Namaste Upenn

<p>This is basically a post for Indian students (class of 2010) …but hey, everyone’s welcome</p>

<p>I'm applying!!!</p>

<p>I'm applying! Woot!!</p>

<p>I must add that after a bit of consideration, I'm against this thread; we don't need our own thread just because of our skin color/origin...you tell me who's being more racist/selective/elitist on CC...the whites or the Indians.</p>

<p>well....there is a fulll fledged Indian thread thriving on CC........why do we need this........a lots of ppl applying to upenn frm india ..no worries........</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>I'm against that full-fledged thread too...I haven't seen a single actul URM group try to make a thread; where's the mexican or the American Indian or even black thread? The only threads I've really seen are sections of Asia threads...i sort of wonder why we need these threads...</p>

<p>We don't. One of the reasons I want to go to Penn is because it is so diverse and I WONT feel I have to group with other indians to fit in.</p>

<p>iv4me, I completely agree; I love the diversity factor; at my HS, we have what seems like a 45% white and a 45% black population while everyone else is just inbetween. It's sort of sad...our black/white population has fluctuated so much recently that our school majority keeps switching</p>

<p>Chill guys, i din start this thread with any segregating interest. Heck the main reason i wanna go to the US and specifically Penn is cuz of the diversity. I just thought it would be useful to be able to keep in touch and help each other out during and after the process of applying</p>

<p>" I just thought it would be useful to be able to keep in touch and help each other out during and after the process of applying"</p>

<p>not to start an arguement or anything, but isn't that the entire purpose of CC? I guess this could be a good way to make Indian friends...if we get in.</p>

<p>Yea, but there would be certain problems specific to Indian students na. Here's one - I'm not applying for financial aid, but i don want my dad to pay the huge sum. Any idea what sort of loans one can get from here?</p>

<p>ah; did you intend for this to be for international Indian students? I'm an Indian, but I live in the states.</p>

<p>everyone's welcome. i'm providing the diversity for the thread :)</p>

<p>YAY!!!</p>

<p>I'm happy now!</p>

<p>lol...the irony! i'm desi at penn, and that was one of the main reasons why i liked the school, too...it's definitely got a ton of indians, but almost sadly, it seems like all the ppl i know outside of my dorm and my class are indian! where's the diversity?! ::confused::</p>

<p>ok, how do you do that one?</p>

<p>edit: (the smiley....er frowny.....er whatever)</p>
