The Hindustani College Admissions Thread #20

<p>But congratulations to all who did, Berkeley is fantastic :D</p>

<p>Rejected @ Harvey Mudd. Don’t think I would have fit in there anyways, I’m a ladies man :stuck_out_tongue:
Did anyone here get into Harvey Mudd?</p>

<p>Hey Desperado and Collegebeckons! Bravo! :smiley: Thats phenomenal! And you both totally deserve it :smiley: Enjoy as the feeling slowly sinks in :)</p>

<p>Rejected @ HMC</p>

<p>So i Just found out Berkley did not receive my 2290 before the 20th of January,my decision was probably based on my previous 2150.Boy am I ****ed :-|</p>

<p>Anyones CMU page says anything about their letter being dispatched?
And that’s $99 of acceptance</p>

<p>The dream run had to end somewhere, right? :slight_smile:
Got rejected by Berkeley. I thought I’d get in though. Well, whatever. Tata, here I come! :slight_smile:
Congratulations to everybody who got in!!! It’s a wonderful school!!!</p>

<p>@collegebeckons… Coming to Mumbai?? ( Darn, I have to cancel plans with friends…shucks…) See you there then</p>

<p>Pixie and arunemo, thanks for those kind words… yeah, after wait lists and defers, this feels good…</p>

<p>Rejected - Berkeley </p>

<p>Wait-listed - Harvey Mudd College</p>

<p>^Sorry to hear that itsmylife. :frowning:
I know this will probably sound really weird coming from me (who was cribbing about waitlists herself few days back), but I think a Wait-list from HMC is pretty good too. That school hardly takes any students on aid. So they must have really seriously considered you. Plus the school must have a lot of cross admits with MIT/CalTech, so you probably have a good chance of getting in. :slight_smile:
Fin aid troubles suck. I strongly dislike how they create so much trouble. It’s even worse when one gets into someplace, and can’t afford to go. :/</p>

<p>Same ani, Wolverine, CSF, Violator, mysticgohan (although I really don’t get why you are even waiting for other schools when you’ve got caltech/cambridge. Don’t go for the name. Go for where the employers and a real engineering education is. So I’m not as sorry for you as I am for the rest. ;)).
Ani, but don’t forget what you have. Three schools. :slight_smile:

Don’t you have Pomona girls? And summer all around? ;)</p>

<p>I wish I’d applied to Cornell now. I basically Inky-Pinky-Ponkeyed my way b/w Cornell and Penn which were going to be the last Ivy I was going to apply to. I like neither school so… Just for the fin aid I did penn.</p>

<p>thanks pix. I hope something good comes up. :)</p>

<p>Hey is this just me, but I can’t see the “Threads you have created” option in my control panel.</p>

<p>pixie, have you looked at Statistics tab in your Your Profile?</p>

<p>Yeah, that one is there, but the one in my control panel just disappeared without notice. I’m insulted.</p>

<p>got into Berkeley :)</p>

<p>Congrats Karan! But you’re a Penn EDer right?</p>

<p>yes yes
Ill reply saying no to berkeley after my Computer Science exam.</p>

<p>I took it lightly and now I am screwed!!</p>

<p>Haha yeah thanks for that Pixie :slight_smile: You’re right, my situation’s pretty good and Im not really bummed about Berkeley. Just not a nice thing to wake up to haha >.< To the others who couldnt make it, itsmylife has a good point, college admissions are totally random and that you shouldnt really take it to heart. There are many many more decisions to go, stay positive people! :D</p>

<p>How come you got in Karan your name wasn’t even on that directory <em>raises eyebrow</em></p>

<p>Hmm my parents and sister were like what the hell $99 for a letter?! etc etc. But atleast now I know that I am not gonna be paying 100 bucks for a rejection. The weight of the letter is around 1.7 lbs according to UPS. Wow.</p>
