Indian post

<p>lol, astrix, of course! we're like this <em>crosses fingers</em>! i just haven't heard the phrase in forever! I just hope they're not too "gaga" (LOL!) over it b/c I sent a video to the adcoms! :0</p>

<p>hie...is anyone applying to mit from india??? could you have an interview???</p>

<p>Mercurysquad,trust me,its better for you not to have an interview with this guy.He is known for taking candidates apart.</p>

<p>Seeing your profile over at the Princeton board, you <em>should</em> have an MIT interview. He won't like your math / sci marks (he didn't for this guy last year who used to be on the Indian post) but I think he'll see that you're really into tech. Now again, that guy was also really into programming, but your stuff is over the top.</p>

<p>But it wont matter if HE doesnt like my marks. He cant advise the admission office on my academic qualifications.. all he can send is an interview report. Correct me if I'm wrong. MIT afaik is liberal with test scores... but this might be a misconception.</p>

<p>Hmm. Dunno if it helps, but I remembered reading this:</p>

</p>

<p>Basically, the guy's careful with who he recommends</p>

<p>i really feel sorry for Ishan he was clearly one the best applicants from india</p>

<p>Such is life, hello :) Can't have everything you wish for. It's just important to realize that even if we don't get into our dream schools - wherever we end up - we'll be okay anyway.</p>

<p><had to="" do="" that.="" mid-dec="" scaring="" me=""></had></p>

<p>and now he is in Hansraj doing chemistry.What a waste.</p>

<p>Nice how we chose the exact same insane time to post. Sup, akash</p>

<p>how true :)</p>

<p>have you guys heard of st. xavier university in india?</p>

<p>Yup. Mumbai. Great place. Why do you ask?</p>

<p>what's it like? is it like the harvard/princeton/yale/etc of india?</p>

<p>I do think it's top-ranked... I only know that for econ the best place in India is St. Stephen's in Delhi and St. Xavier's kind of figures on that list too</p>

<p>my mom went there...she graduated first in her class
i've heard that parents expect more out of their kids than they did themselves...i'm kinda worried now</p>

<p>it'll all be good! anyway, i'm off now. all this while i'd meant to do something productive but just hung out here</p>

<p>looking for a good book to read...any suggestions???</p>

<p>What's this about Ishan? Somebody wanna fill me up on this guy?</p>
