The Indian Thread #20

<p>well no. i feel sheepish to say this…but no ive never actually scored them. although my math is almost mostly perfect and english is acceptable. im trying to achieve perfection in english currently:)</p>

<p>@texaspg- that giving of SAT in dec and jan was just a hypothetical situation.
and thanks for the answer! :)</p>

<p>youre heartily welcome:D</p>

<p>@akash, great, try the DH series (pretty much helped me a lot!!) and also u DO have much time till the march SAT! btw, just curious, u are in ISC or CBSE?</p>

<p>ps that thanks was for @texaspg, but nm! :P</p>

<p>:D i knew that thanks was for @texaspg. i was trolling around.
and im in ISC board. and i live in Calcutta. any more questions for me? im free to answer you.</p>

<p>p.s. can i add you as friend?</p>

<p>my question got buried in this intense discussion/deliberation!</p>

<p>shut up meche. im discussing important things with rew:D
and do me a favor by accepting my friend request.</p>

<p>

^the part of my question still left unanswered!! :&lt;/p>

<p>rew could you plz tell me your budget in applying to colleges and giving sat and toefl and stuff. In Rupees. total budget. i have to inform my parents.</p>

<p>Akashdip, start using google.
Rew Just try to score a 2200+ to have a good chance. But in no way does a score guarantee admission. There are a lot of other factors too.
Meche You can selectively send scores using the score choice feature on collegeboard. But some colleges like Stanford want all scores and reject the score choice feature. So you better check the individual websites of the schools to make sure.</p>

<p>karan i dont wanna use google for calculating my budget. its all in $. i need, or rather my parents need rupees, and i dont wanna work out the conversion. i just wanna know whats the total budget of you guys, is it so hard to give it out?</p>

<p>kinda yes! dont know much though!
102$- SAT-1 = Rs 5000+ (ppl give it like 2 times atleast, or else ur a genius)
applying for a single college is like 1200Rs each!! and sending scores cost extra few grands!! :expressionless: dunno about toefl and SAT2!</p>

<p>@karan: i know that! there are MANY factors influencing ur admission chance!! any suggestions to get a 2200+? am scoring a raw 2000ish! :(( HELP!!</p>

<p>means total of Rs. 15000? or more?</p>

<p>The schools won’t tell you what scores you need to get in. You only get an indication of what is a reasonable score based on the averages published by each school. If one’s scores don’t fall within the middle 50 percentile published by the school, the odds are much lower at that school.</p>

<p>

Hahaha :D</p>

<p>Anyways, going to submit the UC application in a few hours :)</p>

<p>hey why u have to highlight my name? feels kinda stupid. and like i dont know anything about the net and google. </p>

<p>and what about you? whats your budget? :smiley: sorry for being annoying.</p>

<p>@akashdip - 1$ ~ Rs 51 these days. Now google.</p>

<p>i know iamthebist. i just waned to know you guys’ opinion.</p>
