<p>Also, repeat of last year?</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1311823-bug-see-if-you-enrolled.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1311823-bug-see-if-you-enrolled.html</a></p>
<p>^ That’s a thread asking if the bug is still valid. No it’s not ;)</p>
<p>king julian, did you apply for aid at all your colleges?</p>
<p>Tizil</p>
<p>Murphy’s Law…Everything that goes up must come down.
So by that logic what comes down must go up. Therefore if the job market is down in the dumps now, by the time you guys graduate it will be healthy again and so everything is going to be back on track. That is how I like to see things.</p>
<p>Enjoy reading</p>

<p>“And lay down like a snake…let me finish the sentence for you Tizil, and if anybody dares to mess with me…beware I am the King Cobra”</p>
<p>That is the mood my D would have been in.</p>
<p>Yikes! Cornell U decisions are just 8 hours away!! :O</p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea as to when Harvard will be sending the decisions?</p>
<p>5 pm est… 2:30 AM IST</p>
<p>Yes, Shrey! Applied for aid. By the way, I got deferred by Harvard for ED. Guys, I just read a post in the Harvard forum about the Harvard acceptance rate falling to about 3.3% (yikes)!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>False. </p>
<p>I’m tempted by my discrete math class to correct this common logical fallacy that shows up ever so often. The first statement is:
If a thing goes up => It will come down.
The second statement, however, is:
If a thing comes down => It will go up.
It’s not a two way implication.
A good analogy for this would be “If it rains, then I take out my umbrella” is not the same as “If I take out my umbrella, then it rains”.</p>
<p>I still get what your train of thought with that post was and I completely agree, but still I feel this compelling urge to cracking nerdy Math/CS Jokes even if I get a sliver of opportunity, so pardon me. My sense of humor is slightly twisted haha.</p>
<p>Go ahead. I don’t mind. Not at all.</p>
<p>Actually I dropped Math like a hot potato the first chance I got Class 10 Boards, which was way back in 1980. But I did finish my schooling with Science stream minus Math. Laws of physics I can relate to, but CS/Math ones, I do not even want to go near them. So whatever you were trying to tell me might be logical but I did not get any of it.</p>
<p>“It’s not a two way implication.” </p>
<p>The key word in above sentence, for (me) is implication. And I was referring to logic.</p>
<p>That is why I like word play more because that makes more sense to me. And also because I am a die hard optimist.</p>
<p>I’m sorry but YIATG is absolutely right. This is in fact logic and the implication does not go both ways. Oh and good luck kids!</p>
<p>It is OK either way, logic or implication, if that is want you guys want to believe, go ahead and brood and get ready for how gloomy the future is going to be because your logic dictates so. Each to his own… In the end every body lived happily ever after…</p>
<p>Guys 7 hours to go!</p>
<p>I can never forget last year’s d-day. It ended up becoming the happiest day of my life. :’-)</p>
<p>Good luck to you all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>so, parents and students, to what extent do you think this is rather true in actuality?
i mean, this is true in a lot of ways.
so then, to fund your education, you have no other way but to financial commit to US for like more than 4-5 years?
dear parents here on CC, what are your views on this topic (setting aside the Murphys law and having a more practical approach) ?</p>
<p>Haha anialways, you’re exactly like my econ teacher. Ever the optimist. Not to say that I’m otherwise :D</p>
<p>Anyways, from an economic point of view, are boom-bust cycles so short as to last 4 years?</p>
<p>Chubby, I hope it’s the happiest day of our lives, yet.</p>
<p>6 hours!</p>
<p>6 long hours and then another two till Berkeley!</p>
<p>First of all, good luck to everyone! Again, this may sound cliche, everything happens for a reason. Each one of you has the capability to succeed WHEREVER you go.</p>
<p>@anialways - I understand what you meant by big city girl. NY was the place that I first landed myself and nothing compares to that city.</p>
<p>So everyone look for what will “Fit” you (and what you can afford) and dont go purely on some USNews Ranking. Each of these universities really are world class institutions and what you do there and the opportunities you avail of will drive your future.</p>
<p>I have lots I want to say but I’ll say it after decisions. You guys over time have become like my extended virtual family. And family sticks together. So no matter what happens, acceptance, rejection don’t feel as if you’re alone. We started this together and we’re going to end it and no force in the world is going to take it away from us. </p>
<p>Good luck and I’ll see you on the other happier side. </p>
<p>LET’S GO!</p>
<p>Don’t forget Stanford tomorrow. Definitely my top choice.</p>
<p>Pratyush, it’s not tomorrow. It’s going to be released on 1st April.</p>
<p>Imagine, you log in and it says “Congratulations! You’ve been accepted!” Then, you need to scroll 10 pages to click the “continue” button, but just below it, in small font type, it says “Aprils Fool! You’ve been rejected.”</p>
<p>Me and my friends were talking about how evil yet funny this would be :p</p>
<p>Nocensure, ILY2 :D</p>
