Woah KAS is expensive, lol!

I guess KAS beats Grammar as regards teacher qualifications. At Grammar quite a few teachers (though by no means all) have studied at good places abroad and most of those that have studied from Pakistan are also quite good… and I guess it helps that we always have a very well qualified, usually English, principal. Interestingly our French teacher also went to Sorbonne. However, we don’t have anyone that can speak 7 languages lol!

Grammar also has a strong counselling system and a cool student body that you will learn from a lot. At KGS there are all sorts of people from all strains of political and religious views, and just the debate and discussion develops you personally.

But the best part I liked about KGS was that we automatically get bragging rights to the “Grammar” brand-name :D. For instance, although other cities have come up with schools with similar-sounding names, my MIT interviewer constantly referred to it as “Grammar” not “KGS”.

hb730, STANFORD TOO?

You’re a machiiiiiine man

mushoo · March 26, 2010, 10:38pm

hb730: Heartiest congratulations on your amazing acceptances!!!

The_Juggernaut_1 · March 27, 2010, 12:22am

Congratulations hb.

Do you think you’ll end up going?

Also, no LGS, KGS, Roots acceptances to “the Farm?”

hb730 · March 27, 2010, 3:03am

Thank you all so much! I’m still waiting on the rest of my decisions before deciding on any one school. @The Juggernaut: I don’t know anyone else, do you?

@Mushoo: well brand-name is great; KAS doesn’t have too much I guess but it does where it counts. I mean, 2 of my interviewers were alums and one had significant connections to it, and it’s not that big a school. It’s pretty neat to find out your interviewer knows your school so well.

Inert101 · March 27, 2010, 5:49am

Are the rootsians who got into stanford the same as the ones who got into MIT?

WILLZ2010 · March 27, 2010, 5:51am

nah they are not the same students

hb730 · March 27, 2010, 6:06am

Thanks Dark_Angel!

It’ll be interesting to see which of them will attend, because I may actually get to know them in person next year :)

Samtjt · March 27, 2010, 9:09am

How many of u have got full rides and from where?

talaltq · March 27, 2010, 12:09pm

@Samtjt: Cool man! I was paying the same here for Pakistani Intermediate education =P The worst two A-level schools here have fees around 500 riyals which is around 11000 rupees per month, and the rest start from 46,000 rupees per month =P

@hb730: Paying 12,000 dollars for AMERICAN high school education seems like a REAL HUGE RIP-OFF! Many congratulations on getting into those huge places you got into Mashallah! Now my question, would you have been able to get into the same places if you had paid a “normal” amount for your education? =P

@samtjt: What’s a full ride?

FarazSalahuddin · March 27, 2010, 1:51pm

100 % scholarship I presume.

Dark_Angel_1 · March 27, 2010, 2:32pm

Hb @; how many more unis are u waiting for ??

Samtjt · March 27, 2010, 3:20pm

@talaltq
Yeah 100 % aid/scholarship

Inert101 · March 27, 2010, 3:23pm

I must admit that the Stanford rejection letter was the best I have ever read. It made me feel special in spite of my rejection and apparent incompetence.

talaltq · March 28, 2010, 4:56am

LOL with a Pakistani HSSC, it’s a big enough feat that universities in Canada gave me admission (except for Schulich @ YorkU, they wanted 90% hahahaha) =D I’ll be vying for the in-course scholarships Inshalah! :)

P.S. My children will do A-Levels.

Dark_Angel_1 · March 28, 2010, 8:13am

lol too early for family plannin ;)

Would u like to share it inert ??

The_Juggernaut_1 · March 28, 2010, 9:21am

You can find it somewhere on the Stanford thread, there’s no need for Inert to share it.
