<p>Who cares ???</p>
<p>But if it pleases you, US consul general interviews for Princeton in Calcutta, India.</p>
<p>Since 1999, the name of the city is Kolikata. You better e-mail the consul IMMEDIATELY with this news!</p>
<p>byerly...its not kolikata...its Kolkata</p>
<p>"The state assembly has decided unanimously to rename Calcutta as Kolikata ...." or so saith the BBC!</p>
<p>The english spelling is only guesswork, however.</p>
<p>See: <a href="http://www.infobengal.com/html/Districts.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.infobengal.com/html/Districts.html</a></p>
<p>ok whatever...gov. documents refer to it as Kolkata...</p>
<p>Byerly has reduced himself to nitpicking spelling.</p>
<p>Maybe the PC atmosphere in Cambridge has got to him.</p>
<p>wow this is gotta be the most useless thread on cc</p>
<p>I believe I was the nitpickEE, not the nitpickER.</p>
<p>Well, Byerly, my friend, congrats. Thanks to your set of wonderful posts, I've finalized my decision not to apply to Harvard. Mind you, there must be plenty of good people there, but alas...there also will be you.</p>
<p>A review of your posts since your junior year in high school in central New Jersey, "Cautious Pessimism", reveals no interest whatsoever in applying to Harvard. </p>
<p>You seem to have focussed your hopes almost exclusively on Princeton, which is the subject matter of 3/4 of the posts you have ever made. There was a brief indication, a while back, of interest in Stanford or CalTech, but nothing else.</p>
<p>So I doubt I've "influenced" you in the slightest, kid, one way or the other. Indeed, I have never - EVER - urged anyone to apply, or not to apply, to this school or that.</p>
<p>Good luck, and I hope, given your singular devotion, that Princeton - a fine school - admits you!</p>
<p>As a rule, I don't spew all my thoughts on CC. There's more in that head, you know.</p>
<p>But thank you nonetheless.</p>
<p>and BTW it is Kolkata.</p>
