HOW THE HELL CAN YOU CLEAR ALL THREE???
What are your score in PCA?
Are you on aops? Did you go to SSP/ISSYP/RSI?</p>
<p>Hey, esconie.</p>
<p>Thatās very brave of you to take APās. I believe you took it as a private candidate. I know how difficult it is to do something like that. Iām doing A-Levels as a private candidate. So I have to study for both CBSE and GCE A-Levels and find it extremely difficult.</p>
<p>And best of luck with MIT.</p>
<p><em>confused</em>
You can, if youāre just scraping throughā¦my scores A 60, C 60, P 49ā¦dangerously near the cut offs in all 3? No Iām not on AOPS (who is?!) and I have no clue what SSP/ISSYP are, RSI wasnāt taking people fro India our year :(</p>
<p>Thanks Karottu, it helps that my state boards are ridiculously easy 
Best of luck to you for your exams :)</p>
<p>@esconie: So Stanford is your first preference, right. Did you apply for Fin Aid there? I reckon they do not have a need-blind admission policy for internationals.</p>
<p>And, may I ask, which state board are you doing? </p>
<p>CBSE is virtually killing me, plus Iām the School Leader of a school. True, I can put that as an EC, but by June (when my A-Level exams will be over) there will be nothing left of me.</p>
<p>Just got into UCLA :). Iād rather not discuss finances.</p>
<p>I guess, I have to respect your privacy. Sorry for asking.</p>
<p>Congrats with UCLA. You are truly amazing.</p>
<p>Itās alright. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Got into McGill as well =]</p>
<p>Congrats esconie!!! :-D</p>
<p>what are your scores</p>
<p>Got into USC, UIUC, Northeaster, Bentley, Case Western and Ohio stateā¦</p>
<p>still waiting to here from the restā¦</p>
<p>anyone else applied to similar schools?</p>
<p>Business Major btwā¦</p>
<p>Amazing dudeā¦ Wowā¦</p>
<p>thisismyhandle- Awesome acceptances! </p>
<p>But, do you realize that your username has some serious sexual innuendos attached to it ;). I hope you do well wherever you go!!</p>
<p>Congrats thisismyhandle! Handle it gently ;)</p>
<p>Thanx all, I have a feeling uniās are being excessively kind to International applicants this year for the cash.</p>
<p>@thebigcheese121: lol I donāt see a connotation, it was more like handle as in internet alias. Help me out thereā¦</p>
<p>Ciao</p>
<p>@handle- Congrats, but I think youāre just too good. This is supposed to be the worst year in terms of FA to Intlā students!</p>
<p>Rejected from Caltechā¦sign of things to come???</p>
<p>let me assure you, i am an average studentā¦ my scores would reflect thatā¦ they are just after my $$$ā¦</p>
<p>
I thought it meant in GIVING you cash 
@Karottu- Relax. The admissions have been crazy this time. People wirth internatonal olympiad medals, personality and ECs have been rejected. VERY random.</p>
<p>got rejected at Caltechā¦im sure a sign of things to comeā¦</p>
