Papa Saif proud of Sara - Page 5

Could be a combination of both. Maybe the fact that she's smart, PLUS some donation, plus the fact that she has a rich heritage (daughter of nawaab of pataudi and famous movie star, grand daughter of famous Indian cricket captain Tiger, I'm sure these IVY leagues are into that stuff)

Nope...I am sure that her rich heritage has got nothing to do with the admissions...these are American schools...they cannot openly show bias towards a heritage/culture/nationality/ethnicity of students...

Somebody needs to hit the gym hard!

There are a lot of 17 year olds who start undergrad. It's not that uncommon.

No no I know that...the person I was referring to had just turned 17 days before starting freshman year of uni. In the US, you are usually 18 or will turn 18 in your first year of undergrad, this person had just turned 17...you generally gotta have finished senior year of high school or an equivalent level of education. So the person I knew would be like Sara..she skipped some grade early on I think. She was a freaking genius. Only person I knew who got in everywhere from Harvard to Columbia to Yale to Duke to MIT to CalTech, etc...you name it and she got in. 😡😆😆

Khair ...if Sara is 17 and Saif accidentally called her 16, then it's all cool. 17 is normal...even 16 I suppose by Indian curriculum happens...but you have to have a lot of other great qualities also.

May be Sara is really smart and I am thinking a generous donation wouldn't have hurt Columbia...plus maybe she has done lot of volunteer work and extra curricular activities...all these carry a lot of weight in admissions...

But they do.
