<p>sucharita how the hell did you get rejected by HYS? Your stats on TIT are amazing!!!!!!!</p>
<p>search this site for the decisions threads around april and see how many awesome people (more awesome than me at any rate) were rejected by HYPS...</p>
<p>For example, this thread</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>aawww...dont say tht such, or else i will have to be nicer to u on the campus and wont be able to call u ms. p... :p</p>
<p>i thought this was bout ronty...</p>
<p>ronty, i stick to my words - apply to as many schools as u can and u will get into few...at tht time, select which 1 do u want to go to...it is much better for u to have tht choices, rather than the colleges...</p>
<p>all of us are unique applicants...my uniqueness was that i was an average kid, albeit average in a lot of thing(stats, ecs, etc.) so tht could have helped.
also, the only passion tht i have exhibited to colleges is the passion to get into those colleges. thts what counts.
(trust me, i could have said the same thing on april 10th and ppl would have dismissed it as BS, because i was not in pton at tht time...a college acceptance tends to change ppl's perception as well...so tk it with a handful of salt)</p>
<p>ronty007,
I went to neighborhood school in Patna..I think it was called Parambhika or something. Then I just moved around the world. I lived in London, NYC and the midwest of the US and now I am in singapore.</p>
<p>My stats werent that awesome (like people on this board) but if you have above 1360 (on the old SATs scale) and are top 10% in your class, Purdue will give you a scholarship of ~$13,000.</p>
<p>thanx everyone
boomer01 whats ur yahoo ID?
mine is ronty007
i would like to chat with u
Is the scholarship of 13000 dollars for 4 years or for each year...
reply soon</p>
<p>thanx adides...
ur reply has boosted my moral a lot... thanx again</p>
<p>*moral>>>>morale
sorry for the error</p>
<p>Hey people,
Look Ronty we had a good word..and what adi is saying is perfectly correct coz the counsellors say this too.
More the colleges=more your chances of acceptances.
For the simple reason that each college likes a type of applicants.
So it can very well be possible that you might get rejected at Brown or Columbia and get into Pton coz you are a kind of kid they want to have on their campus.</p>
<p>Hey people I thought you might like to give in the names of few colleges which offer good amt of scholarships to intl's (engg.).</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with the above statement. I was surprised to find on the link Sucharita provided, that people who got into MIT and Harvard were rejected by Yale and Princeton. </p>
<p>You know my marks are pretty good, almost comparable to sucharita's(lol not quite there yet) and my ranking will be something like 6/600(yeah my junior college is pretty big).I got my short story in an Intl Writing Contest, did a little bit of Inter house sports but mostly its all about maths quizzes and stuff. Hopefullly Ill get into Brown, RPI and maybe even Cornell.</p>
<p>Forget Cornell if you're looking for 40K in aid, they are extremely stingy.</p>
<p>dude, if u have such-like-sats, good rank, math quizes etc. apply to ur top choice ED/EA. Colleges on west coast (caltech, stanford, berk) tend to be more stats focused if you arent asking for financial aid.
if you are interested in brown...go for it...it is the best i <3 brown and maybe was the only college that i was disappointed that i did not get admitted into...try to contact watercannon on this forum, he is from ambani and going to brown (he dont frequent as much but he is illbeback's buddy, so u can track him down)
ur jc has 600 kids?? which 1 do u go to? town or suburbs?</p>

<p>yeah check the posts by [mercurysquad[/url</a>] and [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=538991&postcount=167%5D%5Bi%5Dshash_rao%5B/i%5D%5B/url">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=538991&postcount=167]*shash_rao*[/url</a>], it was only after reading those stats that I realised that my CBSE board exams deserved some more attention :D</p>
<p>And [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=535137&postcount=148%5Dthis">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=535137&postcount=148]this</a> one](<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=547737&postcount=196%5D%5Bi%5Dmercurysquad%5B/i%5D%5B/url">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=547737&postcount=196) deserves some special attention</p>
<p>adides why did u apply to so many Colleges? Isn't it costly? I thought ur stats were quite good to get u in a top college. Also, can u compile a list of colleges which have good engg. department and offer scholarship or some sort of Aid to International students?
Sorry for bothering you pal.</p>
<p>admissions is a crapshoot. adides was wise in applying to so many colleges and he picked his matches and safeties wisely , something you should do too. The more schools you apply to, the better your chances of being accepted at atleast one. The importance of this tactic just cannot be emphasized enough.</p>
<p>Also if paying the application fee is a problem get your HS to fill out a fee waiver form.</p>
<p>yeah jai hind SCIENCE alone has 600 kids.
I wanna get into brown cuz of many reasons, mainly cuz of the liberal atmosphere and also that its liberal arts, Im still not sure about engg. and id rather change fields ina liberal arts coll then transfer out of a technical place.</p>
<p>havaldaar your in JAI HIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahahahahah</p>
<p>wait im comin to rag you tomorrow!!!
hahahah this is funny!!!</p>
<p>to think the same college could produce two people with such different viewpoints.. i was in science as well.. </p>
<p>and btw.. jai hind doesnt rank.. so just ask your counselor to put top 10% or whatever... if u need to know anything about jai hind lemme know.. who to get recs from, where to get recs from etc... always glad to help an fellow jai hindite.. </p>
<p>and one more thing- DONT BOTHER WITH YOUR ATTENDENCE. THEY NEVER BOTHER, ALL THEY DO IS THREATHEN YOU. MAKE SURE U ATTEND PRACTICALS AND UR FINE. AND GIVE PROF SALGARE MY LOVE. LOL</p>
<p>wow what fantastic advice.</p>
<p>the meanies in my school used to give surprise tests on the days large numbers of people mysteriously failed to turn up :(</p>
<p>
^ the best thing about mumbai..junior colleges they dont care for your attendance and dude i was in ruia..i didnt attend chem pracs for a single time in the second term (but yeah she did screw me up in my practical marks!!! , so attend the pracs! :D ) but attendance as a whole doesnt matter :)</p>
