4

<p>you shouldn't have missed the supplmenent deadline - dancing is probably the only thing that distinguishes you</p>

5

<p>yea i know that kinda worries me but i called the admissions office and they said they would still consider teh credentials i place on the common app so i listed most of the stuff under the "elaborate on one of your extra cirricular activities" section</p>

6

<p>male + indian classical dance? YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY. awesomeeee! we need more male dancers =]</p>

<p>bharathnatyam? kuchipudi?</p>

7

<p>and i love the roommate essay topic you chose! pretty creative</p>

8

<p>kuchipudi lol how about yourself</p>

<p>Unfortunately I don't see it coming unless your essays were of stellar quality. Don't get me wrong here. You are a very solid candidate. Affirmative action just doesn't help you. Being an Indian male, you are up against many serious competitors.
I do wish you the best of luck though. Keep you fingers crossed. I am keeping mine. :)</p>

10

<p>lol i learned bharathnatyam first, did my arangetram, and now i'm learning kuchipudi =]</p>

11

<p>I wouldn't hope for too much. Maybe the dancing would be a tip factor but I've seen a lot of stronger candidates.</p>

<p>Sorry if this is a bit harsh.</p>
