Official Huntsman Ed Thread

<p>Hey pepero, do they really pick 20 from the ED pool? That's a lot from a small pool, if they are expecting more applicatns during the RD round.</p>

<p>I forgot to introduce myself. I am new here, and I am also applying to Huntsman ED. I read most of you folks' posts, and they are staggering! I will not feel bad if you guys get in and I don't, because all of you deserve to get in!</p>

<p>cool.. welcome to the board.. wats your target language?</p>

<p>Japanese...............</p>

<p>kliuless: what language are you applying for?</p>

<p>ABC...: may i ask why you don't have a "Z".</p>

<p>heh heh, i always thought DW was a girl. i dunno why. i think because arthur's sister is DW. i mean, yeah, they're probably initials but still...lol.</p>

<p>yo.. i had to grow up with kids calling me dw.. or d-dub.. actually i dont really mind.. its better than my real name.. blech..</p>

<p>anyway.. japanese.. thats chill.. if we both get in.. youre gonna have to teach me the language.. i speak japanese about as well as our president can speak spanish..</p>

<p>ive had awesome experiences in japan but i wish i could speak the language.. like once i transferred at tokyo narita (on my way to taipei).. and my flight got cancelled so my mom and i wandered the city for a night.. awesome.. and the last two times i stopped by in nippon i was alone.. once i transferred in osaka.. and this past summer i transferred in nagoya.. all i could ask was 'iishonii shashin ii desu ka' (i dunno if thats correct.. can we take a picture together??).. so when i got home.. my mom wondered why i had a bunch of pictures at the nagoya airport with random japanese girls.. eh.. it was fun.. what can i say.. i had shopped all the boutiques and duty free shops.. i guess im just a natural born pimp..</p>

<p>anyway.. gokouun o inorimasu (lol.. i doubt thats right but.. )</p>

<p>I simply forgot.</p>

<p>Haha. That's funny dude. We'll definitely chill if we both get in. So, are those tapes out?</p>

<p>i believe so.. steevs gonna take it i think.. but so far hes the only one?</p>

<p>are you ethnically japanese?</p>

<p>No................</p>

<p>lol just wondering.. cause i know a lot of ethnic chinese apply for chinese.. technically i grew up speaking chinese and i went to chinese school.. but i really dont like the language that much (even though its prolly the most useful..)..</p>

<p>maybe because my parents forced me to learn it.. lol</p>

<p>DW: japan is awesome. i went there once, hope to go back by myself or maybe with family and just explore the place by ourselves.</p>

<p>hey Abc......y yep. let's just call you ABC. :) just for the sake of it.</p>

<p>Yeh, they pick half in the ED round even if they get more apps in RD. It's only fair :)</p>

<p>So, now we have 6 ppl applying to huntsman. this is staggering!</p>

<p>need_help, my target's Spanish.</p>

<p>steev, did you get the letter from your guidance counselor or from your own mailbox?</p>

<p>guidance counselor</p>

<p>Im applying RD, and I know 4 languages (English, Spanish, Hindi and Norwegian). Will this give me an edge in the application process?</p>

<p>Did anyone receive the tape today?</p>

<p>callthecops: you need to pick ONE language when you apply.</p>

<p>no tape for me, o btw, my 2nd choice is wharton.</p>

<p>i've been having bad dreams lately. and also, dreams regarding academic grades have been ON THE SPOT. i'm not joking. exact percentage and all. about a month ago i dreamed i didn't get in. i don't believe in all that psychic stuff but still, it's kinda freaky.</p>

<p>I called Huntsman and spoke with program director Inge Herman.</p>

<p>The entire language proficiency packet was FedEx'ed overnight on Monday to the applicants' guidance counselors.</p>

<p>I talked about CC.com actually for a little bit to her, and she said that last year there were so many untrue rumors circulating the forum, that a Huntsman freshman actually had to go and dispel them.</p>

<p>She said the sending of a test is solely based on how much information they have on what your proficency is in your target language. She said don't take not getting a letter or getting a letter to mean that you're accepted/rejected. =&lt;/p>

<p>Still, I'd rather much prefer to get a test than not... -.-"</p>

<p>Anyone else besides steev who got it?</p>

<p>Nope..</p>

<p>need_help.. if we both get into huntsman.. were goin to tokyo.. we'll pick up mad girls in shinjuku or somethin (not a big fan of those harajuku girls.. blech)</p>
