<p>I assume it'll get more competitive this year.</p>
<p>As I can afford to pay not more than $2500 a year (even that's stretching it), I applied to only top schools. I'm waiting for decisions from Columbia, Dartmouth, Yale, Princeton and Harvard. If none of them work out, I'll apply to Drexel in late March and hope for a full scholarship.</p>

<p>For the kids who can afford to pay, it won't; maybe it never will.</p>
<p>No, I think it will get more competitive even for those who can pay. Internationals are applying in droves to the top colleges nowadays, as people seek to break away from the pre-professional educations offered in their home countries.</p>
<p>^ Maybe it is, but at a rate much slower than that for aid applicants. If you can afford to pay the sticker price, I'm sure you can get into atleast Syracuse and Ohio State. Atleast you're sure that you'll land up somewhere.</p>
<p>Agreed, agreed. So where in India are you from?</p>
<p>^ You have a completely same situation as mine.</p>
<p>Bard recruited me for Basketball but I didn't apply in the end. They wanted lot of stuff which I couldn't provide at that time.</p>
<p>I'm from Kolkata.</p>
<p>Oh, lots of people seem to apply from Kolkata. Do you know taemi who used to frequent these boards last year?</p>
<p>***wtnurfhaiufiabfasbfasf</p>
<p>Kolkata? Which school? FTW</p>
<p>Nope, I joined this year.</p>
<p>Sorry Gentoo Cow, I'd rather keep that private.</p>
<p>Ah...taemi got into Harvard and Brown, and currently attends H. Oh yeah, Ajay's from Kolkata too! :D</p>
<p>^ Heights of paranoia. :p</p>
<p>Not really. He could be the guy who got slapped after poking you Ajay :D</p>
<p>yay! Another paranoid one! Join the club.... 3 (me, tetris, you) and counting... We'd gladly disclose who else we're inviting but its against our confidentiality policy.</p>
<p>I am not sending you the invitation to our secret group on FB now,Narsil.</p>
<p>Shruthi : Nope. He went to Kota. He was an elephant. Git.</p>
<p>Our confidentiality policy also states that we can't disclose if we have already joined another secret club that we're not supposed to.</p>
<p>Edit: No, actually, that's in our Privacy Policy. But I guess I shouldn't have disclosed that.... <em>stares suspiciously out the window</em></p>
<p>ok ftw are we talking about here?</p>
<p>Exactly what I was thinking.</p>
