<p>hey, prateek, what ‘ideas’ were those? and what gap year deal did you get?</p>
<p>@ Prateek : same as above…</p>
<p>I’m having bad feelings about my SAT, expecting to get less than 2000…I can’t give it again (already given it twice)…should I still give SAT2 even with a sub-2000 score…also most probably I will need fin.aid so thats another factor…should I still try to go to the States for my undergrad studies or end the dream entirely…</p>
<p>Idea 1 was to do with my club which i started:)</p>
<p>the second one was why i want to do engineering to save the earth and how India fits into that (i sounded like a business man selling his product)</p>
<p>and the third one was well…he started with why he chose to study history and then he came to religion, logic and philosophy…to which i started with the religion is the means, philosophy is the end result “idea”…in doing so i basically made him doubt his senior thesis (my ideas make me sound crazy)</p>
<p>gap year as in uhh
class of 2014…
i’m too impatient to wait that long</p>

<p>What are your other options other than the States?</p>
<p>Yale…was…awesome.</p>
<p>Brown has serious competition from my side now :/</p>
<p>India,maybe singapore and australia are my other options…</p>
<p>^same here
How many people here are serious about JEE?</p>
<p>I am serious about it…undertaking coaching too for 3 years…but,not confident of myself.My hopes are fading,which is why I’m looking at different options.</p>
<p>I’m seriously considering giving the law entrance exam too…</p>
<p>Law? Then why the US, law is a postgraduate program there right?</p>
<p>I’m guessing law would be the thing he’d do if the US doesn’t work out. Is for me.</p>
<p>And dude, don’t worry. The SATs are unpredictable - you can’t tell what you’re going to get. I got over 250 points more than I expected. Also, SAT score won’t matter THAT much, will it? Surely if everything else is great you’d still have a chance? How come you need finaid, I thought you didn’t.</p>
<p>Are there any general scholarships for Indians studying in the US?</p>
<p>Well my dad thinks that if I go to the States, then I’ll become some sort of raging drug addict (coz he read that they are thinking of legalising pot in California) and lose all of my “morals”(lost them in KG but I don’t want to pick a bone with dad)…so he plugged my funding…I can go if they give me like $25000-$30000 or if i get into Harvard or MIT(i don’t want to go to either)…i like law so that is one of my Indian options</p>
<p>Right, OK. I’m sure you’ll get into at least a couple of places with enough aid, don’t worry.</p>
<p>Wheeeeeeee!!! ISSYP rejected me! Some South Indian champu got in instead. From what google shows he has no big olympiad/kvpy/ntse etc. to his name…
How I’d love to murder that lil devil X-(</p>
<p>Chill gary…college decision time will definitely be sweeter</p>
<p>bigcheese, welcome to the club. :D</p>
<p>NICE PRATEEK…THEY ARE NOT BAD…RATHER…COOL…XD
Am not 2013er. Am 2011. XD</p>
<p>Gary: ROFL. Dont worry. You will get in in some good one…:|</p>
<p>I can’t get in any now… Only applied to ISSYP and SSP. Both rejected me. Will have to content with my silly Indian summer training…</p>
