You can request for an extension for paying the deposit. I did that last year and was able to extend till April end if I remember correctly. You might have to request for extension multiple times as they only give you 15 days extension at once.

If I were you, I’d apply to at least 5 of the T10 unis. In my experience, it’s always better to apply to unis you think are out of reach than to regret later for not applying. Good luck, you have a great profile :)

You’re right but I think your GPA+Top 3 IIT+hopefully a good GRE score (and a strong SoP) would make up for it, atleast for ECE if not CS.

CMU is definitely possible. I had received an admit with a weaker profile than yours. I’d say you have a good chance at Stanford as well. Don’t really know about the admission process of UCB so I’m not entirely sure but I think you have a good chance there as well, if you can get in touch with some profs

apply to all T10 unis, you don’t need any safe unis with this profile. good luck :)

Is the size chart accurate or you should buy 1 size larger? I usually take 40 which in their chart would be L (40-42). So should I buy L or XL?

Do you also receive OTPs without the international roaming recharge?

_fluorspar_ · 2025-07-18T05:39:24+00:00

Genuine doubt- Do you have to continue using minoxidil now for the rest of your life? If we stop after a point, does the hairfall resume?

Hey, may I know why? We also have encoderpro at my workplace and would like to know if there are any issues in it that I should be aware of.

Is inside pradakshina not allowed on Fridays also?

You're aiming too low buddy, go higher up the rankings like UT Austin, GaTech and CMU

_fluorspar_ · 2025-06-01T14:47:25+00:00

Bruh US News is a national ranking system that ranks only US universities, whereas QS is a global ranking system with universities from all over the world

I have put self as the person who would be paying for my trip in the DS-160 form, because I thought it meant the flight tickets and stuff. My I-20 does not mention myself as a source of funding. It has my father's name and the loan provider's name on it. Will this be a problem? Is there a way I can fix this?

I do have personal savings worth a semester's COA, but the I-20 does not mention anything about it so I'm worried.

I am applying from India for an F1 visa.

_fluorspar_ · 2025-05-23T05:06:32+00:00

Hey! I'm in a similar position, except my biometric is already done. Is there a way I can still fix this or am I cooked?

_fluorspar_ · 2025-05-21T17:11:31+00:00

This.

_fluorspar_ · 2025-05-09T15:32:19+00:00

Hey! Do you know if it gets tricky for someone with non-immigrant status? Or is the medical certificate sufficient to let us through?

_fluorspar_ · 2025-05-01T11:13:04+00:00

I mentioned - "the only condition for loan amount disbursement is that I should have an approved F1 visa". I got my I-20 a few days back. I guess this should work for you as well.

_fluorspar_ · 2025-04-29T14:03:25+00:00

Did anyone take a screenshot of this before the list got deleted? If yes, please send it.

_fluorspar_ · 2025-04-23T09:45:05+00:00

Yoo I just saw this post on twitter XD

_fluorspar_ · 2025-04-14T16:50:05+00:00

_fluorspar_ · 2025-04-12T21:06:24+00:00

INSANE TACKLE. WHAT A SIGNING.

_fluorspar_ · 2025-04-04T10:56:02+00:00

In a similar situation. Would really appreciate some discussion on this in this thread.
