<p>"he got into williams ED remember " oh yeah...lucky bastard...:)</p>
<p>adides, do you think that we'll be able to pull off a book with 10-12 collaborators
my concern is that our articles will overlap</p>
<p>heh... chances... i have a gut feeling i'm getting into swarthmore. which would make me very happy. but these gut feelings don't ever work for me! and you always think what you want to think.</p>
<p>ritz i know you're raring to get going but at least let the boards get over :p</p>
<p>thts a genuine concern and we can have 3 formats to it
a. We can have a compilation of essays by all of us, so the reader can elect to read whomever the he/she likes (more ppl will like u coz u harvard ea :p)
b. One of us (who is good in editing etc. - not me) can be the cheif compilor and has the final authority to add/cut ne1
c. We can divide diff sections and just concentrate on that and then send it to other ppl for review (the problem is in diff writing style..like the way my resume building is shaping up right now is more bullet point structure, whereas i would suspect tht u might have it in a more paragraph format...know wht i mean???)</p>
<p>adides had the right idea when he asked us to list strengths. i think we'll all concentrate on specific stuff...</p>
<p>ya...btw i asked a few ppl about your bfs question...everyone seemed confused</p>
<p>ritz, 1 thing is for sure...some of us will tk this up seriously and some will not...just coz of diff priorities...i think tht ne1 who is tkin aieee jee etc. better concentrate their efforts their (although after march 31st, hopefully not many of us will have to) but i am VERY SERIOUS abt getting this book done, even if it means tht the draft sits in the library of my school, and it never gets published...
u show a gujju ways to mk $$ is like showing a hungry tiger some meat :)</p>
<p>adides, i think that we should first work on a compilation of essays</p>

</p>
<p>prolly this june...</p>
<p>heh yeah some of us are bound to lose interest :p which is cool too.</p>
<p>thanks for asking around ritz. nobody knows for sure :-/</p>
<p>ya...i know what you mean. actually i'm more excited about the consultancy firm. I think that we should go ahead with that. wot say?</p>
<p>sounds good to me...ritz, do u realize tht u just had 10% of your total posts in the last 10 minutes??
about compliation, how do we want to go ahead with it?? any suggestions?
I would suggest that we open a common email account and PM the p/w to the ppl involved. Then email all our essays to that email so every1 has access to each others essays...</p>
<p>yes, i thought that it is high time that i do sthg bout my miserable post count</p>
<p>essay? our college essays? wait i'm confused. or i get it now. so this compilation of essays is about real college essays we sent? hmm okay.</p>
<p>consultancy firm - although maybe more lucrative will pose a lot of logistical problems. for example - i would think tht since u movin to boston in july-august, you might elect to go out with ur parents/friends somewhere for a vacation etc. so the timing could be horrendeous...
but with book, we can tk tht as the first step and work @ our own pace and njoy our last summer in india (got to tk cookin and salsa classes :( ). When we get done with our book towards the end of june (hopefully!!!) we will know, who is in and who is not and then can do consulting from our respective colleges via web etc... dont know wht ur opinions are...</p>
<p>essays - sorry for the confusion...there are 2 types of essays
a. college application essay tht we have sent for the essay chapter
b. essays (chapters) written by us on other topics such as resume building, college networking, college selection etc.</p>
<p>to get the p/w to this email add. Please
- re-emphasize your strengths and weaknesses
- the chapters that you are interested in writing
- send an email with your main college app essay and the abovementioned points</p>
<p>once this is done, the p/w will be emailed back to you</p>
<p>ritz - did u get the normal small inbox or the bigger 1? coz otherwise we might open a yahoo or gmail coz we will have a lot of attachments coming in this inbox (and we dont want to delete any email at anytime)</p>
<p>the normal inbox size...will get a gmail one also</p>
<p>here's an invite</p>
<p>it's crazy... someone sent this to my gmail account! :p</p>
