<p>You make no sense. I am a liberal atheist and so part of a very tiny minority in crazy religious Pakistan. How does what I, or anyone else of my kind, generalize make a difference to anything. We hate the blasphemy law but nobody cares. You guys are from the “religion of peace” (that had to KILL and CONQUER to spread away from Arabia; doesn’t sound so “peaceful” to me) so why don’t you guys behave peacefully for a change. What’s that? Right, you can’t because at every turn you think someone is conspiring to destroy you. Some lunacy, I say.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So, what’s your solution. To dissuade poor, uneducated people from practising religion? The rich and educated are also victims of its sheer nonsense so I don’t see the problem ending that way.</p>

182

<p>uuuhh… Hey guys, i am not meaning to interrupt but isn’t this a college related forum? :p</p>

<p>and yes it is sad the way things are going in our country :(</p>

183

<p>Uchicago - wth is uchicago.</p>

<p>not kewl guyz not kewl im tellin ya</p>

184

<p>This debate can go on and on, can we please get to the issue at hand?</p>

<p>New problem: Cornell had a 3rd Jan deadline for financial documents (CSS profiles etc.), ***? who keeps a financial document deadline that close to the application deadline. Everybody else is at least 15 Feb.
Anyhow, I guess I’ll be sending out the stuff right now!</p>

185

<p>WTH! 3rd Jan?? That’s tooo frikin close to the application deadline! I applied to Uni of Southern California and still haven’t emailed them my financial docs :smiley:
Anyway where else did you apply apart from Cornell?? and what are/were your stats??</p>

186

<p>Are you a US citizen? Damn man. I’d do anything to go college in Cali. They cost wayy too much for us.</p>

187

<p>Omair, UC’s generally don’t award aid to internationals. You know that, right?
Anyways, how did your MIT interview go?</p>

188

<p>You are hayyan from JT, right :smiley:
and USC (Uni of Southern Cal) is not a UC yar… its an independent Uni.
My interview was fine yar… Interviewer was great and he asked me a few questions about my future plans and stuff like that. How did yours go??</p>

189

<p>Intemister, I am not a US citizen…</p>

190

<p>Daisi banda hun :D</p>

191

<p>Tou phir you must be a filthy rich desi guy!</p>

192

<p>Guys I hear, we Pakistanis are abundant here on CC. Don’t you think we should have our own sub section in the Internationals tab like China india Nepal and Canada do? That would really be awesome. More people will join CC and that mutually beneficial. What say?</p>

193

<p>I was thinking the same thing a couple of days ago, no harm in requesting CC to make one.</p>

194

<p>Omair, I have mine scheduled for today…</p>

195

<p>Cambridge offers anyone ?</p>

196

<p>^My friend and I were both shortlisted for the 800th anniversary scholarship interview. He got rejected yesterday, but I still haven’t gotten my decision. Maybe it’s because our Cambridge colleges are different.</p>

197

<p>What sort of scholarships are they? Do they still have those 800 year scholarships?</p>

<p>Also, I’ve been meaning to ask. Can one transfer to Oxford (ultimate,ultimate dream school) or Cambridge from an American uni?</p>

198

<p>They’re full tuition, room and board and air ticket etc. scholarships for the entire duration of the degree. And yes, the 800 year scholarships are still there.
Well, a guy I met in the US said he was at Stanford but was going to do his junior year at Oxford through a study-abroad program. I’m not sure if you can transfer, though.</p>

199

<p>Williams College has a direct exchange program with Oxford.</p>

200

<p>Damn! I wish I’d known that earlier! I had williams in my list but then took it off. Any other opportunities?</p>

<p>Congrats we’re on the 200th post pakis!</p>
