my_qualifications:
10th(ICSE): 96%
12th(HSC): 92%
MHT-CET: 95.1 percentile
I have currently taken admission in VIT Vellore in Computer Science Engineering with Specialization in Data Science, coz those folks started the admission way before. The MHT-CET results came out and I have half decent marks and looking at the first institutional round of D.J Sanghvi, I might be able to get a computer related branch there. I am really liking the exposure and opportunities that are available at VIT Vellore but what I don't like is the unnecessary and strict burden of assignments, quizzes and exams. The workload is just too much to be able to have enough time for learning our own stuff or actually take advantage of the exposure and take part in competitions and seminars.
Placements are not very important to me since I wish to go to masters abroad anyways. I need to have a 9+ cgpa in my undergrad to get into good universities abroad, doing that in vit is quite a challenge since the marking is relative and the workload is a lot so you have to constantly stay way above the average and moreover people don't help you with notes or anything too because the marking is relative. I really despise that grading system and then add to that the overcrowding and the overwhelming competition to get into clubs like GDSC. As bitter as these facts are, the opportunities are quite sweet, you get to meet people doing different stuff and gain knowledge about that, you get to learn about various fields in seminars and take part in interesting competitions.
Now, coming to my other choice, DJ Sanghvi, it's an autonomous college affiliated with Mumbai University and I am told that maintaining a 9+ cgpa is relatively very easy since the marking is absolute and the workload is not a lot as compared to vit. So I know a guy who was at vit vellore for the first few months and then for the afore mentioned reasons, left vit and joined DJ Sanghvi and is in third year now. He told me that DJ Sanghvi has equally good clubs and chapters but has an edge over vit in this aspect since the number of people is less so it's easier to get into these clubs as compared to vit, I don't know how true this is so it would be great if someone can confirm this point. I will get more free time to study and do courses about topics that actually matter and time to take part in a lot competitions and hackathons. On top of this, since I am from Mumbai, I will get to stay at home.
So from a masters abroad point of

(I already bugged my admissions counselor abt smthn else and she’s bad at answering 2 part questions so I don’t wanna do it again lol)
I am so confused…
And I genuinely can't wait until then, cuz then my 3rd year will miss out too. So I'm looking to join in March, somewhere in Europe for cheap price both living and college fees wise. Please help me out, I've been under alot of stress. Thanks in advance
thanks
I'm looking to get a more professional job and the university in my town is hiring for an admissions counselor. It's an entry level position and pays more than what I'm currently making with a much more set schedule which I like.
However I've never had a professional job and I'm wondering what it's like, what was good, what was bad, the stress and whatnot.
Thanks for any feedback!

Hi guys. I've been an interviewer for the Stamps presidential scholarship at Georgia Tech (the highest full ride scholarship you can get here) for the past 2 years now. I'm still a pretty recent college graduate and so unlike a lot of my more 'seasoned' interviewers I still have a pretty good idea of what it means to be a high school senior/incoming freshman in 2020 and with that, plenty of advice on how to make your interview stand out in this day and age of tiktok and depression memes.
Of course I won't be giving away specific questions or details about our particular interview process so that noone gets an unfair advantage by going through this, but I'm more than happy to share tips and tricks you can use in any interview (including ours) that will help to differentiate you from the dozens of high achieving high school seniors that we have the chance to meet and evaluate every year.
Ask away! I'll be taking questions all evening and beyond.

Hi, so I recently gave my interview for UC Utrecht, that is, end of November. When can I expect the final admission results for it? I've heard it differs a lot!
I am asking for my cousin from Mumbai. My_qualifications(cousin) : Highschool graduate. He scored decently in mains and in most of the private entrance exams like vit, srm etc but couldn't get CS . He got CS in kj somaiya, which is quite near his house. He is very interested in kj somaiya but the thing is, it has become a deemed uni in 2019. He wants to plan for masters in the USA but scared that US universities will give preference to Mumbai uni and not his cuz it's not known enough. Please guide us on this aspect. The decision has to be finalized by us within 3 days.
I'm a high school teacher and every year I get several recommendation requests. A handful of these are always from kids that I would describe as the great middle - they showed up most of the days, did most of their work, and got average grades. Personally I think that makes them an ideal candidate for college (excluding elite private institutions) because they're probably going to pay mostly full tuition and attend most of their classes. But of course I can't just come out and say that, so I find myself struggling to come up with something about how they're extraordinary when really they're just awesomely average - and that's not a bad thing. So I guess my question is - can you read between the lines of my recommendation? What do you really want to know about this kind of student? Do large universities even read these recommendations? I've always wondered.
