<p>Infact I'm a computer hardware wizard and latest technology analyst. I'm not other type of comp. geek - i'm basically hardware bounded + gaming guy, and a lil sporty.</p>

<p>porkey.. u and i seem to have similar interests..except swimming that is...and your top 5% rank seems quite good to me...just get a working score in your ACT... i think then u will have a pretty good shout at colleges...</p>

<p>maichang where all are you applying?</p>

<p>why are there so few nepalese around here?</p>

<p>how much is everybody going to pay in college?</p>

<p>Applying to Elmira. Can get full tuition scholarship ($29000).</p>

<p>what are your stats buddha.. and where else are you applying?</p>

<p>Anyone else with amazing stats????????? I'll get demoralized if I see one more amazing stats.</p>

<p>i won't ask your stats comfy...its hard to find 'normal' guys here in CC...</p>

<p>I've got a stats profile shailesh , you can see that.</p>

<p>And , shail619 , you said you were the House captain in class 10 and the deputy house captain in class 10. Is that true????????</p>

<p>absolutely...why would i bluff here?</p>

<p>class 9-deputy house captain

<p>hey, generic.. ur SATs are not in the mid range of dartmouth....so, u should try to do better in the december tests....but, i think ur ECs are good...so, ECs,recos and a good essay can shadow ur sat scores(after all SATs are not the only thing considered for admission).... Good luck for Dartmouth man</p>
