<p>Nope…directly from commonapp!!
I feel very popular…PEOPLE think i did some huge research work…published 4000 new analyses…etc…lol:D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>… ?? What makes you think you’re popular??.. 
Anyway - you’re the only one on this thread who’s done research work that has actually been successfully applied in the real world!! 
(Unless someone else is hiding equally good research work!!)</p>
<p>Did you send Dartmouth a mail regarding the ‘‘incompleteness’’ of your app??</p>
<p>My friends at school…They sound as if i were tom cruise in MI4:) aND NOPE…i thought Id check up once again and then send one…You never know with these teachers</p>
<p>@Rishav
I’m sure you’ll enjoy all the sports! 
football in the snow with a coloured ball.</p>
<p>@Quiver
Well bask in the “glory” 
it might just be the beginning :P</p>
<p>@school
Welcome and where you from? :)</p>
<p>@quiver - Haha!!
Check quickly then -you don’t want to mess up your applications after all this hard work!! :)</p>
<p>@Raith, Football is something I will play irrespective of whether it is -40<em>C or +40</em>C :p</p>
<p>@rishav17, thanks. No cc for him. He has been accepted to A&M’s College of Engineering. So, as far as he is concerrned he is done with the college admissions process.</p>
<p>@perazziman - Ohh!! Congratulations on the acceptance!!
Is A&M his top choice or is it just that he will be happy to attend A&M next fall & hence isn’t too concerned with the rest of the decisions??</p>
<p>@Rishav
We will definitely play football in the cold then 
will be difficult… but fun xP</p>
<p>@Perazziman
Congrats on the acceptance :)</p>
<p>@Raith - Yeah!! 
</p>
<p>Dartmouth accepted my engineering idea abstract!! Yeayy!! :)</p>
<p>Only Upenn wrote back saying that I can submit only a 1 page article! And mine’s 3pgs long!!</p>
<p>@Rishav
Conrats for you there and hope it really helps tie everything together! </p>
<p>Dude, this job shadowing is pretty chilled - not much work (or at least doesn’t feel like it) taking apart this one aircraft (Let E9), currently taking the steering out for maintenance and a conversion to a Let E20. Just undoing a couple nuts and bolts, getting dirty - all the good stuff :P</p>
<p>@Raith - looks like you’re having fun at work!! Haha - that’s good!!
You getting paid?? :p</p>
<p>And hopefully it’ll bump my chances positively!!
Though there is always the chance of it having a negative impact because I wasn’t really mentored or anything… got the transcript reviewed by 4 friends( 2 of them are physics geniuses ) and my brother( who is an engineer) . Bro said that, the theory looked right to him - but the doubted the practical efficiency of the system!! Though he told me to send it in anyway!! :D</p>
<p>@Rishav
Yea it is quite a bit of fun - taking apart the steering column of the plane (19 seater!). And not really being paid- but I believe that my accomodation is free, and I get a food allowancefrom the company) so its good enough. Sounds bad but I really am not doing this to earn money, just experience :)</p>
<p>If I send you my email address would you be cool with sending me your abstract? I’d love to read it!</p>
<p>rishav, He was tracked for alternative schooling. So it is very difficult for him to get into competitive colleges. He is very lucky to get into A&M engineering. However, he received a letter from DC extending the deadline and asking him to apply. So, he did.</p>
<p>How about you? What are you planning on studying at DC and where are you from?</p>
<p>@Raith - Yea, PM your e-mail Id… :)</p>
<p>@perazziman - Ohh!! I guess Dartmouth extended its deadline for a lot of students (so as to increase its no. of apps - which were on a decline due to the hazing incidents!!)!! But they sent it only to ones they were “interested” in maybe cause not everybody got it!!</p>
<p>I’m from India!! You actually chanced me a long time ago!! Haha!!
Physics/Engineering at Dartmouth most probably!! But I do have a lot of other interests - so don’t know really! Right now it is all about getting into few good colleges so that I can decide what’s right later on!! :D</p>
<p>^I suppose you are right, if they just wanted to increase the number of applicants they could have done a more universal mailing.</p>
<p>My dad was from India.</p>
<p>I don’t know if they would have just done a universal mailing to gain more applicants - people who probably don’t think they have any shot wouldn’t apply anyway unless the email said something to the effect of we want you
I know a random email from even HYP wouldn’t get me to necessarily apply, unless I thought I had a bit of a chance.</p>
<p>There was a thread some time ago on the deadline extension!!</p>
<p>This is what I think… Basically, all colleges use College board to get details of prospective candidates!! :)</p>
<p>On the thread it seemed that people who didn’t get the deadline extension mail fell in either of these three categories:
- He/She wasn’t part of Dartmouth’s prospective applicant list(as from Collegeboard’s applicant profile).
- He/She had already applied to Dartmouth.
- He/She is an International student! (However perraziman’s S seems to be an exception to this!!)</p>
<p>^This would actually help Dartmouth get more “good” applicants because most people know Dartmouth’s a great school and anyone with a good SAT would’ve thought it to be among his/her reach. A mail from Dartmouth urging them to apply would surely change their minds!!</p>
<p>@Raith - Haha!! I actually applied to Columbia & UPenn after receiving around 10 mails from them(I was going to apply anyway, but the mails made me kind of excited!!)!! Now I realize, it was just a part of their marketing policy to keep that acceptance rate low!! :/</p>
<p>@rishav - I actually loved recieving the mails from Penn and Columbia.
Made me feel valued lol :p</p>
<p>Yeah!! Same here:) But I knew abt the engineering standards at columbia…though I still wish I did apply:(</p>
<p>I fit in better at Dartmouth anyways…:D</p>
<p>@quiver -
</p>
<p>WHY didn’t you apply then?? :p</p>
<p>Boards from next Tuesday & I don’t know **** & I can’t stop thinking about these damn decisions!! :/</p>
