<p>I have started this post for those brave boys and girls who wish to help each other to beat the odds and get into ivy leagues; the gurkha way.
All right, lets cool down. Going to Ivies , well at least trying, can up-shoot a great professional career. Why? Because even undergrad education is like a PHD! And to be rogue, and audacious and honest, I have always had this sort of ambitions that can be realised most fully after ivy leagues. So, my list of wishes is this</p>
<p>I will be applying to MIT YALE and Princeton (I am depending on my supplement. It’s a online learning systems that I built when I was in my early A2 level). </p>
<p>I have somewhat horrible SAT 1920 ( I am giving on Jan and thinking about bringing it to 2100+). A-Levels. - Mostly A and A* (except for GP). </p>
<p>SAT II : 800/780/740 MCP</p>
<p>Note: I have excellent ECs and the only thing that will pull me done is my SAT. :(</p>
<p>adaiyan,
I think ur supplement is great. But can YOU explain a little about ur online learning systems? is it the OLE (OPEN LEARNING INITIATIVE?) </p>
<p>MINE:
SAT II; 800/790/730
SAT I ; YET NOT TAKEN , TAKING IN JAN
TOEFL; 112/120
ESSAY; IT is about how I corrected my self and learned to think in nepali language. It is extremely risky, but I think the use of good english makes it fine. and it is true, not something i made up to court the admission officers.</p>
<p>have u taken toefl? is it really needed? i THought IT was imp so I took it. </p>
<p>My supplement is about helping kids learn because they just couldn,t pass slc. ( it is associated with this organization made by social work studying students. </p>
<p>Reccomendations; one teacher has written hypocritically, because he knows me since chilhood, as “first boy” in all grades… I am not from Kathmandu. Another teacher will write fine i think.</p>
<p>extracurriculars; no any national level sort of olympiads or quizes. In fact I am depending upon some certificates i am getting in january, and will promptly upload them. </p>
<p>But, the fact of the matter is i have extremely slim chances of getting accepted at ivies because of something horrendous in my application. Perhaps I can explain it later. </p>
<p>Perhaps starting this thread is also a sign that I am not really getting into ivies, and so an expression of failure.
allright, sorry for this last psychological garbage.</p>
<p>Yeah … about my supplement … it’s an online learning system … It’s actually for medical entrance preparation with huge database of questions and tests (also forum) Used PHP and JS to make it and webaccapella for designing the site.</p>
<p>There are over 5000 users. (I heard of … I have given the access of administration console to other guy of that institution and I haven’t followed up the stats since.)</p>
<p>I have done TOEFL (scores yet to come)</p>
<p>And sapragandaki, you don’t need to upload the certificate. Ani where are u frm??</p>
<p>mumford07,
Yes, sorry about that glitch.
But I stick to the above posts. It is not the administrative discrepancies of campuses( their unions or standings) on the other side of the planet Earth that matter. </p>
<p>The audacious, rugged ,brutal truth is one has to work for oneself for any sort of achievements; and those campuses just might help. The rest is just nonsense, and if I sow nonsense, I harvest even nonsense “nonsense”. And in order to achieve acclaimed success in USA, one has to leave Nepal with rigid plans and dreams.
That’s WHY I started this thread.</p>
<p>I was assigned MIT interviewer, Rabi Karmacharya. After many days of delaying, He replied me saying that he is out of the country and unablew to interview. So, I was assigned a new interviewer, Ramesh Nath Vaidya. I asked for interview in Dec 9( deadline was Dec 10). I t appears he had replied me in Dec 9 itself, but because of some technological mishap, I didn ot recieve his email. So for more than 10 days, I wrote him emails repeatedly. I tried to contact his office, but as he is a senior researcher at ICIMOD, he rarely showed at his office.<br>
Finally, he repllied and forwarded me his DEC 9 email. But meanwhile, the interviewer’s name at mymit dissappeared and changed to " interview waived". Before that happened , there was a notice that if something like this happens, call us, we will reassign you your EC. But, due to holiday season, the interview office is closed. I am going to contact them today, and hopefully, the office wont be closed. </p>
<p>WHAT WILL POOR DR RAMESH VAIDYA THINK ABOUT ME, WHEN i ASK HIM TO INTERVIEW ME JUST ONE DAY BEFORE THE DEADLINE?</p>
