Getting an admit – is it easy ?

April 5, 2007

I’ve started to hate the word “regret” – Me

I was actually gonna wait for iv to finish his post about the universities, but I’m kinda loosing my nerve. Anyways, got my first two rejects after a long wait from Vtech and Irvine. The worse part is I had applied to these universities for my masters thinking that it would be easier getting into the masters programme rather than the PhD one. The reason for the anger is however the fact that no university mentions where you actually failed to make it.

I’ve got only four univs(ufl,umn,gt,usc). left now, three of which are ranked better than the ones where I got the rejects from. Fauji also keeps telling me that usc doesn’t give any aid to masters students. An important lesson here to people who are gonna apply to USC. Always apply to the Phd programme there. If anyone (this means you – yarji) can do anything to improve my chances of getting into a place with aid, please go ahead.

Digressing, life at IIIT is almost coming to an end. iv & co, are giving the farewell speech. Went to my last class yesterday only to find peesu absent. What happened to the first bench plan ?

ps1: Admissions thingy pissing me off.

ps2: If the FBI wants a piece of me, I dare them to first get through baba,aziz,monga and iv (cus its fun watching you get hit).

ps3: Other Univs seem to have an unfair advantage over IIIT in terms of reputation abroad. I think its time the Profs do something about this (get me in a good place); otherwise there are hardly gonna be any iiit’ians in the academic field.

ps4: Do I regret studying at IIIT ? No.

ps5: ciao ppl…

ps6: This is the end. (unless I hear the word I hate again)
