<p>Freakozoid and Mathsfreak both of you genuinely deserved to go MIT :(. I feel very sorry for you guys. Lets wait for 1st April to hear some good news from you guys :)</p>

1624

<p>yeah… sorry for all our big CC’ers as hafiz mentioned above…
btw, does anyone know the stats of the girl who got in MIT??</p>

1625

<p>An excerpt:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>should be quite the experience.</p>

<p>omair, we’ll have to our resident grammarian, S2daGh, fill us in on that.</p>

<p>lol, con2015, so true. how’s it going over in Nepal?</p>

1626

<p>freako, did you get accepted into U of T?</p>

1627

<p>that must have been an experience of a lifetime :smiley: ^^</p>

1628

<p>i know, right? :D</p>

<p>i wonder if there comes a time when the experience becomes mundane.</p>

1629

<p>Hey guys, random 2013’er butting in to see if any of the fine folk from this thread applied to Haverford college…</p>

1630

<p>do you go to Haverford? if so, how would you describe your time there thus far?</p>

<p>P.S: i applied.</p>

1631

<p>Soooo… who wants to become the next Tom Cruise?? :D</p>

1632

<p>Ummm unproctored take-home exams, seeing nba games at the college’s expense, all-nighters being the norm rather than the exception (alright, that’s an exaggeration :p), classes which can be both incredibly engaging and mind-numbingly challenging, it’s hard to describe in a forum like this. Anyway, do you know anyone who applied?</p>

1633

<p>^ One did from Beaconhouse Defence.</p>

1634

<p>^^ yeah, it seems like a pretty amazing place. did you choose it over any other LAC? i’ve applied to a few, and might actually need your help in 2 weeks if i get lucky and get into a bunch of them. :D</p>

<p>see my edited post.</p>

1635

<p>@pakipower Nothing much yaar…just heard so many rejections from MIT…soooo many awesome guys were rejected this year. Thank god, I didn’t apply! :p</p>

1636

<p>Check this out too. Whattay wimp.</p>

<p>[Manhattan</a> mom sues $19K/yr. preschool for damaging 4-year-old daughter’s Ivy League chances](<a href=“http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2011/03/14/2011-03-14_manhattan_mom_sues_19kyr_preschool_for_damaging_4yearold_daughters_ivy_league_ch.html]Manhattan”>http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2011/03/14/2011-03-14_manhattan_mom_sues_19kyr_preschool_for_damaging_4yearold_daughters_ivy_league_ch.html)</p>

1637

<p>Cool, i’ll be back in mid-april to see if the guy/girl got in. It amazes me that more Pakistanis don’t apply here, considering we’re the only college in the whole country to have a varsity cricket team. Good luck with all your decisions, and don’t be sucked in by the vortex of despair in case you’re rejected, you’ll mess your A-levels! Just remember, there’s always grad school ;)</p>

1638

<p>Haha…A thread has been created in the parents forum regarding that news:</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1102979-manhattan-mom-sues-19k-yr-preschool-damaging-daughters-ivy-league-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1102979-manhattan-mom-sues-19k-yr-preschool-damaging-daughters-ivy-league-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

1639

<p>I really hope you get in pp, definitely get in touch if you need advice. I have class in 30 min so I really have to go, I’ll probably drop by on the weekend.
Good luck guys!</p>

1640

<p>so, just because we’re Pakistani, we should be attracted to a college with a cricket team?! dude, that’s just so racist. lol Jk.</p>

<p>i think fewer people apply to LACs in general from Pakistan because these colleges aren’t exactly known for their engineering programs. we, as a people, tend to have a pre-professional bent.</p>

<p>EDIT: thanks aak! :)</p>
