<p>^That’s a great achievement Gary!</p>
<p>UPenn dishes out financial aid rarely and mostly its partial. Depends on what school of Penn you are looking at too.</p>
<p>@AviatorPenguin: Yes, i have everything to prove my mentioned EC’s. The ‘under process’ undertakings of the two projects mentioned towards the end will be over before mind of next month. </p>
<p>“Have camped under the supervision of Rathore Singh ( India’s Olympic swimmer ) for an entire summer.”
it was a national level swimming camp with rigorous 4 hours physical training which included 3 hours of swimming every day for 50 days.
I have also attended national camps in badminton. </p>
<p>Horse Ridding- i have duly participated in races</p>
<p>Golf- Have played at zonal level and inter-club as well. Have not won anything thou :P</p>
<p>I wrote all this in a jiffy, my mistake i admit. It might sound more significant if i pen down details properly.</p>
<p>I am adding a couple of things to my resume. </p>
<p>Beginning with training work at JUSCO, town administration department of TATA’s. This is something like another 1 month program which will keep me busy for some part of the day in addition to school hours. </p>
<p>About the NASA scholarship. It was conducted by this school [Welcome</a> to Times Business School](<a href=“http://www.times.ac.in%5DWelcome”>http://www.times.ac.in)
which took a common test and selected an initial 47 post which 15 were selected for this camp/trip. It just aimed at picking people with critical views regarding international affairs. I can demand a letter from the organizers explaining it to the colleges if it does not sound all that clear.</p>
<p>About upenn, well its close to useless scholarship for international applicants. </p>
<p>LAC is exactly what i am thinking about! Added, my college list will possess specific concentration/ratio of both Univ. and LAC.</p>
<p>Overall: thanks a lot for speculating things and pointing out the flaws. I will surely need more of your views.</p>
<p>BTW, whats your status currently?</p>
<p>harvard17: ^That’s a great achievement Gary!</p>
<p>Thats sarcastic, right?
( okay, fine i might sound dumb with that question 
)</p>
<p>@TippuSultan - thanks buddy! :)</p>
<p>Oh no, that was not sarcastic. I truly meant it. </p>
<p>Gary, as of now, is the only Indian who was accepted to Penn with financial assistance. This is, to be honest, a fantastic feat!</p>
<p>You still haven’t mentioned where you are going. NASA has different centers. Also your participation doesn’t really add to your resume. Keep it out unless you have actually won something.</p>
<p>Just my $0.02</p>
<p>Obviously i have WON IT!!
I am yet to receive trip details. I know, there are different centers of NASA in the US! Mostly its in Orlando for us. Its not participation only, its a scholarship!</p>
<p>Oh , that’s brilliant Garry!!! Congrats, it very late, i know! :P</p>
<p>Garry how much of financial aid are you receiving at uPenn?</p>
<p>dude, seriously, scholarship for WHAT? Visiting Kennedy Space Center? Thats not a scholarship. Thats a funded tour. Unless you are doing something there stop using the word scholarship.</p>
<p>What exactly did you do to win it?</p>
<p>I found something regarding your NASA trip. [Talented</a> 26 set for Nasa | Jamshedpur, Tatanagar, Jharkhand News, Blogs, Jobs, Events, Classifieds, Travel, Education and Business Directory](<a href=“MyJamshedpur.com is for sale | HugeDomains”>MyJamshedpur.com is for sale | HugeDomains)</p>
<p>Well I guess you can use the word scholarship since the initial institution has used it. But you say its 15 people and the site says 26?</p>
<p>And about adding things regarding participation I was speaking about Golf and Horse Riding. Did you show or race for horse riding?</p>
<p>Pardon my cynical nature.</p>
<p>Lol, there must be more guys receiving aid, its just that I haven’t met any of them yet And I haven’t even asked EVERY Indian I know if they’re on aid <_< Its the kind of thing that naturally comes into conversation when you’re talking about jobs or something.</p>
<p>@nama- MY FA package is ~51K/year.</p>
<p>I bet there are more. Most of the students who apply don’t show up at CC :)</p>
<p>HEY thats similar to my FA package!</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>Where are you off to, Aviator?</p>
<p>I am already a Junior in college ;)</p>
<p>Congrats Penguin 
And no other Penn students I know are on CC.</p>
<p>Aviatorpenguin:

<ol>

<p>I meant as in showing for horse riding. Its a kind of an event. Professional much? :p</p>
<p>Just for the record, still don’t agree with the word scholarship.</p>
<p>Well you should aim for LACs! Thats your best bet.</p>
<p>AviatoPenguin: Dude, what else do i call it? lol
Yes it is, but don’t you think ‘showing’ is just too professional stuff
and yes, LACs are under due consideration!btw which college are you in?</p>
