<p>great chances!Really Nice ECs!</p>

<p>Well you have posted chances in every other Ivy Board. Are you sure where you want to go? Which city are you from? And when will that book be published?! :D</p>

<p>BTW The ISRO comeptition you are talking about is the one that was held in October last year?</p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>Youre a freshman right now. I would just take as many challenging courses as you can, and do well in them :). Also, concentrate on something you're really passionate about when it comes to ECs. Looks like you have already though :)</p>

<p>Right now it's too early to tell.</p>

4

<p>Im from bangalore...not really sure about which university i want to attend yet.</p>

5

<p>ah wonderful! am in Calcutta now :) which board does your school follow? and yeah you didn't answer my ISRO question :p </p>

<p>For Law I would suggest to go for Northwestern! It has an awesome Law program!</p>

<p>Somehow I don't believe him ... can you please show some proof regarding that book of yours?</p>

<p>And every Indian school already has a council I can't see how you can start one..</p>

<p>And about those distinction certificates...that is just boasting almost 500 students get distinction.. [for SOF]</p>

<p>GPA? Indian school? Are you kidding me?</p>

<p>Just my views I maybe wrong.</p>

<p>Regarding my book, gimme ur email ID ill send you a draft of the first chapter.</p>

<p>The book is due in the coming months.</p>

<p>You probably misread the bit about the council I didnt "start". I am part of the student council.</p>

<p>As far as SOF is considered, I didnt know that, but since it is an all india event distinction (within top 500) is pretty good. </p>

<p>Im under the IGCSE syllabus and get grades not % marks. My school gave me a GPA as well.</p>

<p>Ajay, the one Im talking about was held in bangalore in 2004 or 2005.</p>

<p>Ill probably be taking part in a few more olympiads if my school permits
( we dont have many of those here, dunno why)</p>

<p>Agent Bond: Eat that :p</p>

<p>Chari : Nice! I didnt give the Science Olympiad by SOF, though I gave their National Cyber Olympiad, National 3rd Rank. :) </p>

<p>I wonder why schools in Bangalore dont allow Olympiads. I was in Baldwin Boys there. Though I was in Class I i still remember seniors running around to give olympiad. What school are you in?</p>

<p>Im in Mallya Aditi. I think I should seek the teachers out and ask them to get the reg form etc.</p>

<p>We will see.</p>
