<p>Are any of you coming here for the campus visit weekends? :)</p>

<p>…and HELLO EVERYONE :smiley: It has been a while.</p>

<p>^ Still in the land of indecision, TheE? ;)</p>

<p>Yessir/ma’am, I am. Will have to make a decision soon, so I won’t be able to linger there much longer, haha! ;)</p>

<p>How’ve you been? :)</p>

<p>Ma’am :wink:
Must be a nice place to be in though, yes? MIT or Harvard. Harvard or MIT. Decisions, decisions :p</p>

<p>I’ve been great, though not any longer I’m afraid. SAT on May 5 :eek:</p>

<p>You’ll be visiting the colleges/attending admitted student week(ends)?</p>

<p>It was while it lasted. I am very unwilling to leave. But tomorrow I will enroll in a certain place :p</p>

<p>Don’t be! Trust me, it’ll be fine. Anyways, SATs are not a gigantic factor in admissions!
All the best to you, ma’am! :)</p>

<p>I did attend the student weekends. It was an awesome, strange, interesting, unforgettable experience for me! :D</p>

<p>Whoa. Where is everyone? :eek:</p>

<p>TheE </p>

<p>Where do you plan on enrolling?</p>

<p>I’ve chosen Cal.</p>

<p>Yay, so many Indians going to Cal!</p>

<p>@TheEcnegilletni : Did you really attend the admit weekend at H?
How was the experience?</p>

<p>I think I’m back.</p>

<p>Or maybe not. I submitted my Columbia waitlist letter and a really awesome side video.</p>

<p>Last week of school. In fact, today is my last Tuesday of High School :D</p>

<p>Brace Yourselves. APs are coming.</p>

<p>Anyone already recd the I20 yet?</p>

<p>How long does it normally take to receive the I20 certificates from the colleges and then the visa processing?</p>

<p>Here is the stats on wait lists and acceptance <a href=“https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0ArlRBr9Qvz0mdEdLNzNsRnBKT3Z1dDZ5QTFCQVV1NkE&output=html[/url]”>2012 Admission Decisions - Google Drive;
Interestingly, Columbia does not announce its wait list numbers. </p>

<p>query123 - which college are you going?</p>

<p>here is the info from Berkeley web site.

<p>I’ll be going to Cal too :D, How many people here?</p>

<p>Since the UCs don’t differentiate their admissions statistics much, here’s what I found out: [Freshman</a> admission data 2012-13](<a href=“http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/04/17/freshman-admission-data-2012-13/]Freshman”>Freshman admission data 2012-13 | Berkeley News)</p>

<p>For *Fall 2012<a href=“%5Bu%5Dnot%20spring%202012%5B/u%5D”>/i</a>, the admit rate to Cal was 10.46%</p>

<p>UC Berkeley was more selective than Carnegie Mellon. And UCSD got 60000 applications. Wow.</p>

<p>Berkeley
California 41,190 9,348 22.7% (fall is only 18%)
Out-of-State 11,299 2,548 22.6%
International 9,213 1,142 12.4%</p>

<p>(Engineering acceptance rate is even lower)</p>

<p>It seems it is getting harder every year.</p>

Do you guys have any plans preparing a little bit academically for this fall?</p>
