<p>Is there any Slovak over here? As I looked through the threads, I found Indian, Nigerian, Vietnamese threads but no European thread. So here it comes any Slovak join our Slovak thread. However, anyone is welcome.</p>
<p>hey well I'm not quite a Slovak but close - a Czech! I'm quite curious about how the other people from CR or Slovakia or Eastern Europe in general who are applying to US colleges are....are you applying anywhere in the US? where do you study?</p>
<p>Excuse me, I apologize to Bulgarian thread, I did not notice it first. My deep apologies:)</p>
<p>Hi there. Well, yeah I am applying to bunch of US universities. I am studying at IB school in Bratislava. What about you?</p>
<p>the same with me...r u at the GJH? I'm in Vienna - DIS if you know, where r u applying? hell i can't wait till the decisions come out...it's so annoying today a friend of mine got into MIT, another friend's got like 2 acceptances already and I still don't know anything....</p>
<p>Yes, I am at GJH. I am applying to some ivies like Brown, Columbia or Upenn, then also a pair of liberal arts colleges, such as Colgate, Reed or Williams, even though I do not think that I will be accepted. I had to give it a try...pretty much excited though. You?</p>
<p>I do not know DIS though, what type of school is that? IB?And what does DIS stand for? Maybe that would help.</p>
<p>yeah sorry kinda stupid of me:) - DIS= Danube International School, also doing the IB, i think that one teacher from your school (prob. physics one) just went to our school to help the physics students with their internal assessments (we have this Slovak teacher Balkova who knows her)...I also applied to Columbia! well it's a dream....but a nice one:), apart from that I applied to Georgetown, Macalester, Middlebury, Occidental, Lafayette, Earlham, Allegheny and American University. I'm freakin' out, just can't wait anymore....i already got some offers from british unis (UCL,Royal holloway, Essex, Aberdeen) but i can't really afford 2 go there....on the top of that, there's the Czech A oral + exams coming up....i hate it:)</p>
<p>Wasss up Honza? How you doin'? Have you received any decisions yet? Yeah, Orals are pretty difficult...anyways I am still waiting for any answers from colleges. Not a single one repplied yet. Some of my classmates are already admitted. One to Caltech, the other to Richmond and....hmmm...oh two are waitlisted - to Gettysburg and WUSTL</p>
<p>Hey, I've already got some decisions..but not good ones:( i was rejected by Earlham and Occidental so far, but I've got some offers from the British unis: UCL,Essex, Aberdeen, Royal Hollway. rejected by LSE...this week is gonna be the real killer though....</p>
<p>A good friend of mine is slovakian, at Penn. So they are out there and can get in - he receives aid from the university.</p>
<p>Hey, snipanlol. Is it a he or she? What is his/her firtsname? Maybe I do know him/her. I personaly know few Slovaks at Penn, they went to my school.</p>
<p>omg I got into Mcgill!</p>
<p>Congratulations Honza. And what you are going to study?</p>
<p>ahoj, lubos. my best friend at uni in the US is Slovak from your school! So don't give up any hopes... GOOD LUCK! "crossed fingers for you":) What are you guys planing to study?</p>
<p>Thanx manyzhka. Unfortunately, I was rejected by all the us unis I applied to. Anyways...</p>
<p>I was rejected by 7: Occidental, Earlham, Harvard, Columbia, Georgetown, Macalester, Lafayette so far and I gave up my hopes for any acceptances.... :(. God, this year seems to be just terrible for internationals....if you look into the forums around...I don't get this. I was quite disappointed today in the morning, but then ,while thinking abut the whole thing I relized I really want to go to Canada (Mcgill, where I got accepted so far). Although I don't have funds for going there yet, I will do everything for getting them. I have sacrificed a lot to go to a university abroad and I am going whatever it takes. Basta.</p>
<p>Um...I am very sorry for you guys...the admission is ridiculous. When I applied i was also rejected by the colleges you mention. It's just lottery and money...so oh well.</p>
