hey, u know in UPenn's 1st question "tell us something tht is not apparent from the app" - i am putting in that 'I am 6' 3", 190 pounds' with some more bs - do you think thts inappropriate? [It is not apparent from the app for sure]</p>
<p>Why is that inappropriate?!</p>
<p>Btw, they do ask for a photo so you need not mention your appearance :p</p>
<p>ok sorryn everybody for not posting earlier.I am hard at work on my essays

And adides,wat interesrting thing did u put for Caltech essay?</p>
<p>merc - unfortunately my passport photo does not tell them that I am tall for an Indian. </p>
<p>akash - for caltech essay, it is tragic because even before the tsunami happened - i had decided to put in a picture from gujarat earthquake that depicts the power of technology during natural disasters. I have still gone with it - but now it is more tragic than cheesy</p>
<p>CMU does not offer financial aid</p>
<p>my bad. i meant dartmouth</p>
<p>ok adides and hello,how this for caltech interesting thing- I am putting an article and photos of ancient India vimanas mentioned in sage Bharadwaja's "vimana-shastra" one of which resembels a modern helicopter and the other ,a flying saucer</p>
<p>uoc finaid ddline isnt jan 1.. its feb 1 ..dont scare me adi!!!</p>
<p>laila, tis jan 1 for intls</p>

<p>adides,urm is abt us students ,not intls</p>
<p>aww adi dont worry everythings gonna b okay.. dat creep of a counsellor..mu bannd nahi rakh sakta kya?</p>
<p>thx laila - last question guys
in the fin aid form in section F "expected support for educational expenses"
are we supposed to explain the 100% of expenses or whatever we can pay??</p>
<p>what you can pay x 0.5 :D</p>
<p>j/k</p>
<p>akash, you're apologizing for not posting? how sweet :)
how did you have the self control to keep away from CC????
whats the secret of your success? I desperately need to learn it!</p>
<p>adides, i had a hard time convincing my father not to write under "other" the name of the college and the aid we expected from them!</p>
<p>see, you can't really tell them how much you want</p>
<p>AFAIK, you only write how much you can pay. for me, that was from the family income and vaccation earnings (i put $4000 - reasonable?)</p>
<p>but you should still confirm. and let me know if it's not this way.</p>
<p>kewl - alright that does it for me!
Ladies and Gentlemen - I am headed to celebrate New Years Eve. It has been a pleasure getting to know you guys in 2004 and hope to see you at some of the best colleges in 2005.
God bless and let us keep the tsunami victims in our thoughts during these tough times.</p>
<p>happy new yaaaawwwwnnnn year ppl..sorry bt da yanw, relly sleepy here..take care guys, n GOOODIE LUCK!</p>
