I'm doing my Theory of Knowledge presentation on the controversial aspects of U.S. college admissions as well as doing a comparitive study with Indian and UK college admissions process. Any thoughts you guys have about U.S. College admissions?
Fair/Unfair? Strengths/weaknesses? Any changes you'd make? Where would you put the majority of the weightage into? Are standardized tests really "standardized"?
Any input you guys give me would be mad useful! |

You are currently reading the LJ entry of a girl who will, in less than 24 hours time, be pulverized into a pulp.
I've got...SO MANY COLLEGE APPLICATIONS DUE IN A WEEK ITS NOT FUNNY! And SAT exams! And I've got to write ESSAYS and worst yet....
the IB Work DUE TOMORROW WHICH I HAVE HAD NO TIME TO DO.
I've never encountered a more ridiculous idea than the IB. In disguise, it sounds dandy, intellectual, and kinda sorta fun. In reality, its not. NOT FUN. NO FUN FOR YOU!
I have a 1500 word philosophyish paper due and a 4000 word essay on a GIGANTIC book i haven't even read yet! AND COLLEGE APPLICATIONS TOO, WTF?! I have an English paper thats due, a math portfolio, a number of laboratory assignments, a psychology internal... AND IM GOING INSANE! (already)
I suspect the next few days of my life to be pretty brutal.
On top of that, I've decided to apply to the UK, and it's absolutely RIDICULOUS because I haven't as yet wrote my UK Personal Statement and on top of THAT I have dance company auditions on February 11, and on top of THAT my room is a huge MESS there are papers EVERYWHERE... applications floating around at random!! college brochures! geeze Harvard actually sent me a package. Are they trying to taunt me?!
where do I start...........................
I thought senior year was supposed to be easy?! where the fuck did the word "senioritis" come from? Sounds like a misnomer for the disease a senior gets when he/she is flooded in work and life-changing decisions and stops eating and grows tendrils into their computer chair and stares at the computer screen for 18 hours a day. |

I'm going to find out about UPenn on Friday morning.
PLEASE LET ME IN GODDAMIT THATS THE ONLY PLACE I REALLY WANT TO GO *starts banging on the table*
I have a HL Bio mock exam tomorrow, gotta get back to it
PLEASE LET ME IN PLEASE I NEED TO GO THERE.
*breathes heavily*
But if I don't get in, I need to make a decision regarding where else I plan to apply to. I have about 7 or so in the line up but sometimes I feel like I'm not getting in anywhere. :(
I started a new piano piece! Chopin's "Nocturne Op. Posth. C sharp minor". It was featured in The Pianist too. It's lovelyyy. I have an interview with Swarthmore College on Saturday. I'm soooooo surprised that Swarthmore has alumni in Bangalore.
Today some auto driver discriminated against my mom because she speaks Hindi, and South Indians (apparently, from what I've seen and what people tell me) don't like North Indian languages. Booo. Discrimination over the national language. India is so divded. |

ever since i've moved here, i've been running into one wall after another. i feel like dropping out of school--im fucking sick of my school and the way it runs. im sick of my life, and im sick of bangalore. it takes me over an hour one-way to get to school, and when i get to school its not even worth being there. my english teacher has been constantly verbally abusing me, telling me I take IB as a joke even though i probably am, amongst the rest of my classmates, the most dedicated and focused in my work.
it takes me eons to get everywhere i go.
i fucking gave up my gymnastics when i moved here! how do i explain that leaving the sport was leaving a part of myself behind too? i was hospitalized 7 times! i have been in a chaos of emotions since i've come here. everything from relationships, to my health, to academics, even fighting politics... im sick of it. i want to drop out of it now and i want to just go off to Ooty for some time and sit in solitude and think my life over. i wish i could start over, and perhaps fight to my wits end about moving here. yes, the experience has taught me things from love to death but i have really sacrificed my education in the process.
no im serious, im an inch away from dropping out of IB, and everything else in my life |

| The interview is tomorrow. |

So my UPenn interview is tomorrow with a Wharton 2003 graduate, and it's going to be held at the Windsor Manor Sheraton at 10 am. In the coffee shop. I'm kind of nervous, but then I had 2 mock interviews with 1 Wharton graduate and 1 Wharton undergraduate (my dad's friends are so nice :D ) so I'm pretty confident with tomorrow. And plus its a good chance for me to discuss my shift here, the 7 hospital visits, how I rescued a horse, my dance performances, my gymnastics career, piano, painting, and my time as a volunteer in emergency services of St. John's Hospital in one go (no essay required, heehee).
I'm going to dress in a colored (nice, business, smart colored) long-sleeve shirt and either a mid-length black skirt or just dark blue jeans (she said specifically to be casual). I thought I'd bring my laptop along with samples of my academic work and videos of me doing back layouts on the trampoline but eh, I want to be more conversation-friendly and I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard (even though I am x_x). Still, my friend who has applied to Columbia ED did that and said the interview went quite well. My other friend who did ED to Brown is still waiting for an interview.
Today was HORRIBLE at school. All the IB students have a 4000 word research paper due next Friday and we're all still deciding on topics because of the lack of organization in my school (institution). 25% of the IB students walked out of the principal's office after a thorough shouting from the princi and broke down into tears. The Extended Essay is one of the components which is the difference between getting a Diploma and not, and so we're all being pseudo-careful with it. SO NOW...
Nov. 25: UPenn interview
Nov. 28: SAT scores out. Rush to UPenn.
Nov. 30: Meeting with London School of Economics Director. Extended Essay due
Dec. 1: Leave to Madras
Dec. 2: SAT exams
Dec. 3: come back to bangalore
Dec. 5: School exams start, starting with IB Chemistry HL (the worst HL of all HLs) =(
Everyone is regretting taking IB now.
Dec. 15... Judgement Day... it determines whether all my long-going sufferings the last 2 years was worth any of this. |

On today's front page of Yahoo! News:
BANGALORE, India (AFP) - India's high-tech capital Bangalore, known worldwide as an outsourcing hub, has changed its name to reflect the local language and became "the town of boiled beans".
Bangalore, according to state historians, got its name from Bendakalooru (the town of boiled beans) after a king strayed into the area during a hunting trip in the late 14th century. A woman offered him a meal of boiled beans which the king enjoyed so much that he named the town after the dish. Bengaluru is a transliteration of the original spelling, according to state historians.
Yay, I live in the city of boiled beans. Wow, that makes me feel soft and fuzzy inside.
SAT 2 Subject Test exams tomorrow! MEH.. ick. You know, we are actually a really high tech city. In fact there's this town called Electronic City here in Bangalore and everybody's cellphones are like insane. I got permission to skip school and study for tomorrow's impossible exams. I feel so romantic right now and I can't even tell towards who I feel this way! Like, random romanticness. I think its the whole chapter on Bonding I'm currently studying. I hope to go out tomorrow night.. it's been awhile since Sarah has unleased havoc upon a club in Bangalore :P |

I just submitted my UPenn application.
Lets see if missing Fuga's Halloween Party yesterday for essay editing was worth it.
But anyways, I'm pretty chill now because I'm going to concentrate hard on Duke, Swarthmore, and the London School of Economics as well :) |

Wow, one of my admissions essays is so moving, I cried during most of the process of writing it. o_O;; I wonder what the admissions committee is going to think when they read it. *imagines admissions committee passing around a box of tissues*
Now I'm off to school to demand my School Report. I swear dude, my school is so lazy.
2 more days......................
p.s. I'd just like to say that Lily Jon and Maria McCook are two of the bestest friends I've ever had. ♥ ♥ ♥
EARLY DECISION MADNESS! but we went over this already. |
