<p>Actually, now that I remember, I know a guy who was turned down by both MIT and Caltech. And he’s doing pretty well at Princeton now.
(Yay. I contributed to the discussion!)</p>
<p>@itsmylife99 - Thanks. Although tomorrow’s post will be better. I promise. A good night’s sleep (assuming my sinuses behave) will help me write out the Epilogue. Although the Prologue was better than the actual post, which was a bit haphazard. First attempt at live blogging. So forgive and forget. :P</p>
<p>Got a friend waitlisted at CalTech. He applied for aid as well.</p>
<p>My friend got waitlisted at MIT.</p>
<p>I know someone who rejected MIT.</p>
<p>^ You ? Hehe.</p>
<p>Rejected MIT for what ? My guess is either Stanford or Caltech</p>
<p>@TippuSultan - Why is posting from a Cr48 reason enough to edit the post? ;)</p>
<p>It is sad that the who person started this thread won’t be able to post on CC again unless …</p>
<p>Send PM if you want to know.</p>
<p>So am I correct to presume that the next big decision date for us Indian applicants is March 24th (UC Berkeley) ?</p>
<p>Guess so. But I’ve become impervious to rejections from top colleges now. ;)</p>
<p>Hey people, </p>
<p>I don’t know what’s up with the guys at Carnegie Mellon but they just keep losing the stuff I’ve sent them! My application was finally complete on March 8. Since the decision date is only a few weeks away, would it hamper my chances?</p>
<p>^ I don’t think so. btw, congrats on your UTA admission!</p>
<p>UTA’s (Cockrell) international pool must be really competitive. This or the fact that they accept a very small number of int’l students (which I don’t think is the case).</p>
<p>@manav: What did they lose? Does that not show up on your ‘Where am I in the process’ page ?</p>
<p>I’ve been relatively lucky with CMU. They got pretty much everything on time. In fact, some of the thing which might’ve been misplaced by other universities were all processed perfectly fine by CMU. I like its tracker the best. It even lets you know when your folder was pulled for reading!</p>
<p>Anyone applied to University of Iowa?</p>
<p><em>shrugs and looks around</em></p>
<p>@Tippu</p>
<p>I know someone who rejected MIT for Stanford. Give a choice, I’d do the same :p</p>
<p>@compscifan</p>
<p>The next big admissions decision, at least for me, is UChicago. 19th March But I’m trying to not be too optimistic. Apparently, UChicago isn’t fond of ORMs applying 100% financial aid :p</p>
<p>@thetechnut
You’ve just been rejected from one college yet! Impervious to rejections… already? :O</p>
<p>BTW, I just got accepted to McGill. :D</p>
<p>Thing is, on the decisions website it says “Admitted Pending Final Results”. So I’m guessing my final board results are kinda important to them. But for US colleges, I knew that 80%+ was enough to NOT get your offer rescinded 
So I was kinda slacking. :|</p>
<p>Any idea what would be a “safe” board result for McGill? :/</p>
<p>Rejected from 2 actually. Caltech and MIT. But it’s more of a change in my perspective, rather than an immunity to rejection. Elaborated on it at length on the trilogy of pi day posts on my blog.</p>
<p>Congrats on McGill. Regardless of what minimum percentage they want, keep your board result as possible. Remember, you might consider applying to grad school at some point later. They’ll want a copy of your final HS transcript at the very least.</p>
<p>*board result as “high” as possible.
No idea where the word disappeared…</p>
