<p>There goes my College:</p>
<p>did he come back :p</p>
<p>joking aside, dont worry
pursue some private scholarships!
or, consider other schools that give merit-based aid..and then go to dartmouth for grad school</p>
<p>yeah right merit based aid to me?! forget it...</p>
<p>look, there is no harm in trying to find some alternatives..</p>
<p>yeah I know that but I can't seem to find any private scholarships this is India man...</p>
<p>apply rd to dartmouth. It's not impossible that they'll give you substantial aid.</p>
<p>Dartmouth will cover 100% of your need IF you get accepted. Don't worry too much now, everything will work out in the end and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>How's the SAT Prep going?</p>
<p>Why should he apply RD? I acknowledge that his financial status won't make life easier, but I think everyone who feels like Dartmouth (or whatever university) is the best for him or her should apply early. At least that's what ED is for.</p>
<p>@Rister_Chutophs: When are you going to take the SAT?</p>
<p>Has anyone taken an AP exam?</p>
<p>My SAT prep is going great! I am aiming for atleast 2200 :)</p>
<p>The problem with applying early is that if they reject me during Early one way or the other all the ivies kind of blacklist me..... :( thats what is said in Ivy members statement</p>
<p>danpo, I've taken the SAT I in May (waiting anxiously for scores... was my first time... i actually don't want to retake but i was pretty nervous and everything..i'll see in a few days)</p>
<p>I'm going to take 3 Subject Test in June (same date when ajay takes his SAT I)</p>
<p>you?</p>
<p>ajay, this is wrong! they don't exchange their information; getting rejected by one Ivy early has absolutely no influence on your chances at the other Ivies RD.</p>
<p>well that is what I was thinking. </p>
<p>I think I misunderstood the post somewhere...anyways I will apply ED. Lets see what happens. Doubt is just waste of energy. ;)</p>
<p>to hell with people. I will take the damn risk. I am applying ED :)</p>
<p>If Dartmouth accepts me I am a happy bastard! Otherwise there is always MIT, Stanford or Harvard:D</p>
<p>yeah ajay, don't lose hope. I know you will do great.But best of luckfrom my side.
as for me, i am quite busy with the TOEFL preparations and the Engineering Entrance preparation(though i don't want to do the later one). I am at the crossroads now. But one of my friend there at ktm (who is a member of this thread)is helping me a lot. thanks to ajay for this thread!
and naidu, how r u doing? Hello to debate, rister, renak, and all(i can't type all user names here)
i will be late to reply due to my hectic schedule but anyways, make this thread a smash hit!</p>
<p>the TOEFL? oh well, didn't even think about this monster yet...
i'm really good in suppressing thoughts, doubts, anxities, duties, etc.</p>
<p>What do you think about the importance of SAT Subject Tests for internationals? Can they be of some help, assuming one scores >750, to offset bad grades?</p>
<p>yeah they can. Because international education system being different SAT II provide platform for colleges to measure international student's capability. :)</p>
<p>I don't think the SAT Subject Tests can offset in grades since your grades are still an essential part of your application. I assume that these tests can, however, help to put things into relations. Don't worry about grades though, that's not everything.</p>
<p>I took the AP Physics exam last week and had the same "problem" that you had: I was a bit nervous and I'm afraid that I performed very poor. Anyway, despite the heap of wasted money I think it was a useful experience, because now I'm more or less familiar with standardized tests which will definitely be an advantage when taking the SAT and the TOEFL. I think I'll take that SATs in October and apply early at Stanford, but I'm not sure yet.</p>
<p>I am done with my AP tests!!!! Now I just have this empty feeling.....
I am sure you guys will get into any college you want --> I mean your stats are amazing <--- You guys just don't believe me though!!!!</p>
<p>@ danpo - I took the physics exam too... the last question was just to see if you could waste time :cool: </p>
<p>I'm retaking the SAT's in october too. and I am applying early to Stanford too 0__o</p>
<p>BTW, panos, stop making fun of my username -- I think its going to start crying soon :'(</p>
<p>well I am talking about internationals in general. In india every school has a different question paper for tests. So some might get a easy one and others might get a really difficult one.</p>
<p>ok naidu and danpo will be having a rush at the stanford,i think i will drop out my idea of applying ED to stanford (I am hopeless).Ajay told me that I can't apply to colleges that require SAT II subject tests, but today i made sure of it. I can still apply for an ED to a college that demands SATII, if I send them a letter stating that my SAT II results will be sent directly to them.</p>
