The official Pakistani Thread for the class of 2013

<p>I am…tell us where you have applied, aak!</p>

<p>Me as well</p>

<p>Me too. :)</p>

<p>I think almost all the Community Colleges have never had Pakistani’s enrolled, but then again, who would wanna end up at a community college?</p>

<p>Nah. Some Pakistanis do use the community-college-to-Ivy-league approach. Can’t say it always works, but I know of at least one girl who studied at a community college in California and now is completing her final yr at Cal Berkeley. Not bad, but she didn’t require aid so.</p>

<p>I think we underestimate the very fine Polytechnics in the States. Places like Rensselaer, CalPoly, etc. Of course WPI is big here though.</p>

<p>Rensselaer, CalPoly are a few of the best tech institutions there are :)</p>

<p>^ But few ppl know. You’re an exception, as most ppl here on CC are :D</p>

<p>Oop! Looks like I didn’t follow up on my post yesterday! </p>

<p>A few clarifications: I’m not Indian; India rubber is another term for natural rubber. :slight_smile:
I am also not male… and only honorarily Pakistani ( I went to Froebel’s for two years… my Urdu is,alas, truly borderline… I’m Italian in origin but I’m a fan of your culture, for what it counts). Finally, I’m not optimistic about ivy results at all! Just anxious to close this particular chapter in my life, and start a new one. </p>

<p>Perhaps I <em>am</em> in the wrong thread! Apologies to anyone I upset, and many thanks to theGame for sticking up for me.</p>

<p>I’m confident you’ll all do wonderfully :)</p>

To be honest, I originally applied to the US on a whim as I had my heart set on LUMS for a pretty long time. Now LUMS looks a lot less appealing.
I’ve applied to only three colleges: ND, carleton and haverford. Don’t really think I stand much of a chance because my stats are okay without being unique and I applied for FA.</p>

<p>^ Roll in your stats, and we’ll chance you like experts :)</p>

<p>I’ve spent the past 15 min reading all the posts on this thread and you people seem to be a pretty knowledgeable bunch.</p>

<p>Let’s see how quickly you answer this:which LAC has the highest SAT math range amongst accepted students?</p>

<p>@IndiaRubber: Do let us know of your decisions! I think you have a fair chance at the Ivy league because of the diverse hybrid of backgrounds you will bring to campus. Best of luck!</p>

<p>OK, not knowledgeable or anything, but Williams?</p>

<p>wow i really missed quite alot in the thread so spent a good 10 minutes on it :slight_smile:

<p>Oh, Deep Springs College has the Highest SAT scores, but we can’t call it a college, or a university. Its something weird!</p>

<p>ND = You’re not Christian
Carleton = O/A Levels low
Haverford = SAT II low</p>
