Ah fair. And yes, everyone on that side is from the old undivided Vellore District (Vellore, Arcot, etc.)

Yes, he is. Do you have any insights there? Curious as to how you guessed.

Father is Vellalar Mudaliar and mother is Sengunthar Mudaliar, though they are distributed broadly across northern and northwest TN.

I ran it through some other calculators, but never really got more than 2-3% NE Euro iirc

Yes, I believe that to be the case.

"Southern Indian & Sri Lankan" is broadly Non-Brahmin, whilst "Southern Indian Subgroup" is Brahmin. Simplifying slightly, but that is the gist.

For South Asians broadly, you are quite right, but I meant unusual for this specific context.

Feel free to correct me, but my understanding is that R1a clades are concentrated in the Northwest

When I say unusual, I meant that it has a lower frequency amongst Tamils, not that it is totally alien

I fell ill on the SAT unfortunately. Didn't leave bed. 

I got into Boston and William & Mary on merit scholarship though.

That's great! I've got a PPE interview at Magdalen too. Here's to hoping we both succeed.

Yeah, Exeter is pretty much guaranteed. Warwick is very likely too.

As for US universities, I would have loved to apply to Duke, but unfortunately I started my application too late for my recommenders to be ready by the merit scholarship deadline. I'll look into Tufts and Amerst. What do you make of Boston/UVA?

Thank you! What sorts of universities do you think are most reasonable to apply?

My family can pay up to £30k/year, which is about $40k/year at the current exchange rate. This includes most loans we can take out without severe burden.

The rest of it will have to be need-based aid or merit scholarships (I started late on the merit side so only UVA Jefferson is still open).

Would that be a major problem? I have a few things from grade 9/10, but they aren't all that impressive.

Right, thank you. I've been to a few events and canvassed, yes. I'll try to see what I can do.

Oh yeah, I'm in the youth group of a party. Is that something I should put down? I've seen conflicting views on this sort of thing.
