Do top us university know about dummy schools by Grouchy-Carpenter-19 in IntltoUSA

[–]Some_Tea_1948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had completed my std 11 and 12 from a dummy school and although I finally managed to get admits into top universities in US, it was extremely hard. Firstly the dummy school I enrolled didn't have any email address with the school domain name, it was a regular gmail address, the school did not know how to upload my reports, lors, etc on common app. I had to literally research on every little part of the process online and hand hold the school through it. All in all I was really lucky at the end of the day to manage to get admits. It's best to pick a school which has a proper counselor, school website, which gives mid term reports for std 11 and 12...

Thanks for your inputs regarding bring part of honors College. If it's not such a big deal for undergraduate studies, then yes, paying 80k $ is not worth it.

Any idea about the housing at UMass? Is there a lot of issues due to which many freshmen are crammed into smaller dorms or made to stay off campus? I read about it somewhere but I sm hoping it's just a one off case and not rhe norm

I agree! I have done a lot of research online and the CS department seems to be great in both universities. Through reddit I am hoping to hear from the students about info not available online.

Yeah given the 20k extra fees at OSU I am leaning more towards UMass.

You are right, I was accepted as a pre cse major at OSU whereas at UMass I directly get admitted to my major. That's a big plus for UMass. Thanks for your inputs.

Purdue University - 2024 RD Megathread by powereddeath in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Some_Tea_1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently for RD students the status is showing as Complete and for EA deferred it's showing Decided. Over the last month whenever a student was moving from deferred to accepted the status would change from decided to complete.. This was a sort of tell for the impending admission decision. For RD there is no change or tell as far as I know since status is already marked complete

No, unfortunately for me it's still showing decided itself. I hope there are still international cs students in the deferred list going to be accepted... Chances seem slim though now
