Next meeting on Saturday at 12

We meet next on saturday at 12 am. In the meantime send me all sorts of Essays and Recos for advice.

What is Important for Application? Check your IQ

Application Processing Students:

Here are some Questions for all of you.

1. Hilariously self-justifying Recommendations? 
2. Perfectly produced Financial Aid Form?
3. Beautifully written Common-app essay that enumerate your "Grand Experiences"?
4. Hot-pursuit of your Dream-College?
5. Knowing the people who have gone to Big Branded places?

If your answers to all these questions are 'Yes' - then you have an IQ at a stellar level [compared to extra-terrestrials who do not apply to US colleges.]

IF - on the other hand you have TOUGH time because of the following reason - you may suffer from 'unattended child syndrome', which is an indication of the presence of all the numbered symptoms above.

The Reason: The whole project is being treated as an game!

Let me find out who is NOT playing a Rational game [but an Irrational one] - I will go after her (him). This is the phase that students often have heard of - now a permanent feature of Anglophiles Project.

For the sake of Record

This is to announce that Samira Manzur's ED has been accepted. 

Samira Manzur SAT scores are following - 

SAT II: 1340 Math IIC and Physics: 670 and 670

SAT I: 2030 (verbal-600, math-770 and writing-660) 

Following is the NOTE I sent to her in early September 2011 - 

I do not think that you SAT-I score is too low. So, we can skip it.
