<p>Ani, beta kaun sa desi google use kar raha tha? :O</p>
<p>lol! Just type Denison on Google…</p>
<p>DUDE, the FIRST result I got on google was of the university website.</p>
<p>^Seconded!</p>
<p>Yea, but only the first result. Usually, with universities, most of the results in the next 50 pages are about the university.</p>
<p>My bad. I don’t think I saw the first result :|</p>
<p>aniruddh, be alert. things will go crazy come december. u have to write so many essays and if u r not careful then u will end up submitting mit essay to stanford or something like that. u’ll not stop facepalming until ur face pops out on the backside. trust me, i’ve seen it happen :p</p>
<p>Yeah, one of my friends spelt chemistry wrong as a reesult of which he didn’t get into Dartmouth… He’s going to ucb though…</p>
<p>That wasn’t the deal breaker for sure!:)</p>
<p>I think he got into stanford as well… But he didn’t get aid or something… Idk</p>
<p>@aniruddh- I did stuff like this- <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/stanford-university/873837-penn-my-stanford-o.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/stanford-university/873837-penn-my-stanford-o.html</a> and more…
Trust me, you DO NOT want to start writing your essays on the last few days :-/</p>
<p>Oh my God.</p>
<p>You obviously got rejected, no doubts about that.</p>
<p>F u c k .</p>
<p>F u c k Stanford!
The place that was actually on my mind when I wrote that essay obviously accepted me, no doubts about that either.</p>
<p>So all is still well in the world :D</p>
<p>P.S. No offense to Stanford guys. Its a great college, just not for me :P</p>
<p>Yeah yeah, sure.</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>how long did it take all of you to write essays? I also plan to apply to 10-12 schools since I’m an international as well, so I can’t take things for granted.</p>
<p>EDIT: Anyone get into TOP20 schools? If so, what were your stats and did you apply for FA? (trying to gauge where I stand)</p>
<p>Viggy, I applied to 10 universities and started writing my essays in late november but I strongly recommend you to start earlier.</p>
<p>I did get into a top 20 univ with an almost full ride but my stats are only okayish. I will tell you the basic things you should have if you are applying for FA and are aiming for a TOP20 univ.</p>
<p>SAT’s are imp but not so much. Try to get a 2200+ in SAT reasoning and a 2300+ in SAT Subject. A very important thing is your school academic record. Aim for a Top 1% atleast.</p>
<p>You need to have good recs and EC’s and remember, essays play a major role in the admissions process. Apart from that, you would need some luck to get in as an international with aid at a top university.</p>
<p>Viggy: I procrastinated a lot and I ended up writing my essays about 8 hours before the deadline. Don’t do that. Start early. I got rejected from a whole bunch load of places because of that (IMO). Don’t let it happen to you.
The highest ranked univ. I got into was UNC. That’s not top 20, so it won’t answer your question.</p>
<p>Wanderer202, can you post your stats for me or PM me? </p>
<p>Also, what uni. did you get into with almost a full ride? </p>
<p>And when do you recommend to start essays by?</p>
<p>@Viggy- I’ll go with what blue said. I applied to 12 colleges, and barely had a draft or two prepared before the last day. 9/12 of my applications were submitted AFTER deadlines. DO NOT let that happen to you!</p>
