<p>perfectdark9, the indian post dates back to the old cc and ishan was one of the people there. i almost feel like i'm narrating a legend :)</p>
<p>shjanama, try Tom Robbins if you like quirky stuff. I'd recommend Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates or Jitterbug Perfume</p>
<p>Is everyone at MIT/HYP from dps rkp? It's funny really.</p>
<p>There's gotta be a reason it's called The Factory</p>
<p>ok no offence to anyone from dps... but what do you ppl seriously think of the whole mobile phone video incident?</p>
<p>When you hand a camera phone to hormone loaded 17 yr olds things like that are bound to happen.</p>
<p>Um... now what happened there?</p>
<p>Not a pretty thing to talk about: a guy with a camera phone recorded a video (with consent!) of a girl giving him a bj and sent it off to friends. It spread like wildfire and 8 students were suspended.</p>
<p>It's natural to think the girl was the victim, but I read somewhere that she wasn't too sorry for herself either ("doesn't everyone do it? didn't you do it?" - to her principal!). And apparently there wasn't too much of skin in the video...at least not of the girl.</p>
<p>From the more legal point of view too, they were 17, above the legal 'age of consent' (16, at least in the US). And they were both the same age so there was no 'imbalance of power'. All this hype is only because THIS particular incident came into the media, when incidents like these are common practice in schools these days.</p>
<p>I had no idea that this incident has become so widely known
anyway,whoever wants to see the video can send me a private message</p>
<p>Getting back to applications...</p>
<p>So I got an email from MIT EC Office right now, with an EC assigned to me. Some Dilip S. Coelho in New Delhi.</p>
<p>Does anyone know about him? Since I got rid of Mr Meattle, do you guys think I should have an interview with him?</p>
<p>Also, if anyone had their MIT interview already, can you post a transcript/highlights/tips?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>Also, how would you pronounce "Coelho" ? :)</p>
<p>"can I talk to mr. kol-ho, please"
"can I talk to mr. sil-ho, please"</p>
<p>funny question...but important</p>
<p>co-ehlo</p>
<p>how lucky.I wish I was in patna. :sigh:</p>
<p>seems mr. meattle takes on all the rkp people :p</p>
<p>and... co-elho. like paulo coelho.</p>
<p>10-14 days!! I'm excited! For all of us. And I so wish Princeton did online notification</p>
<p>just had my Math Midterms, I dont think I'll even break 60/100 :(</p>
<p>That's not much different from my situation same time last year.</p>
<p>Mercurysquad,did u contact this coelho guy?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I did.</p>
<p>I called him and he sounded fine... looks like he graduated a long time ago (daughter picked up). Asked me to send him a copy of my mit app over email. Since I haven't yet completed it, I sent him a resume instead (which is a bit more detailed). He said he'll go through it and then when I'm in delhi, "we can have a chat for about an hour so."</p>
<p>So it probably won't be anything like the Five Hour Ravi Meattle Interview. :)</p>
<p>that's sad hello. i'm scared what my pre-pre-boards will bring for me.</p>
<p>btw... we'll have to send the mid-year report???</p>
<p>yes. I will wait for the pre-board marks</p>
<p>This is sad. If any univs look at my pre-board marks (or anyone's from school), my application is going in the dustbin.</p>
<p>E.g. I got 61% in preboard. Which univ do you think will accept anyone with that kind of a score? Haha. I shot up to 88.2 though..</p>
<p>I'm glad I already graduated, so no need to mention those internal exam marks.</p>
