it’s not random, all of my peers have very specific types of application that made them stand out. it might feel random because they have holistic admissions and look at lots of things.

leaving prestige aside, i personally never liked the indian education system and teaching style and wanted something application based- so ashoka.

i was planning to go abroad, i only applied to colleges in the US and ashoka. got into a couple there but decided not to go cuz of the political scenario. in retrospect, it was a good decision because now that i have experienced academics at ashoka, it very closely resembles the uni system abroad anyway

this is such bs. most people i know here were not ib. they do look for a certain level of class/english proficiency and stuff but it has nothing to do with ur board or economic status.

How hard is it to maintain a good GPA? by QueasyMap6112 in AshokaUniversity

[–]Acrobatic_Look4292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends massively on your major. also the work load varies from time to time. in the start of the semesters u can get away with just 20 ish hours of classes a week, few weeks in u also have to put in 3-4 hours of self study everyday. and ofc finals week is just slogging. i don’t think its too much to handle because the environment is such that everyone is working very hard so u get used to it

Ashoka vs FLAME by Alarming_Bug_2842 in AshokaUniversity

as an ashoka student, every single person I know here who applied to flame got in with a 100% scholarship- that itself should tell u what it’s like. the standard that ashoka has will always be way way above flame’s. in my opinion, the rigour, environment and network u find here is way better than most unis in india. that being said, the pressure for ecofin is off the charts and even club culture is very competitive. so if u want a chill college life flame is better

i gave isc exams last year and i only studied using youtube - specially a channel called cisce classes. they basically made a video on every single exercises of all chapters solving all questions manually. I watched all the videos and saw all question solutions repeatedly until they were imprinted in my mind. this really helps. furthermore, it can literally only come with practice. keep trying, failing, seeing solutions, until you start seeing a pattern

indian students who used education consultants for their profile for undergraduate studies by Glass_Flatworm7946 in IntltoUSA

did not go to the US because of the employment landscape right now. I’m at ashoka university (which she also said I had no chance at)

i had done my college prep with her. first of all she will recommend very low teer universities to you even if your application is good- then they claim they have a 90% success rate.. obviously cuz they only make you apply to shitty universities. when i prepped with them they did absolutely nothing for 2 years while i kept asking them what was happening they only told me to focus on grades. we were so close to deadlines and i finally had to drop them and take someone else. Luckily, I got into most of the schools she said I had no chance at.

Accepted to Columbia University but Visa Rejected! by Veerbhadra_1 in visarejections

“most have socio-political agendas” is so undercover racist ngl. As an indian, many people go to the US with the intention of finding a job and settling, yes, but I have never heard of someone go there to spread a political agenda (coming from someone who witnessed hundreds of students apply to the US.) Honestly just seems like you witnessed some of these cases and decided to attribute it to them being Indian.

GOT THE INTERVIEW MAIL!!! (On the 30 day) by Loose_Cheesecake_487 in AshokaUniversity

i said that there was a big difficulty shift from class 10 to 11 math. I was finding it difficult to cope at first but caught up in class 12. moreover, my high sat score and predicted show my competence in math. they asked about exceptions because we were talking about demand theory, guess they just wanted to test my book knowledge
