<p>hers some more interesting news,
last year (2004) there were:
[ul][<em>]5 Indians at RSI
[</em>]IPhO: 1G 2S 2B (5 medals for india)
[<em>]IChO: 1G 1S 2B (4 medals for india)
[</em>]IMO: 4S 2B (6 medals for india)
[li]IOI: 1S 2B (3 medals for india)[/li][/ul] to state a few.</p>
<p>and we actually had hopes :(</p>
<p>wht is rsi???</p>
<p>hey, i noe some countries like singapore and India(i think), harvard says it does not give interviews cos too mnay applicants or no alumni/committe available...however long tiem back i heard and it has come to my attn again that act they do conduct interviews but not for everybody, only for the stronger candidates...is this really true? any of u guys inone of those marked countries been granted an interview? needless to say my call is nvr gonna come...haha...looks like upen gonna pass me to...:p</p>
<p>hey astrix n adides, i have applied to join ur grp...and i will send my esaays to the gmail acct soon.... but i am a bit blur (as usual), how do we all access to the essays, resume tec...are u gonna put them up on the group??
thnx</p>
<p>lol thanks guys but as i said before I didnt apply to HPYSM !! Anyway the only ivy i applied to was Cornell that too it had excellent food (jk) ( Princeton review rates its food in the top 10 though ) and I heared Indian food is a regular there too!! </p>
<p>Hmmm I really like the consultancy idea too. I can be an expert in the top-middle range schools like Northwestern, NYU, Washu etc etc. Furthermore I am a really good editor if that helps. ummm what else, I can help out with life in the US i guess. Others i think everyone is really good at it. </p>
<p>btw the most boring jobs pay the most ( actuary ? sheesh )</p>

<p>Most people seem to think that Princeton doesn't send likely letters to anyone other than recruited athletes, which would be entirely in keeping with their somewhat baffling no publicity policy...</p>
<p>is it too late to send a reccomendation letter of any kind to mit/harvard/upenn?? and fax can rite rather than air mail>></p>
<p>just send it. The worst they could do is throw it in the trash right?</p>
<p>essay and interests sent :)</p>
<p>OK people I need help with Physics practicals- is there any formula for connecting the angle of deviation produced by an equilateral prism of known index to the angle of incidence?</p>
<p>Princeton serves desi food? wow...how many of u guys are veggies? I am...</p>
<p>Sucharita Im surprised</p>
<p>dont u know this basic formula refractive index=sin(60 +angle of deviation)/sin(60/2)</p>
<p>akash thats the formula for minimum deviation not just plain deviation. I'm not that stupid.</p>
<p>Anyway don't bother because I've just finished deriving the deviation formula.</p>
<p>oh and for the records the formula you gave for minimum deviation was WRONG :p</p>
<p>I'm a vegetarian...kind of. It would be more accurate to say I'm a lacto vegetarian...no and ovo lacto vegetarian who eats chicken when there is nothing else to eat and spends the rest of the day taking regular doses of anti histamines :p</p>
<p>neha1, harvard does conduct interviews on a selective basis. In the EA round, only 2 out of 3 applicants from my school were offered an interview</p>
