<p>Thanks Tiyas, I needed to hear that. I have below par ECs, like performing magic, but I am really interested in them. No awards or such, so I am working on my essays very hard. Your admission and your words hearten me. I still have a chance. :)</p>
<p>@Karan- Gosh me too 
1st Jan, speed up! Im done with my rough draftes to 2 colls plus a rough draft of my common app. Thinking about the ec short ans and essays fr 2 more colls. Dartmouth doesnt seem too have a supp essay 
And then …oh god. Still too much to do 
Wbt u?</p>
<p>Btw, everybody, Amherst, Vassar, Williams, Wellesley dont have any issue with the CEEB code thing. Its basically upto you and the school to do it online, or not, as far as i could figure it out. YAY :D</p>
<p>@Cobalt: Made a rough draft for the commonapp essay, and the ec essay. Amherst essay complete. Some other basic questions on yale and princeton supplement complete. A lotta stuff left. Many essays i haven’t even begun to think about. Procrastination sucks.</p>
<p>Almost all top tier colleges accept it online, so no snail mail business for me too :D</p>
<p>Cool!
Im done with my princeton drafts, but havent even started on the yale and amherst ones
I know! YAY no snaiiilll maaiiillll :D</p>
<p>Erm. This might have been asked before - my LORs were given to me by my teachers on paper (with a school stamp and all). My transcript is being made atm, and it too will be given to me on paper. My school will not send them to the universities directly.</p>
<p>So what do I do? I want to apply online. Can’t I scan the sheets?</p>
<p>dreamlord, if you add the teacher’s email address on commonapp, he/she will receive a mail. If you type their LOR for them, they can just copy paste it on the commonapp from their account. Work Done</p>
<p>So all they need is an email address - yes?</p>
<p>And what about the transcript.</p>

<p>Read this and you will know.</p>
<p>Thanks. I think i’ll snail mail my transcripts and LORs. How expensive is it going to be if I have to mail them to 10 colleges?</p>
<p>perfectpixie mentioned her cost was 40k INR, but I dunno how many colleges she applied to. just a ballpark figure.</p>
<p>Ouch. That’s going to be almost a lakh for just application fees and couriers!</p>
<p>A ticket to US at at the moment is 1200-1300 $.</p>
<p>You should find someone traveling to india now and returning before deadlines to mail it for you.</p>
<p>hey guys, can u please post ur score here? am just curious about the average SAT score of indians! 
thanks</p>
<p>2040 here. Not expecting anything magical with my score.</p>
<p>2140 with 650 M. Yes, i suck :(</p>
<p>2210 retaking it in december</p>
<p>Not happy with a 2210? Jeez. I’d kill for that.</p>
<p>@Texaspg: Can we do that? Wouldn’t the colleges get suspicious to see that the envelopes haven’t been sent by the school’s address? I have my family members returning to the states before the deadlines, would it be alright to give them the transcripts?</p>
<p>@dreamlord: I am just taking it so that my chances receive a fractional boost. From what I have read on CC, after a certain point, top colleges don’t even care about SAT scores. I am just trying to compensate for my weak ECs, but I don’t think it would work. No harm in trying though. :)</p>
<p>What are your ECs like Karan?</p>
