<p>How about starting an Indian Post? I invite all Indians to join and share their views on the issues and problems of Indians getting into US school.</p>
<p>Hmm, I wanted to, but I wasn't sure that people were still interested. Indian Post #11 was languishing on the older forums.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hope this will be a great #12!</p>
<p>So... any of the old people around? Cooldude, how come you were giving the Math IIC Oct 9 when you already had an 800 on that?</p>
<p>Motso, where are you from in India?</p>
<p>BTW, I'm so glad for the Dusshera Break, not much time left to work on the early applications. Don't know what's with me, I can only do stuff under pressure. Deadlines are pressure enough.</p>
<p>Great to see an Indian thread finally... was afraid I was the only one. Where in India are you guys from anyways? I'm from this really small town called Jamshedpur.</p>
<p>Where's everybody applying by the way? Anybody applying to Wharton (UPenn)? Oh and do they really put a lot of emphasis on your grades, cuz' I come from a place where they mark us really low, so its like a struggle to get above 60. And if you do, its kinda accepted that you're going to hit above a 92 in your boards. But, marks like that look like crap on your report, so how can you put that across to an adcom?</p>
<p>There was this girl called Rashmi from Jamshedpur last year, maybe you know her?</p>
<p>Yeah the strict checking they do really sucks. I think the best thing that can be done is to make sure your principal puts in something about how rigorous it is...</p>
<p>Are you in CBSE or ICSE?</p>
<p>Gosh you write beautifully! Visited your webpage</p>
<p>Oh... you know Rashmi? She was my senior. She's somewhere in the mid-west right now I think. I'm giving my ISC. What about you guys? </p>
<p>Well, I guess you're right. The only way is to beg the princy to write a really good explanation letter. Don't know if he'll do it though. He's pretty uncompromising. Oh well, hopefully they'll just look at the SAT marks. <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>Well, I'm glad you think I write well. <em>confused</em> But I've not even started on my site. Just, left it at the headings. LOL. Glad you liked it already.</p>
<p>Yeah, she's at Wooster. She used to be around these parts a lot.</p>
<p>I'm in a CBSE school. Something tells me they'll look at the class X board marks a lot more closely than the internal marks. I sure hope so :-/</p>
<p>And your site, yup, the first link worked.</p>
<p>And which parts are those exactly? I assumed she always went to Cal to give her SATs. That's where all of us go.</p>
<p>But there's nothing on my site yet. <em>sheepish grin</em> I just finished my exams today. Maybe I'll have a bit of free time now to update it. Hope they look at the class 10 marks. Although I had a really high fever during it, so I couldn't make a really good total. Just managed to reach 90. Hope that doesn't work against me.</p>
<p>hey Astrix, how were your SAT II's??</p>
<p>Like a sucker along with Writing I retook Physics and Math IIC (although i already got 800 on both), and i think i screwed up Physics and Writing.</p>
<p>btw i'm cooldude from the old CC</p>
<p>I think i'll have to take Writing in Nov (standby)</p>
<p>Haha.. you thought I meant she came by somewhere near I lived or something?? I meant like... she used to be on CC a lot</p>
<p>Me, I'm from Gurgaon, which is National Capital Region for you</p>
<p>Downtheway!! Just 90? That's sad :p I have like an 81. My school records are better that way. I don't know what happened in the boards. Maybe they didn't like my handwriting.</p>
<p>Hey cooldude!! Nice to have you back!</p>
<p>Hehe... that's crazy! Retaking 800's. Anyway, I hope the scores come out okay after all. My writing was pretty much okay, math was pretty good too and physics I screwed up. But still hoping physics can be a 700+. Let's see. Oct 22 is not too far now. Sucks waiting.</p>
<p>I kinda contradicted myself up there... but whatever</p>
<p>i know its stupid but i didnt have transport and i registered for 3 (Writing, chem and french) but chickened out.</p>
<p>Just hope i get a 700 on the writing.</p>
<p>Btw are u taking the SAT in Nov, Dec??
how are ur EA essays comin out, i have to start now :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm giving the SAT in Nov but most likely won't be giving anything in Dec. Depends on how I do in Phy. Frankly, I don't think I want to sit down to bubble in stuff for the fifth time this year :p</p>
<p>I'm such a lazy ass, I haven't started the essays. I want to do them these hols. Though God knows if I've ever done anything productive it's like the night before the deadline. I'm trying to mend my ways :-| Just finished with my exams in school and didn't do too well. Seriously, they shouldn't be so hard on us.</p>
<p>SAT I in Nov?? coz i'l be doing that and maybe Writing in Dec if I get less than 700.</p>
<p>Yup
1234567</p>
<p>LOL. My bad. So, you've been on this board since last year?! Wow! You really started thinking early about all this. And you're talking about waiting for deadlines? I started thinking about higher studies in the States seriously only in early August. I'd given my SAT I in Jan only cuz' there were others who were too, and I was like what the heck? I'll just join the bandwagon.</p>
<p>I'm really lazy too though. The only reason I'm not applying EA/ED is cuz' its just too much of an effort. I'm pretty sure I'm going to finish on all my applications only by December 15th. Oh well, here's to the good ol' procrastinators...</p>
<p>Nopes, since this year only actually. But feels like last year, since people have gone and all :p</p>
<p>^ what'd I have done on the SAT II writing with that kind of grammar</p>
