<p>aniruddhc: What do you exactly mean by “strong”, academically? 2200+ SAT, 780+ Subject SATs, that kinda stuff? Or IPhO IChO IMO IBO simultaneous gold medals type strong?</p>

<p>perfectpixie: 1900-2000 SATs, little to no ECAs. Academically they weren’t bad, one guy had 94% in his CBSE 10th with a 100 in math.</p>

<p>According to Blackadder’s definition of below average, I know a below average person who got MIT. Therefore, I conclude that MIT is my safety school, as I am better than that applicant. (the only difference being his research) lol :)</p>

<p>(@blackadder - no offense. . . pls don mind)</p>

83

<p>harisheena: Ok, add this to the definition of below average: NO HOOKS/OUTSTANDING SPECIAL TALENTS WHATSOEVER.
Further idiotic justification (because I’m feeling debate-y, must be all the Navratra food): I know FOUR guys. You know ONE. HAH! :P</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, who was the guy?</p>

84

<p>Dude the process is very unpredictable</p>

<p>Anshuman Panda MIT’12…</p>

<p>from kolkata bankura
i m from kolkata howrah</p>

85

<p>Blackadder-where else did they get in?Im looking for good safeties.</p>

86

<p>also 4:1… quality matters more than quantity… :)</p>

87

<p>perfectpixie: I’m assuming you’re not being sarcastic or bashing on me. If I remember correctly: RPI, Drexel, SUNY (Stony Brook I think), UVA.</p>

88

<p>pix - Stephen’s is a great safety… instead of wasting time on finding safety, work on essays, application and boards (the whole process is very hectic, as dec will approach u will feel like soooooooooooo pressurized)</p>

89

<p>i think u forgot what i told you… if u need aid, then there is no safety</p>

90

<p>Didn’t Anshuman Panda get a 2400 on SAT Reasoning?</p>

91

<p>lolololololol he got CR510, W540, M770… it was subject which most of the guys I know get 2400 (including me)</p>

92

<p>lol yeah, subject. But surely he must’ve had something going for him in the admissions process. Did he do any olympiad?</p>

93

<p>why don’t you ask him… he is generous enough to reply all…</p>

94

<p>And how do I go about doing that?</p>

95

<p>He rarely comes on FB, but whenever he does, he will reply u</p>

<p>“perfectpixie: 1900-2000 SATs, little to no ECAs. Academically they weren’t bad, one guy had 94% in his CBSE 10th with a 100 in math.”</p>

<p>In which world is that below average?</p>

<p>“RPI, Drexel, SUNY (Stony Brook I think), UVA.”
RPI = Safety? I sincerely beg to differ
UVa= Safety? Seriously?</p>

98

<p>aniruddhc: You and I, we have different perspectives of the world.</p>

99

<p>

That kinda is atleast average.Ignore his 10th boards where everyone does well ani,and focus on his SAT and EC’s.</p>

<p>And math is the subject maximum people get a 100.</p>

100

<p>"And math is the subject maximum people get a 100. "</p>

<p>So you mean to say a 100 in math doesn’t mean anything when applying?</p>
