Yes its is enforced especially in high demand colleges like Ivies. They dont want all asians or no African americans.

But why worry about that. You cant control it anyway. There are lots of good opportunities for everyone

Nothing specific but you can see previous years' admission info on the specific college's site. Most publish demographic information. As Telugu_times said it depends on subgroup too. Harvard meedha current ga oka suit nadustondhi discrimination against Asians ani.

are the Asia+Chin folks findign it diff - cos the competition amongst this group is high or there are limited seats for this group on the table or both reasons ?




Yes depending on college. Only CA publics cannot discriminate by race so there you will find more asians. But many colleges dont have good asian representation, so it will be advantageous to go there (however u may feel out of place and not many indian friends)

workex, nationality,race, gender, etc considerations..

Telugu_times:

were they free summer camps?
Most top colleges make business with these summer camps. Adhoka peddha money minting scheme. 10 weeks ki, 15K varaku untundhi, fee
Never send to these summer camps, if it costs money. No use.




Yep. CMU has some summer camps where they give scholarship (but competitive).
Many Ivies send these summer camp invitations - they are not super selective and quite expensive.
No admission without applying. Even people who really want you will send a letter to apply and give some detail about scholarship available. For example all National Merit Finalists will get multiple mailings from Oklahoma University showing that you don't need to pay anything, but you have to apply

Rgb:



Unanticipated BS/MD must be thrilling, if you can share what helped

Btw last 2 years lo only Indian girls ni choosanu who got BS/MD, boys with comparable or better stats ki raledu, same trend noticed in UCs as well





Not true from current class. From 15 direct admit students, its 10 desis - 5girls/5boys. I don't know if they did it on purpose.

Not much to be said other than whatever is already in
- Take as many AP classes as possible (10)
- Participate in various clubs and office bearer in two. Also multiple county level and state level awards in those club competitions
- Volunteer at a hospital for a year (more would be better)
- GPA(4 unweighted 4.8+ weighted), SAT Score(1590)
- Shadow a doctor in Junior year Summer
- Write engaging essay but in own words and perspective
- In interview be specific about why you want to be doctor

Didnt apply to Ivies due to my economic situation. Cant pay 70k*4(ivy UG)+60k*4(medical). Since public school UG comes to 3*20k (after taking out scholarship from fees)

Baatasari:

thanks for the info.. i was hearing scholarship, but never #s so dont know how to quantify - and we hear concerns abt fees,$..

so that info about scholarships handles the $ factor in the equation.. so rest is all about hardwork, stress, enthu, taste for a course..




really depends on the college. My kid got 10k from rutgers, 40k from a univ in Boston, 60k from Tulane and full ride from two schools. Numbers don't mean much since u have to look at the remaining bill :-) as fees vary quite a lot. She didnt join anyone of them because of a unanticipated BSMD admission

Two of them also had a competition

It’s ok it all normalizes :-) and he may switch gears but he will excel at whatever he chooses

my son was big into investment analysis though I think it was because he loved math and thought this was a lucratiive career option involving math - he got into Carnegie Mellon then found out it would be 3 semesters before he would know if he got into their computational finance so decided to go double honors major in comp sci and math at UT Austin .. did a couple research projects in freshman year that got him hooked to game dev saying it’s the most math he gets to use in programming .
After working for 6 months , decided on a whim to apply for masters in game dev on dec 15 wrote his gre on dec 28 with a week’s prep scored a 333/340 , got accepted to his school of choice and then decided work experience was more valuable than MS why did you not think before ante - I wanted to decide after I had the option in hand anta ...:-)

This may sound funny to many, but its advantageous to have kids close together like one year apart

When they are in college together, many schools will give need based financial aid even for most of our demographics. Single child in college almost no need based aid for our range

Remember top schools like Ivies dont have merit scholarship but have need based aid upto the full fees

thanks man.. this reduces the $ burden factor in the equation :D




The ones I quoted are automatic/full ones

There are many other scholarships which universities give with admission. For example NortEastern gives 5k, 10k,20k and 30k scholarships. Most of them are indeed dependent on SAT/GPA or it is atleast a component. The trick is to apply to a wide array of schools including safeties

As I said my younger one got the acad excellence scholarship to UTD - amounts to 15K in fees per year and a $1000 stipend per semester ...

Dorm is our only expense to account for

Some Univ will offer the dorm costs as well ...a lot of them factor need eliminating 2 income families like us though...

Exactly.. I have never seen people raving about uchicago.. similarly some of the top schools there
UPenn you do biz, Econ etc is awesome
GEorgia Tech is supposed to be top w.r.t to computer science which is 60% of our lives
I don’t know what Uchigao is worth for undergrad- yes they have a good biz school.. my son didn’t even want to apply to UC even after they reacted out

most of the public schools i get a sense are cheap/Ok costly.

when you say.. kid got "waiver/scholarship" etc.. is it FULL waiver or how does it work..




Many types. Partial fees/Fullscholarship(fees)/Full ride (dorm kooda paid and some money for books/computer etc) are available.


These are old(so u have to make sure they still exist) but college confidential is the best source to ask

Howazat initial post about the costs of attending a top school vs a regular school apply chesthe .. Medicine is twice more stress full and uncertain..

its not easy to convince kids who are born and brought up here to go to India to do medicine.. they will happily go there for a vacation but not to live or study..

so parents (with kids not in middle/high school) planning to take the medicine route just be aware of what you will be up against..its super competitive to get into a combined med program (more than getting into top 10 in other discipline) and even then kids drop out as they couldn't handle stress of the combined med..

if you don't get into combined med.. then you will need to go through the same application and selection 4 years down the lane..

Medicine is a long path. Takes about 12 more years after 12th grade. It is a safe path, but very long path. 4+4+4
mallee 1 year break vasthey, inko year
and konni residencies (surgery) can go upto 6 years too, in that case total of 14 years after high school

One thing you need to be careful is GPA if you are doing PreMed. Comp Sci and Bio Med are GPA killers. GPA and MCAT scores are paramount for Med school admission

Colleges actually encourage this. Most colleges you dont need to declare major until end of sophomore year. Gives them time to check classes of one or two disciplines.

Downside is if you dilly dally you may not be able to complete in 4 years
