<p>Oh my god. Things definitely aren’t that bad at my school. Talk about disparity :S.</p>
<p>About what percentage of the class goes abroad from your school, smartchap?</p>
<p>No no that isn’t happening right now…lol…we were speculating what would happen if the SAT took over from Boards…</p>
<p>Oh thank god, lol. I got a real shock!</p>
<p>Very few go abroad from my school…I know some who went to Singapore…dunno anyone whos gone to the US though…In my class,only 3 outta 40 students(including me) know what the SAT is…lol…but,the good thing is all 3 of us are interested in going abroad and they’re my best friends too…:D</p>
<p>That’s great. A support group is always nice to have. So where do you plan to apply, other than the US?</p>
<p>Our good ole’ Indian universities and singapore,I guess…what bout’ you?</p>
<p>Nowhere, actually!</p>
<p>People definitely carry fat SAT prep books to my school. And discuss their scores a lot. Half our class is going to the US.</p>
<p>And Iluvia, you have to have SOME way of evaluating someone’s intelligence, right? Sure, numbers don’t give the entire picture, but neither do essays or interviews or whatever else you’d recommend instead. And the holistic approach is a good one, but sometimes US admissions seem so random that I’m not sure that’s the best system either!</p>
<p>Half your class? Wow, that’s a pretty huge number. It would be about one-fourth for me.</p>
<p>I’m the only one in my class and Aakash Institute for JEE 
In fact I don’t think my branch of CMS has any alumini in the US!
I’m so freaked at the moment…I’ve topped the last chem exam at my coaching(which includes some of Lko’s best) and I might even fail at school 
@Smartchap- Btw we’re supposed to be enemies by virtue of our coaching institute :D</p>
<p>one-fourth of my class is going to america too. a few are thinking of singapore and few are thinking if going to the UK. One guy wants to go to University of Baghdad to get a new “life experience” ;).</p>
<p>Yeah, I have Singapore and UK cases in my class too. A couple of Australian wannabes as well.</p>
<p>well starting from one,students interested to pursue US education have risen to five or six in my school…</p>
<p>Anybody heard about Reed College in Oregon? Its pretty low in the USNWR LAC rankings, and yet has high selectivity. Pretty wierd.</p>
<p>It’s an amazing place. Low rank because it boycotted giving in info for the rankings.</p>
<p>Reed is right up there with ivies, John Hopkins, Harvey mudd etc from what I know :-/</p>
<p>Snoop Dogg is the coolest person on the planet, fo sho !!!</p>
<p>Did you guys see his interview on Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien? That guy is the **** homies!!!</p>
<p>Akaash and FIITJEE are rivals…lol…didn’t know…btw,I got this courier asking me to join their online distance education program last week…they give like a JEE question bank…But,I can’t let my side down,so didn’t even think about it:p</p>
<p>At least in Lucknow, they are kind of…
