Where have you been accepted?

With college admission decisions rolling in, it's time to tell everyone where you have been admitted to college.

My first acceptance: Purdue University.

Not OSU but Cleveland State University ,Ohio.Didn't surprise me as there were ,around 800 applicants for 32 seats.
So are you planning to go to Purdue or waiting for other ?

Any Update? Btw Seamon how do you submit your application ? how are you gonna pay the fees ? and what all were the contents of your Application ?And what was your SAT score ?

Some MS programs have centralized application system.So you dont need to submit application to school.
eg: AMCAS,OTCAS,PTCAS.
though for some schools you need to submit a supplemental application.
Others ,youll need to apply schools and sometimes grad school and colleges.
I think engineering doesnt have a centralised system,so apply to schools/colleges.
.
Very few apply via paper application afaik,so basically its online application.
Most of the online application system has the option to pay via credit card.Cheques and money order are also possible ,i couldnt find money order option to send money from India to US.
.
Generally,when you apply an application you need to send
1.Application - online/post.
2.Your Degree evaluation report from wes.com,JS&A etc(convets %/CGPA to GPA and evaluates if your degreeis sae as that of a U,S degree)
3.Transcripts(Official(sent from college),Unofficial or even pdf copy.
4.Statement Of Purpose/Essay.
5.Letter Of Recommendation(usually 1-3 from professors,employers ,friends

)
6.GRE/GMAT/SAT scores.
7.TOEFL/IELTS scores
8.Resume/CV
9.Evidence/Proof that shows you have enough money to pursue education from you/parents/sponsor etc.
10.Copy of Passport.
11.supplemental application.

some schools maynot need all of these.

Thanks for the info

What if you don't have enough money? Do you have? I mean their fees is about 35 lakh!

^^it depends ,some colleges want you to show that you have enough money for the first year

[MENTION=128807]Nanducob[/MENTION] We are talking BS here not MS :-?

1.Application - online only. Common Application/MIT/UC system.
[STRIKE]2.Your Degree evaluation report[/STRIKE]
3.Transcripts from your high school+Class 10 ICSE/CBSE marksheet.
4.Essays. There will be many for some colleges.
5.Letter Of Recommendation(usually 1-3 from school teachers)
6.SAT scores.
7.TOEFL/IELTS scores
8.[STRIKE]Resume/CV[/STRIKE]Activities reporting. Only UT Austin asks for an optional resume.
9.Evidence/Proof that shows you have enough money to pursue education from you/parents/sponsor etc after you get admission.
10.Copy of Passport after you get admission.
11.supplemental application.

Nope.Nope.Nope. You can be 90/100 material but if you arent in a good college in India then success if a little too tough. Also you may be 70/100 material and you'll end up with a good job if you are in a good college.

seamon said:

this is the onlyreason i'm trying for IIT

My only word of advice go for Commerce and enjoy your life.

[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] you got into Purdue University?
And how you gonna cover your expenses ? part-time job in us?

And whats your goal for going to US? Need citizenship or just good education.?

Myself thinking about MS in Australia

I also thinking about the fees ! How are you gonna pay them? You that rich?

K

*Guys this is not a publicity and I don't have any correlation with them*

I went to Advise for pursuing Masters in Architectural Engg.
The Counselling is free of cost and they recommended some of their tieups.

Pretty solid people and free of cost counselling.

My 3 friends went to City Uni,Texas A&M and NUS.No charge.Pretty good so just thought of providing references.

BTW Guys I am currently confused about Europe & America.

ICE,London is way tough for Masters.

Delft Technological University,Netherlands (Bro told to stay away from Netherlands;risky place)

US - UC Berkley,Texas A&M,Rice.

All of my friends are applying in the US.
Don't know which to apply for.
Any idea about DTU?

My dad has agreed to cover the fees. Also I am aiming for paid internships from the 3rd year onwards. Purdue University as cost effective as it gets in the top 10 colleges for engineering.

What is the fees?

It has a great alumini imo

And BTW what was your sat score and 12th board result?

UC Berkeley-I considered this college but it is way too expensive and scholarships are nil for Internationals.
Purdue is better than Texas A&M and Rice.

Ah well, I guess I can write in this thread finally.
I was accepted in University of Copenhagen, not bad since my main area is Medicine and Life Sciences. Although living in Scandinavian country kind of depresses me....too cold.

congrats dude..Denmark is voted as the happiest country in 2013 Denmark Is Considered The Happiest Country. You'll Never Guess Why
doesn't prove anything but happiness depends on where you want to be and what you expect from there .. friends and family do matter,if you care enough..heads up cos it would be a new experience for you if you like to explore new things.You already lived a part of your life in India,I guess.At the beginning it would be little hard to get to a new country until you learn to adapt.And when it gets boring ,start moving ! Lets have some Scandinavian fun !

I'm not sure about Scandinavian culture. It is completely on a different line than the (somewhat restrained)culture in Switzerland(where I have lived for a short period) or Germany. It is expensive too! But let's see what surprises are there for me.

Click to expand...

its mixed.some things i noticed..(just for fun)

Internet speeds are 50 Mbps with no downtime ,no powercuts
Very few people walk on sidewalks cos everybody has more than one car..you cant function properly without a car
If you order a beer they will ask if i need a second one along with it for 50% less(most thing are like that)
People are not shy to ask for cigarettes and are more honest
Things are done the basic way and that i the only way to do it.
Dinner is like 7 pm and people sleep early ,i guess
You need to click and wait for the traffic signal to cross the road
Weed is legal ,depends on state
People are polite, "you should consider doing it" "you might want to do this" but never a "you should do this"
If they want to sell you something they really look like they want to sell it
baseball,basketball,american,state flags on vehicles
YOLO
Diverse ,some places have large population of Indians
