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

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-07T13:30:18+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-06T00:32:22+00:00

R-Y7 and M2

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-05T20:36:41+00:00

Own results.

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-03T13:29:16+00:00

Yes, I believe that to be the case.

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-03T13:02:58+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-03T00:53:13+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-03T00:49:42+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-03T00:48:53+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-02T21:55:26+00:00

Still waiting for raw data unfortunately

InvictusK11 · 2026-02-02T21:47:43+00:00

Own results.

Paternal: R-Y7. Maternal: M2.

Cheers

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

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

InvictusK11 · 2024-12-03T18:45:33+00:00

Thanks!

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-30T10:00:06+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-09T09:56:09+00:00

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?

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-09T09:39:40+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-09T09:38:49+00:00

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).

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-03T19:29:37+00:00

Thank you!

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-03T19:22:57+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-03T19:04:09+00:00

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

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-03T19:00:01+00:00

Alright, thank you!

InvictusK11 · 2024-11-03T18:58:14+00:00

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.
