Hey Prady buddy !
You know, I was just wondering ? WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU POSTED HERE YET ? Then I just saw your post, so I guess that answered my question !
All that aside, man ! GREAT JOB ! You really put up a fight like a warrior ! Kudos.
You have been a helping hand to many, and an inspiration to the most of SDNers on here ! I wish you all the best at whichever school you choose ! You'll do great !
PS: I think you forgot to apply to University of Puerto Rico (which DOES have an advanced standing program by the way ... need a deadline ?) !!
PSS: I'm broke too ... interviews and applications are a money drag if anything, but since it paid me off, I guess I came out even !
GOOD LUCK BUDDY !
