The Hindustani College Admissions Thread #20

<p>Guys I just went to this nice little UChicago alumni, parents and friends get-together with the Prez of UChicago at the Taj. It was pretty cool, met a lot of interesting people there :). [sorry, I couldnt help showing off]</p>

<p>With the PRESIDENT of UChicago? WOW.</p>

<p>Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS COLLEGEBECKONS AND DESPERADO!!! I am so very happy for you, you completely deserved it and this just proves how unpredictable college admissions are! Especially you desperado, after the Wellesley fiasco, this exemplifies how you must never lose hope! Good job you two! :smiley:
Second, good luck to all the Berkeley applicants! Fingers crossed for all.
Third, I slept through the match. I will change my status anyway because I have the conscience of 1 billion people weighing on me. I’m reading the report right now and gosh, what an amazing game.</p>

<p>the tags are awesome!!</p>

<p>Got through UC, Davis also. Damn, I’m LOVING it. :))</p>

<p>Collegebeckons: congratulations on Uc Davis also …your on one hell of a roll today …

<p>No hooks… </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>I am just a regular, run of the mill applicant with hahahahamazing result!! :)</p>

<p>who put my name in the tags??
Lol, I will exact revenge. Only if I knew who it was.
You have untill midnight tmrw to tell me, otherwise ill put Aniruddh’s name.</p>

<p>Congrats collegebeckons! Don’t bother about any other decisions now. Just go to Cornell.</p>

<p>Karan why would I, in particular, do it? What the hell :S
There are thousands of lurkers reading our posts. One of your friends must have tagged that? I have only one tag up… “tag 2 rflct mood of thcat”</p>

<p>BTW everyone ready for Berkeley? I stayed up all night like a fool.</p>

<p>wait, I thought it was supposed to come out at some 1am?</p>

<p>I am STILL awake, waiting for Berkeley. I don’t know why, though. :slight_smile:
Best of luck, people. I’ll stay awake till 5!!</p>

<p>Nah, 4:30am now… :|</p>

<p>wait, 5 pm pasific time is 6 am Dubai time and 7 30 Your time.

<p>lol ?!?!?! Anyway, best of luck guys.</p>

<p>congratulations collegebeckons and desperado!
Desperado, I’m extra happy for you, since I know about the cornell deferral. :D</p>

<p>Good luck guys, isn’t the result out yet?</p>

<p>Great, I conk off when my own results come out, and when it’s someplace I haven’t even applied, I’m wide awake.</p>

<p>Chelsea, wouldn’t it be mynameisv who tagged you? since you both know each other?
Or wait, is mynameisv from Singapore? I can’t remember…</p>

<p>So anticlimatic. They have not released the decisions.</p>

<p>@mystic - There’s nothing spectactular in applying to a number of colleges and then politely being rejected by them, which I suspect is what might be happening soon. :-/</p>

<p>@desperado - Same advice I gave collegebeckons. ENJOY THE DAY! We’ll all be here to talk about it once you’re back. :D</p>

<p>@Everyone - Ooh…aah…this awkward. Last time I checked the Berkeley application website, it nad said noon, but that was days/weeks ago. Changed to ‘in the evening’. Sorry for making you stay up, aniruddh. :P</p>

<p>** University of California- Berkeley **</p>

<p><em>ouch</em> Preparing myself for the same. That online list was pretty much a giveaway anyway.</p>

<p>Tell me your decision!!!</p>
