<p>With everything, not just having a lot of friends around! Lol.</p>
<p>@rt_08: What do you plan on majoring in?</p>
<p>Ivy leaguers, can you please link us to your stats wherever you have posted them?</p>
<p>major:
Physics(general field–>specialization in Astrophysics or Quantum Sub Physics)
minor:
International Relations???really well still not confirmed…
what about you?</p>
<p>Me? Ah, the world is full of limitless possibilities :).</p>
<p>Neither Brown nor Yale is particularly famous for physics though (although I’m sure neither is too shabby), why are you planning on applying early there then? If you don’t mind my asking…</p>
<p>well i would probably apply early at Yale(reason…my dream college)
although my first choice would be CalTech(but they dont give ample aid…)</p>
<p>Ah okay. No Stanford?</p>
<p>nopes,i feel they are stingy when it comes to aid
also MIT is always on my list(well lets c,u know it is a temporary list…lol)</p>
<p>Would you please shed some light on us about your college list</p>
<p>Haha temporary lists are the story of everyone’s life :D</p>
<p>Me? OK, big on LACs/small universities. Brown, Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst, Midd, Princeton, Carleton and Rice are what I have listed out so far.</p>
<p>Since when is Princeton a small university?</p>
<p>I feel like I’m the only Indian around who wants to study the Humanities. :(</p>
<p>Wow! I’m the only one here with no ‘list’.
I probably don’t even know about half the good universities 
By the way, can you guys roughly arrange these universities in order of expected aid-
Univ of Michigan- Ann & Abor
Univ of Illinois- Urbana C(don’t rem spelling)
Georgiatech
MIT(at the top I guess?)
Caltech
UC Berkley
Ivies
NTU
NUS
ANU
U of Waterloo
U of Toronto
(Any other top class science/engineering/nuclear physics specializing college I missed out)
Also, in which of these are you certain that you’ll have to pay more than $10K p.a. even after the best financial aid possib;e.
Thanks!</p>
<p>Berkeley doesn’t give any aid to internationals.</p>
<p>Princeton is small in the sense that it’s focused on undergrads, that’s what I’m really looking for.</p>
<p>Hey, don’t feel left out, I may well steer into the International Relations field!</p>
<p>Don’t count on aid from any public university. You’re only eligible for merit scholarships at those.</p>
<p>Anyone here applied to any summer programs out of India?
@tetris-International relations? lol cool. Why exactly do you want to take that up?
@Quasi- What exactly in humanities?
@Everyone- How many of you are taking the coming SAT? And which centre? Also, which books are you using? I heard Barrons>Princeton(Ony one I have now)>Kaplans>Rest
P.S. It would be nice if the '10 applicants could PM their messenger IDs to me if you don’t mind 
It’ll be much more enlightening to talk real time hehe.
(Ok, I know I sound silly 
)</p>
<p>Most California schools are stingy with international aid. Kind of a bummer…I wanted to be in California.</p>
<p>gary: History, literature, psych, soc, art history, gender studies, anthropology, philosophy, one of those. Haha. Probably interdisciplinary studies since I can’t decide! Aren’t those summer programs expensive? I don’t even know of any! I’m taking the June SAT btw. I like Barrons the most too but apparently the December SAT had a heavy load of questions that were basically from the Princeton Review with words and numbers switched around. It could be just a rumour, though.</p>
