The official Pakistani Thread for the class of 2016

<p>Man, seriously, you guys are boring and lifeless as hell. We, the class of 2015, were so active all the time. Anyway, I really hope you all well, and honestly I’m sort of intimidated. I feel like your class is much smarter than the class of 2015, i.e my class, but meh. I hope to Allah you all end up where you want. Aameen. Did anyone apply to UCLA by any chance? I’m a first year [class of 2015 obviously] ,from Islamabad, there right now.</p>

<p>are you an American citizen?</p>

<p>^looks like it. Either that or a really rich Pakistani :P</p>

<p>So anyone apply to Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, or Southern California here?</p>

<p>@blue & titan, yep He’s a US citizen and he didn’t apply for FA either :D</p>

<p>@gtfotu: I went through last year’s thread, and yeah it WAS pretty lively…but I guess we’ll catch up when decisions come around (yep, we’re a competitive lot LOL XD)
Btw speaking of acceptances, I have a friend here who got accepted to Warwick and Nottingham, rejected from UCL and Cambridge though :confused:
And last year there were very few Ivy acceptances! Very discouraging, and that truly gave me an idea of how slim my chances are!</p>

<p>But then again, how many Pakis do you think are accepted to the ivies each year. Anyone got any statistics or college demographic info?</p>

<p>Harvard and Yale around 4-5 … Princeton 1-2 … Brown 1-3 … Dartmouth 5-6 … Penn and Cornell 8-9 … Columbia 1-3 … just a rough estimate</p>

<p>Wow! That low! Any idea how many apply?</p>

<p>TiTaN666’s list is fairly accurate, but, in my experience, the following is more true:</p>

<p>Harvard: 3-6
Yale: 5-8
Princeton:1-3
Columbia: 2-5
Penn: 4-9
Dartmouth: 3-4
Brown: 1-3
Cornell: 10-12
MIT: 3-4 [often, but not always, only accepts US citizens who don’t get in anywhere else]
Stanford: 7-9
Duke: 5-7
UChicago: 4-6</p>

<p>Two students from Islamabad received likely letters from Harvard College. Yes, you read it right. This is history in teh making.</p>

<p>We do not intend to disclose any information regarding the recipients–further probing is fruitless.</p>

<p></p>

<p>Really? That’s awesome.</p>

<p>Who got it? What were their credentials?</p>

<p>^^Obvious ■■■■■ is obvious.</p>

<p>@Iamanapp
maybe I am wrong,but according to my count, last year 7 people got into Harvard.Though,last year’s thread showed only 5.</p>

<p>Did anyone apply to Davidson College?</p>

<p>@Glaedr they are calling the likely letter an acceptance letter? That’s something.</p>

<p>woho … likely letter O.o ?</p>

<p>Which university has a better reputation for engineering…McGill or University of Manchester?</p>

<p>Yes, I am an American citizen lekin Pakistan ka pala hua hoon. I don’t understand why you said “looks like it” in reference to me being an American citizen though. I don’t get how I can “look” like an American citizen by a post I made. I’m as much Pakistani as any other kid born and bred there - only American by paper. Anyway, being a citizen doesn’t really make a difference - that is the sad truth. I learnt of this when I started applying. It only makes a difference if you are a resident. Since, I was not a resident, they treated me like not like an international applicant [because technically I wasn’t international] but as an “out-of-state” applicant. Basically, it’s the same thing as an international applicant except not really because by paper and technically I’m not international, but in my case, since I did O-Levels/A-Levels, “out-of-state” held more connotation of “international” than usual. So, essentially, yes, I am international. Unless, you’re not a resident, it really doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>Wrong, Harvard likely letters are only for athletes.</p>
