feel free to jump in. Good luck harvy, we’re rooting for you :)</p>
