<p>Didnt you say this : “I am from an EXTREMELY POOR family with annual income of $2000.”
??? Enough already</p>
<p>^ Ya this is true… But the annual income is only for 2011. If you are hell bent on fighting with me do let me know your email I’d I will send you my father’s salary slip. </p>
<p>Btw I have already decided to study bachelor’s of financial and investment analysis from SSCBS, Delhi University which is regarded as one of the best undergrad business schools of Asia.</p>
<p>I will just chime in … your uncle is correct. You should go to undergrad in India, keep your English up, and then apply to grad school in the US. Your undergrad degree (and where you received it) is not as important as where you receive your masters or PhD.</p>
<p>This whole process is an experience, and it seems you have learned a lot. I wish you well at whatever school you end up choosing.</p>
<p>^Ya surely this has been a learning curve for me… I have learnt a lot about myself and I am also learning to cope with failures.</p>
<p>Not interested in fighting. Just pointing out discrepancies that make the story hard to follow and accept on face value.</p>
<p>^ Truce… 
</p>
<p>How to write a waitlist follow up letter ?</p>
<p>Check to make sure you can afford to attend before you accept a spot on ANY of these waitlists. If the schools do NOT guarantee to meet full need for ALL accepted international students off of waitlists, then you would not be able to attend. What would be the point of accepting a spot on the waitlist under those circumstances.</p>
<p>To be honest, I would go with one of the acceptances you already have, with the financial aid you have been given. </p>
<p>You applied to 14 schools…and got accepted at 2. Of the remaining schools MOST were huge reaches and the rest were reaches.</p>
<p>^^^ What thumper says. Plus, don’t forget that having a full ride in undergrad looks really good on GRAD school applications.</p>
<p>…this person is crazy. Using a $200 smartphone with a annual income of $2000. I know your uncle gave it to you, but you could sell it if things are really that bad. </p>
<p>Anyway you were accepted with FULL tuition at KSU and Adelphi, why would you not go there??</p>
<p>I can’t sell a phone which was gifted by a loved one. </p>
<p>One very serious question -</p>
<p>Which is a better option - Adelphi/KSU or a Bachelor’s degree in Financial and investment analysis from SSCBS, Delhi University which is regarded as one of the best undergrad business schools of Asia.</p>
<p>Cost of SSCBS is just $280 per annum.</p>
<p>College details :-</p>

<p>Course details :-</p>
<p><a href=“http://sscbsdu.ac.in/courses/bfia.html[/url]”>http://sscbsdu.ac.in/courses/bfia.html</a></p>
<p>The most important factor after cost is that I want to attend graduate school in the US.</p>
<p>A degree from Adelphi or KSU is not going to provide you any advantage whatsoever in financial analysis and investment. It will be like a degree from anywhere else. It’s not going to help you much with a topflight graduate school admission in the U.S. either. You might be able to land some helpful internship opportunities from Adelphi’s location (though not easily). You should know that the better graduate business schools in the U.S. admit very few students directly from undergrad, but expect students to have worked for several years first. Delhi, meanwhile, is one of the burgeoning centers of the financial world (though not like Mumbai).</p>
<p>
but you’ll let your parents risk losing their house by refinancing (which, based on current income, they probably couldn’t qualify for anyway, if mortgages work the same way over there).
BTW, what is KSU? Kansas State? Kennesaw State?</p>
<p>I would go with Delhi, especially if you would be able to live at home, and also since it seems to be what your uncle wants you to do (and he would be the one financing a grad school education, correct?)</p>
<p>Considering we don’t know if this is the case of an incredibly immature and culturally obtuse young man either a) going to school in Dehli (as he said) or reapplying to American reaches (as he said)</p>
<p>or </p>
<p>B) a ■■■■■ yanking our collective chains</p>
<p>I’d suggest we just ignore him. He asked questions, we gave advice. He says he made a decision. Or not. But I think on our end, case should be closed.</p>
<p>@jym You are after everything I say. In an earlier post I have clearly said that eventhough my parents are ready to mortgage the house, I am not ready to take the risk. I am NOT interested to study at Kent state or adelphi. </p>
<p>@keabie - ya he is the one who would finance my grad studies. I agree with you that Delhi is a better option more so because the college is very reputed accross India.</p>
<p>“I am NOT interested to study at Kent state or adelphi”</p>
<p>So why ask which is better? In your post #70? Bet I know… to prolong the trollothon…</p>
<p>And I would say this to a kid from here…WHY did you bother applying to Adelphi and Kent State (with application fee waivers on less) if you had no intention of attending either of these schools if accepted. Both offered you free tuition according to your other posts. Your wealthy relative would only be paying for your room/board/expenses costs which would be about $15,000 a year. Did you discuss these finances with anyone before you applied? Or were you anticipating even more generous financial aid from other schools?</p>
<p>I agree with others…staying in India for undergrad is probably in your financial best interests. Before you apply to grad schools in the U.S., be SURE that you understand the financial aspects of being able to attend. There is even LESS college funding for MBA programs with most students being full pay students. And as noted, many of the better schools would want to see some work history on your admission application for a MBA program.</p>
<p>I am sorry if I have disturbed people here. I am really SORRY. </p>
<p>I was a bit disturbed after 29th, but now I am back to my senses and I have decided to study in Delhi for the time being atleast. </p>
<p>So case closed. Thanks and sorry. :)</p>
<p>Seriously when I look back, the whole year seems a hodgepodge to me now… I shouldn’t have applied to US with such weak resources. I underestimated the selectivity of the US schools because I had got into very selective Indian schools ( Which even though have as low acceptance rate as the top US schools, the admission is based solely on a test. So I thought that the SAT was something like that. I wasn’t really aware of the holistic review. ) </p>
<p>I was literally unaware of the whole process so I messed up the whole thing. :(</p>
<p>I hope people forgive me here.</p>
