<p>keralites...all of them so bloody smart.</p>

<p>don't have much expertise... but id say you can ultimately land up in any university of your choice. </p>

<p>Michigan - in
Purdue - SO in
Penn State- in</p>

<p>Hey! I am not a keralite btw! Thanks! I am more inclined towards MIT and Princeton, but then, its really too much for anyone to hope for.. ~Crosses fingers and waits patiently~</p>

<p>I forgot Northeastern University</p>

6

<p>Bump!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Getting a score like that on the Math IIC gives you a strong chance of being accepted to MIT. I think they'd probably like more extracurriculars involving science or math, though, from what I can tell. Princeton and Stanford are more general in how hard they are to get into, so I guess you've got a decent shot at either of those. Don't know about UCB, Michigan, Penn State, or Northeastern, but take this as a letter of acceptance from Purdue University. I know a girl who got into the ENGINEERING program there, and you veritably trounce her in a scholarly respect. I'd say that you're guaranteed in the Ivy League schools, but they're just so darn hard to get into.</p>

<p>Thanks! :) I just applied to one Ivy League, as I was interested in Engineering and Princeton seemed to have the best eng program</p>

9

<p>The only problem is AID...you need aid right?</p>

10

<p>Yeah... I do....</p>

11

<p>Bump!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

12

<p>Bump again :D</p>

13

<p>You already know what I think, don't you? :p</p>

14

<p>Yeah, I do! Thanks though :D Lol...</p>

15

<p>hey, i thought Cornell was the only Ivy League with a good rated Engineering program--how come u didn't apply there?
As far as I remember, Princeton was only good for one or two engineering majors</p>

16

<p>I dont know actually. Just decided to apply to Princeton, and since I heard Cornell doesnt offer much fin aid to internationals, I didnt....</p>

<p>abhijit^^^^^^^^^^WHAT A NOOB......</p>

<p>"Secured the 6th position in the TCS IT Quiz (over 600 teams participated), 2007"</p>

<p>ROFLMAO, a competition to see who will be the next call center manager? HAHAHAHAHA. Oh, and is there a difference between "securing" and "winning" a competition? B/c it seems like you've made such a distinction in listing your numerous (and incredibly stereotypical) awards...Anyway, I don't think you have a chance at any of them b/c your app is BS...Do you do anything because you actually care about the subject material or are you just another mindless Indian studybot? I'm sure that colleges ask this question when evaluating applicants from India.</p>
