<p>I’m not finished with it yet.</p>
<p>btw did any of you actually fill out that college profile thingy on collegeboard?</p>
<p>@InVeritas you must be ****ting a brick. Your decision comes out in a few hours. Hope you get in, but remember, you still have chance in regular. I saw NMO online, and they are very tough, so if you can make it there, Harvard should take you.</p>
<p>@ChuckBBass I’m trying to work on my other essays. Just submitted my Vanderbilt Scholarship Application. The stats are in for Harvard 772 accepted. How I wish to be one of those lucky people.</p>
<p>ChuckBBass, have you seen the movie, Lord of War, starring Nicholas Cage?</p>
<p>Just a little trivia, the phrase is shi**ing bricks not a brick.</p>

<p>@Usamatimwana, your list is largely incomplete. My school had 6, in HKU, 5 in HKUST, 1 in UVA, 3 in NYU, 1 in NYUAD(150% scolarship), 1 in NUS(100% scolarship), 5, in Mcgill, 8 in Waterloo, 6 in UBC, dozens in UK apart from cambridge and oxford. I’m from LGS JT. Sadly, no one got in Ivies or Oxfam. This batch of ours has a lot of potential. a class mate of mine already got in at Bowdoin at 54,000 $ scolarship award pa annum, no conditions attached. Another guy got in at Oklohama at a ‘76’% scolarship.</p>
<p>^ Oh well, I gathered or more like copy pasted that list from the class of 2015 thread. So I’m sure the numbers might not have been the exact.</p>
<p>Oh, my bad.</p>
<p>Deferred. Oh well from what I get almost all internationals from countries such as China, Canada and Pakistan were deferred.</p>
<p>@InVeritas, No worries. You still have a shot in RD. :)</p>
<p>True but now I have to apply to all my other universities. About 11 more.</p>
<p>@perazziman no, I meant *<strong><em>ting a brick. The thing is a single brick is enough of an exaggeration to be *</em></strong>ting, I didn’t want it to be hard on InVeritas.
And @InVeritas, though it is sad to know that you got deferred, remember it is better than getting rejected.</p>
<p>I know a qustion like this on a forum like this is WRONG but I cant resist the temptation.
The thing I wanted to ask was that have you guys ever heard of someone sending fake certificates and achivements to US colleges and getting in?? Or is any one of YOU planning on doing this?? and lastly and most importantly… Is there any chance of getting caught??? Have you heard someone getting caught??</p>
<p>Again im sorry I had to ask this :(</p>
<p>Even if one could fake transcripts, how would you get College board to send fake SAT I & SAT II scores? Also, pandorabox, this is the reason top schools, usually, only accept international students from a few good schools, which they trust. This is why, sometimes, foreign students from lesser high schools will come and attend community colleges for a couple of semesters to prove their ability, before transferring to top schools. I know, in the old days, some Pakistanis went to American Universities in Turkey (METU) & Lebanon etc to demonstrate ability and then transferred to MIT and other top schools in the USA.</p>
<p>So ain’t that bad news for people like me from small-time schools?
LOL</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Which small time school? Also, being Asian does not help, especially with a billion Indians and another billion Chinese applying as Asians too.</p>
<p>well I have pretty much the same question, as you said they pick a few from the good schools, which they trust, i
snt that kind of a negative mark for applicants like us who are like the very first students from their respective schools to apply in US?</p>
<p>usamatiwana, Which is why it is important to get high scores on standardized tests and write good essays. In the end, you gotta be ready to go to one of your safeties for a couple of semesters. Then, if you do well, transfer. You just gotta remember the odds were never in your favor to begin with.</p>
<p>well that is bad news, I didnt expect that my school might play such a part in my application process 
But anyways I have to try on improving what I can.</p>
