The Hindustani College Admissions Thread #20

<p>Yeah… done with boards. Maths went AWESOMEEEE. Phew. But, IIT next. When will I wake up and think, no studies today?? :(</p>

<p>^Everyone’s following the leader. Cool.</p>

<p>Btw, what time do the Berkeley decisions come out? And Davis?</p>

<p>Woah! ^ You applied to UC Davis too? 4 UCs ?</p>

<p>Oh yeah. The UC’s were my safeties. Will it be 4/4? Waiting for it. Of course, the top priority was/is Berkeley!</p>

<p>i think its 1 am
can someone confirm that??</p>

<p>BTW Karan didnt you get into Penn ED? Congratulations for that! And yeah I heard its 5 pm on 24th California time. Too lazy to check the Indian time for that >.<</p>

<p>Karan thanks for sharing your real name. :)</p>

<p>I did mysticgohan :slight_smile:
Thanks man!!
I was confused about the whole daylight saving thing. So I wasn’t sure.</p>

<p>Haha debarghya9. I was never a fan so cyber names anyways :slight_smile: I presume yours in debarghya only.</p>

<p>^Right. Although, in my case, it’s simply because I didn’t read the instructions when I was signing up.</p>

<p>Wow Karan thats absolutely fantastic man! UPenn is amazing! So you had a pretty easy college admissions eh? ;)</p>

<p>Hahaha yess, the Gods were kind to me :slight_smile:
I was saved from the torture that is RD.
But know that I think of it, I kinnda miss waiting for decisions. Its nerve racking.
The moment were you jam the living hell out of F5 and where your past 4 years roll before your eyes is amazing. When your mom, dad and whoever else is staring at the screen. When all you can think of is why didn’t I do a little bit more??</p>

<p>You can actually hear your heart beat. The quiet becomes noisy. And then your mind goes into arrest when the final reload takes a second longer. You start hating yourself for everything you did when you were supposed to be studying. Your throat chokes up and then when the first word you read is ‘Congratulations!!’ your heart goes through this almost inexplainable phase where you just wanna scream.
Thats what the night of 30th March will bring for you guys.
Trust me, the Ivy wait is amazing!!</p>

<p>Best of luck you fools.</p>

<p>

Not sure you’d say that had the result been a rejection :p</p>

<p>hhaha
true :)</p>

<p>I hope the words “HURRAH HURRAH PENNSYLVANIA!” appear on my decision letter too :)</p>

<p>True that! Haha how do you know what RD feels like? Or are you just extrapolating from what you experienced for ED? Haha yeah its magnified 8 times :wink: Id rather not know when the result is coming though >.< It makes the wait easier and less intense as you so eloquently described haha ;). But then college admissions arent the end of the world and plus most of us really dont know how good a fit a college will be until we attend there; and since we attend only one college there is no way to determine our best fit. I guess its not too good to label one place as a dream place and then feel very disappointed if it doesnt go well :(</p>

<p>i presume the RD is experience is the same as ED. Just 8x more :)</p>

<p>But for a 17 year olds college is by far the most important thing. Its obviously not the end of the world, but is pretty big.
Think positive. It will go perfectly :slight_smile:
Berkeley today. YAY</p>

<p>^ wow I totally agree with gfxlabzz here!!</p>

<p>Introduce yourself dear newcomer :)</p>

<p>Hey I dont dispute that it is pretty big. Im just saying be positive and hope for the best but dont get too bogged down by the not so nice things in life. Cause there are much bigger things :)</p>

<p>Btw does anyone know exactly when the Berkeley decisions are out? IST of course ;)</p>
