<p>Thats precisely my point PV. I don't have a backup. :(</p>
<p>Thanks for the definition SP- now I know what all my friends mean when they say 'you've got to be kidding me" :)</p>
<p>sucha...dont be so self effasive (sp?). Duke accepts 100% of its 1600s...</p>
<p>Hello: r u lookin at applying to CMU Qatar? i met the rep last yr n he said that the qatar foundation would fund students, even expats.. its a interest free loan or sumthin. n moreover, all the faculty n stuff are from CMU.. its sumthin like how BITS is doin in dxb n mct.</p>
<p>Didnt apply to Duke :(</p>
<p>SP: effasive(sp?) hmmm.... Are you thinking of effacing?</p>
<p>CMU Qatar doesnt have an engineering school, only Comp Sc. and Business School + it costs the same $40K's.</p>

I suggest you fill in a paper app NOW and send it, they will most probably accept it.</p>
<p>GO SEND IT NOW, you can use the common app school report and teacher recs + the essays are quite simple</p>
<p>HURRY!!! 100% acceptance for 1600's</p>
<p>meh...I'm too lazy
and i dont have any copies of the recs and school report. And I dont want to see my GCs face again</p>
<p>And today I celebrate my independence day!!!</p>
<p>Finally, my parents have left and I am a free person again. I am back and back for good. I did try to make an effort of going thru the earlier posts (but 771 posts were a bit too much to read) so i will just tag along...</p>
<p>welcome to all the new ppl
hey to all the old ppl
congrats to all those who got acceptaces while i was gone</p>
<p>so for interviews- it seems more like delhites have had more luck getting ivy interviews. any1 from other parts of india getting as many interviews???</p>

<p>noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats not possible!</p>
<p>sucha - the harbinger of bad news... :P</p>
<p>well sucha, Duke wont mind if u give them a call and tell them that u REALLLY wanna apply. the number 5 school in the US can be ur safety school! go for it!</p>
<p>btw sucha, which school in Cal are u at? I know some of them around there...</p>
<p>SP, what do you think she will say when Duke ppl ask her exactly why she "really" wants to apply out of the blues....? "Because I heard you take all 1600s so I though I'd add you as a safety." :D</p>
<p>And welcome to the land of the living, adides! We missed you! Ok, everyone else except me missed you.... :p</p>
<p>merc - i missed cc as well. man, it was awful to live a 'normal' life. for 2 weeks, i have gone to bed before midnight and ate most my meals at home. I thought tht I am used to doing these two weeks stunts once every six months, but coz of the weird habits tht i developed durin the application process, i realized tht i aint used to nothin nomore...
such - 771 posts since i posted the 1000th and went away for my 'vacation from application process' two weeks ago. u guys do rock...</p>
<p>about 1600s duke - i met with a recent grad from duke, who refused nice $$ jobs to come back to india. he told me the same thing.
i dont know if he was jokin or serious, but he told me that his essay topic for duke's admission was 'to err is human' directed towards his 1590 score...</p>
<p>yeah... i'll write another essay - "to blunder is divine" aimed towards my 1250 :D</p>
<p>Interesting info: My dad went to college with Narayan Murthy, ie to University of Mysore</p>
