<p>^ FACT: Nobody requiring more than 50% financial aid has any safeties. So don’t fret.</p>
<p>OMG dude SSK 91, i just saw ur stats profile and i am BLOWN away. Kinda depresses me for myself cuz im applying to cornell and all with …ugh…my stats. But hey, good luck man, u should TOTALLY get in to a top top school!</p>
<p>@ game : I don’t think ANYONE is pay more than 50% of the cost. :S</p>
<p>Just a general question: How long do you think it will take to get a return on your foreign college education, if you work in Pakistan after graduating and assuming you partly/wholly financed your education?
I know many of you have science A-Levels subjects and are more inclined to go into engineering e.t.c but for me, its most likely that I will get into banking and I can see my education paying itself off in around 10 years. :O</p>
<p>nrmncpr, I’m also an accounts, economics student. I don’t have any idea how long it would take for our education to pay off. =/</p>
<p>Might take a while. The recession will get a lot worse before it gets any better.</p>
<p>*Why is it that the only picture I can portray of the future is so ***in’ gloomy? :(</p>
<p>Hey people! So when are we all going to hear about decisions? MIT announced their date is 14th March, and my other colleges are 29th March/1st April…how about you guys? Who is waiting to hear about decisions? Do we agree to post decisions here? I mean, I will, but do others have problems with this for fears of security? :)</p>
<p>I am posting mine in advance: MIT- Accepted, Yale- Accepted, Harvard- Accepted. Unfortunately I am going to have make some tough choices this summer :)</p>
<p>^ BTW, cuz there is always someone who doesn’t get it, the above post is wishful thinking.</p>
<p>^^lol!</p>
<p>so who else?</p>
<p>Count.Me.In</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to any <em>prestigious</em> (putting stars adds to the prestige 
) Ivies or MIT, Stanford… I have a decision on 15 March, all the rest will be on 1 April, I guess. Just waiting.</p>
<p>talha, which one is the March one? maybe its the same for me and I don’t know :D</p>
<p>Why don’t you guys make a calender of sorts in your mobile, PC or diary? Everyone here at least has a mobile so.</p>
<p>Its Furman University, Flibb. Their applications went up bigtime! It started off as my safety, but not anymore. 
Four guys from my school have applied there, and they all have better stats than me.</p>
<p>@ theGame, I really don’t want to! The decisions are already gut-churning for me, as it is. I’ve been watching movies to keep my mind off the whole thing. =/</p>
<p>Oh, by the way, you mentioned mobile phones, and it just came to my mind. Guys watch this movie … *Into the Wild<a href=“I%20don’t%20know%20why%20I’m%20mentioning%20this%20here,%20but%20its%20worth%20a%20watch!”>/I</a> :P</p>
<p>P.S. its this story of a guy who graduated from Emory. Makes it hell a lot more interesting. Ha ha! :D</p>
<p>i think everybody will post … either way. i mean what else can we do.</p>
<p>i have started the download talha. I dont know how how i keep missing sean penn movies. perhaps because he writes more than he acts.</p>
