I'm not 'dropping the ball' either, just that it makes no sense doing it right now. Neither will it make any sense later, if I get rejected from everywhere.</p>

<p>hey <em>nt</em> , i am from singapore.</p>

1665

<p>hey veritas the point of these rankings is?</p>

1666

<p>adides as merc said its pointless to do anything about that book until we get to hear from everywhere, Sucess stories are better to read than failures :(</p>

1667

<p>Ze country has officially gone to the dogs. Reservation on the parliamant floor - the ultimate form of discrimination possible.</p>

1668

<p>Who is Sonia Gandhi to declare that anyway? She isnt in the government (if she is, i dont know what her portfolio is) Shes a goddamn leader of a political party!</p>

<p>Well, i guess parliament is becoming irrelevant anyway</p>

1669

<p>did anyone specifically ask for these rankings?</p>

1670

<p>well no harm done even if veritas posted them..some new fella juz skimmin thru the threads may find them useful :)</p>

1671

<p>no lets lynch veritas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>just kidding, as neha says no harm done though it still bothers me a little to see those rankings :)</p>

1672

<p>i'll bet a lot on veritas being alphacdcd.</p>

<p>adides don't you worry things will be back to normal soon's these stoopd exams start ending :p have fun.</p>

1673

<p>oooh do you think veritas is alphacdcd? The rankings confirm that but the sn sounds more like something Byerly would use...</p>

<p>Nomad, We do not all have the good fortune of being able to call Cornell a safety.</p>

1675

<p>nomad you called cornell a safety school? :eek:</p>

1676

<p>cornell as safety?? sheesh, this reminds of the hotivychikwannabe thread...........lol</p>

1677

<p>i'm sure nomad was kidding or something</p>

1678

<p>As I've said before, Narayan Murthy's son couldn't get into IIT and used Cornell as a safety. If you're a Princeton/Harvard candidate, as such and astrix are, Cornell is a safety for you (esp if you don't need aid, like Murthy's son).</p>

<p>And Shashank - I was just writing a blog entry about the reservation thing... sad, eh? :(</p>

</p>

<p>Technically, you become a Princeton/Harvard candidate just by applying to those places. I have applied to both, been deferred by one and will, in all probability be rejected by both in another 3 weeks. Would Cornell still be a safety for me? Somehow, I think not.</p>

<p>yay I got a Princeton application complete postcard...makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to receive any kind of mail from them :)</p>
