<p>Paki,
Stalking ka kesay karna hai?
Now that the cat is out of the bag, I also applied to Andover and Exeter because college applications are extremely unpredictable, and fortunately, I got into both of them. :)</p>
<p>And I PM’ed you as well. Tum incognito hee raho yar.</p>
<p>^ wasn’t stalking you dude. when you came back to this thread those, and that bravia stuff, were your most recent posts. so until yesterday i thought you were a ■■■■■. i’ll say it again if it makes you happy though, i was wrong. :)</p>
<p>did you apply to exeter for a PG year?</p>
<p>LOL alright.
For some odd reason, I was admitted to the Upper year at Exeter.
But I got in as a Senior at Andover.</p>
<p>And have you joined the ‘secret group’ on Facebook yet?</p>
<p>are you an athlete? if so, taking an extra year at Andover/Exeter is a very good decision. </p>
<p>where else have you applied? (colleges, not prep schools)</p>
<p>Pakistan wins, Manchester United wins, Arsenal draws, I can now call it a day! :)</p>
<p>@incarcerated, pakipower — Were you guys given financial aid for UChicago? if yes, then how much is your expected contribution?</p>
<p>^^ nope, and most probably wont until i’m done deciding which school to attend. </p>
<p>but i saw the admitted students’ website which seems like a glorified version of FB lol. btw, check the mark your spot section - the total tally of accepted pakistanis is 8 this year. somewhat huge increase from previous years.</p>
<p>murtaza: around 34K, which is actually more than i expected. :)</p>
<p>I used to play a lot before but BDC doesn’t have what you’d call amazing sports facilities. I’m weighing my options. Year at Andover/Exeter or not.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I get what you mean. If you’re not an athlete, and are just looking for the best school in terms of college placements, check out Collegiate.</p>
<p>Lol, I looked into similar options - taking a PG year - last year, but then decided against it during the summer. Interesting coincidence. :)</p>
<p>I checked Collegiate, but it’s only a day school.
Boarding school has it’s own aura.</p>
<p>^ True that. </p>
<p>But I think I’m past that whole fascination with it all. </p>
<p>UChicago (or any of my other top choices) seems much more attractive to me right now.</p>
<p>P.S: Exeter, in my opinion, has a greater BS experience if you’re looking for that since it’s so cut off. (lol, I can’t believe people not going to school can live in NH)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t disagree. But I like Andover more. Much more relaxed than Exeter.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, me too. Not that I even ended up applying but all my correspondence with A was a lot more personal so I liked that.</p>
<p>Good luck with your decision! You really can’t go wrong here. :)</p>
<p>You too man. :)</p>
<p>Wow Speedyz, you were right. Another person from Roots got waitlisted by UChicago (though he had a 2280 SAT, not 1890 and a lot of ECs).</p>

<p>UChicago wait-listed a ton of people this year. Some have been speculating that this has to do with the ‘Tufts Syndrome’ but I don’t buy it. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>Speedyz, I see you’ve applied to williams. What chances man?</p>
<p>^ “What chances” that another person applied to Williams from Pakistan? :/</p>
<p>I don’t believe UChicago has got the infamous “Tufts syndrome”. But, I’m sure Trinity University in Texas is suffering with that disease. :D</p>
<p>So…pakipower…will you be attending UChicago?? Had I been in your place, I would have gone crazy by this time. UChicago is absolutely awesome. The awesomest college I’ve ever seen. :)</p>
<p>No. I was inquiring as to what he feels about his chances?</p>
