<p>u got into MIT and got waitlisted by grinnell?</p>
<p>wow thats really weird! screwed up ur essay or something?</p>
<p>REJECTED BY STANFORD! WOOHHOO! :)</p>
<p>Regaarding Princeton:
Nine percent of those admitted are international citizens from more than 46 countries, including Argentina, Bahrain, Bolivia, Brunei, China, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Serbia and Montenegro, Sweden and Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>Hehe looking forward to that 4th rejection :)</p>
<p>Not really :(</p>
<p>But hey who cares. NLS here I come! :) (hopefully)</p>
<p>laila! man even if u get rejected 'everywhere', u still have MIT!! so itz not called 'everywhere'</p>
<p>real everywhere rejects are like me! :p</p>
<p>sucharita that really sucks..</p>
<p>what went wrong? one of your teachers hates you or something? gave a crappy rec? how were ur essays?</p>
<p>ya guys spare a thought for people who didnt get admitted to any elite schools :p </p>
<p>Such NLS as in national law school in banglore? Lol, with schools like that you don't need stanford, pshh. I heard its terribly competitive, do you have an exam for that?</p>
<p>To cheer up the atmosphere, all of you should post your acceptances. you guys are all incredibly smart and whichever school you go to, you will be successful in life.</p>
<p>yeah it is terrifically competitive but I looked at the question papers and they seem pretty easy for me though my friends are going crazy hehe :)</p>
<p>flamethrower- yes my recs were crap...I thought my essays were OK but evidently they were crap too :p</p>
<p>NLS seems to be more common sense than anything else.</p>
<p>my brother gave it for the heck of it without any preparation and he stood at rank 105 or something- out of a couple of lakhs i think?</p>
<p>he had a 1600 too- good omen, such ": )"</p>
<p>thank you :)</p>
<p>I will be thrilled if I get in coz I have loads of friends there who are really enjoying it and gave me very positive feedback :)</p>
<p>yea everyone seems to like NLS, there's a new law school in calcutta too. its supposed to be really good. not sure if it opens this year or next year though.</p>
<p>but government law, whihc is in bbay IS SO BAD, and its still ranked 5th or something..</p>
<p>If you are talking about NUJS it is already open but I didnt write the exam coz I dont want to stay in Calcutta :) Some of my friends are already in though</p>
<p>And my mom gave a few History lectures there and she said that it isnt bad but it isnt scintillating either :)</p>
<p>I just got a fat package from Mt. Holyoke. Boy DHL really sucks, the letter was marked 3/25! But I feel happy because the aid is nice- similar to Smith but a much smaller loan :)</p>
<p>check your email flamethrower</p>
<p>dhl/ups/fedex all suck</p>
<p>apart from wustl, grinnell and 1 more, i havent got any packages yet.
not even the rejection / waitlist letters. </p>
<p>there's no1 at home so i've asked my neighbour to collect them for me.
i'm gettin suspicious/angry now.</p>
<p>and such, mail em please</p>
<p>this is just a random generalization but all the daughers of teachers/professors ive met so far are
a) feminists
b) intersted in politics
c) pretty damn smart</p>
<p>such, do u fit the stereotype?</p>
<p>a.)I am a feminist on most women's issues but I agree with Larry Summers on every undiplomatic thing he said about our innate capabilities.</p>
<p>b.)I am interested in politics-strongly anti BJP like the rest of my family. My political views are 50% formed by family rhetoric and 50% my own views :) And yes I plan to get involved in political activism, sooner or later. Socially I am a liberal and economically, I am not qualified to express political opinions. I do know though that the Left hasnt done my state any good :-/</p>
<p>c.) pretty damn smart. I hope so! I am no fool at any rate :)</p>
<p>may your tribe spread</p>
<p>hey ppl....i COMPLETELY support boomer here....u guys are just the creme n dam smart...:)...and i am dead sure u ppl are gonna be 'SOMEONE' in future who will bring important changes to this world.....no matter wich college u get into..and then these colleges who've rejected u guys will regret it...;)....so cheer up....!!!!......n ofcorse..ALL THE BEST!!!.....:).....</p>
