<p>OMG just went through that DPS site. They've listed so many people as having 95% scholarships at UBER TOP universities.. *** look at this, for example..</p>

<p>Ankit Prasad
Computer & Electrical Engineering Cornell, Duke, Rice, Dartmouth, Colgate, Iowa State, University of Arizona 95% Scholarship at Duke, Dartmouth & Colgate; full tuition at Rice University; 70% tuition scholarship at Iowa State, U Arizona</p>

<p>I wonder if they've fudged the data or is it actually possible for so many of their students to get pretty much a full ride everywhere possible.</p>

<p>Hmm.. almost half of the students in that list have applied to Drexel.</p>

62

<p>Wel they do have some good kids...bt then again..with almost 1000 students in a batch..not a big surpise</p>

63

<p>Waitlisted, lol better than I expected, It means I actually had a chance maybe I'll get in somewhere else... Hopefully MIT!</p>

64

<p>250 people per year seems like a gross overestimate! :D Seriously, I studied there for a year. And the school's definitely good, but not that good! My school has just sent one person to MIT last year, and I think thats about it. Partly because most people prefer staying in India rather than going abroad for studies. Not me though!</p>

65

<p>Not any of us, lol!</p>

66

<p>And my bloody school will see me as the first person to go for something like this in USA...Amrica as they say.
If only we could have our 5 years back, I would have got into a boarding school in US and then things would have been better. 3 people i know have taken this step and I think that's wise.</p>

67

<p>It would be nice to think about all this, but fact is, its not going to do us any help whatsoever. Sad, isnt it?</p>

68

<p>And I would have switched to IB had I known.</p>
