<p>Hey..</p>
<p>U talking about the scholarship interview right? (btw.. congrats!!)</p>
<p>thanks.. ya the scholarship one.. u hrd nethng from them yet?</p>
<p>Nope.. nothing yet.. But my interview was on the 9th of may.. so I'm giving it a week or two.. If they don't send me a letter by 23rd or something, I'll press the panic button!! </p>
<p>Btw, don't worry bout the scholarship interview.. Its supposed to be very short and informal.. One of my friends who got a scholarship last year told me.. You're lucky you got a scholarship interview man.. Indians rarely get scholarships.. Maybe 10 every year.. </p>
<p>Btw.. IIT is ur 1st choice? How did it go?</p>
<p>IIT.. ha ha long shot I guess.. but no harm in hoping for miracles.. :-)</p>
<p>I guess you'll be hearing from them soon :-)</p>
<p>Lol.. man this IIT mania is freaky.. anyways.. yeah hopefully I hear from SMU fast man.. Btw, which course would u be doing in Colgate? Is it better than/similar to SMU?</p>
<p>Hey.. Just got my Letter of Provisional Admission for the BBM course today!!! Happy Happy Joy Joy!! Well, now it's just waiting for the board exam results! (which were not that great :p) Anyways.. Anirudh.. I was just wondering.. how much did you get in ur ISC boards? Cause I herd that Board Marks are the criterion for a schol.. any idea what a good score wud be?</p>
<p>i got something very low.. not worth mentioning.. but I think the most important criterion for the scholarship is gonna be the SAT score.. </p>
<p>congrats on ur admission..</p>
<p>Thanks a lot! Hmm.. k thanks.. cause my CBSE board marks come out on 23rd... And I am not very hopeful!! Anyways, hope they look at my SAT1, 10th board marks and EC's for the scholarship..</p>
<p>Just got my official offer letter from SMU today, after I submitted my board marks yesterday. Now I just have to sit and wait for their scholarships/double degree decision.. Anirudh.. good to have you back.. I heard jaundice was keeping you down.. Hope ur feeling better!</p>
<p>yeh.. getting better now... congrats on ur admittance to SMU... for double degree decisions I think it shd be mentioned in ur letter..it was mentioned in mine...</p>
<p>You will also have opportunities for international exchanges and study missions. And as an elite SMU student, you have the option to pursue a double degree or a second major in any of our other courses. You can look forward to an exceptional learning experience, one that will shape your abilities and talents, and give you the edge on graduation. The SMU Edge!
...... e-mail them and ask whether u have been selected for the double-degree thing.. or perhaps they mentioned it in mine cause i asked during the phone interview</p>
<p>Anirudh, just curious...
Are u choosing Colgate over SMU? if so, Why?</p>
<p>well..i m nt very sure rite now..m awaiting for SMU's scholarship decision..n then i'll decide... ne arguments in favour of either?</p>
<p>I detest the word "elite" on their acceptance letter. :(</p>
<p>Hmm... well, I got a similar letter, except that in my letter this was given -</p>
<p>"And as an elite SMU student, you have the option to pursue a double degree or a second major in any of our other courses in your second year if you do very well in your first year. You can look forward to an exceptional learning experience, one that will shape your abilities and talents, and give you the edge on graduation. The SMU Edge!"</p>
<p>So you see, for me they have said that I can pursue a double degree in the second year. So nothing very commital. Whereas in your's, they do not mention anything about 2nd year. Wierd.. Anyways, did you get a letter informing you about your scholarship interview, or did they call you up? Also, how many days after sending you the letter of offer did they call you/e-mail you about your scholarship interview?</p>
<p>no no e-mail.. they calld me around the 9-10th may and my interview is scheduled on 31st of may n i think i got my acceptance on the 28-30 of april while my interview was for the 20th of april. not very sure of the dates though..</p>
<p>Anirudh.. Best of luck for tomorrow's Scholarship interview.. Let me know how it went.. And best of luck for IIT!!</p>
<p>Anirudh, if I were you, I will definately choose Colgate!</p>
<p>Interview went fine.. thay asked why I shd be given the scholarship and basically it was talk about the finances and what I would do if I didn't get the scholarship etc.. </p>
<p>u got ur schol intrw call ??</p>
<p>I was called today too! But when they asked why I applied for the scholarship, I gave a really stupid answer. I said: is there someone who didn't apply for it? And they said: the scholarship is limited and only 5% will get it. Oh no~ I should have said that I had financial difficulties...</p>
