<p>merc "IMO Akash has the best shot at HYPSM.
Closely followed by Adi, Merc, Astrix, Sucharita & nomad"</p>
<p>i think akash and such have the best shot...followed by gandalf, merc, astrix, hello, nomad, and rest of the cc...
i am way too behind, dont even have 1500 and i think most of the adcoms will see through my apps to know my "care free...dont give a F#$* attitude"</p>
<p>have any of u received mails from uni sayin missin sat scores???</p>
<p>yup. cornell missed my sat scores, so i had to send them again...</p>
<p>True, adides. I don't understand why hello and others include my (or even your or surya's name as probables). Perhaps because we don't want to hurt/discourage anyone, right? I mean how can anyone claim someone with 1250 or 1350 has "a shot" at the ivies/MIT so easily? While I have a gut feeling that I might get accepted, who doesn't? It's time we got realistic about our chances.</p>
<p>yo merc - i hear u bro, i hear u...
before the d-day, i want to have 0 expectations so if i get nething positive back, i can njoy it and party hard. last weekend i had a long talk with my bro and everytime i tlk with him it just inspires me...to try to be as carefree as he is, so tht i can njoy life and be humble...</p>
