Jamshedpur, April 19: Even though the matriculation results are yet to be declared, some of the city students already have their next move scripted.
With foreign colleges dishing out plum offers , the students have a range of options to choose from.
From Yale University to Duke in the US and Essex in United Kingdom to Bremen in Germany, students this year have been able to make their way into some of the best colleges in the world.
Shray Chandra and Oindri Mitra of Loyola School lead the race with an unbeatable score of 1550 out of 1600 in the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and are being offered 100 per cent scholarship by most of the colleges applied for.
While Shray has offers from Yale University (Connecticut), Duke, Dartmouth and Williams, Oindri has cleared Duke and Northwestern. ?I would like to join Yale and pursue majors in economics and computer science,? said Shray.
Classmate Shrestho Banerjee with a SAT score of 1480 does not have a full scholarship, but has been able to make it through Lake Forest (Chicago), Washington University, St Louis and University of Bremen in Germany.
?I am waiting for a scholarship offer from Lake Forest and have already received a confirmation for an approximate 92 per cent freeship from Bremen,? said Shrestho.
Asim Sarfaraz Ahmed of Loyola too has some of the choicest offers in his kitty.
New York Institute of Technology, Georgia Technical Institute in the US and University of Ottawa and University of Windsor in Canada have all sent in their acceptance of admission but Asim is awaiting his freeship offers.
Not joining the rat race for the US colleges, S. Manasi of Sacred Heart Convent School has her eyes set on the UK.
She has bagged conditional offers from the University of York and Essex where her admission will be confirmed on scoring 80 per cent and 75 per cent for the respective colleges. ?Scholarships are rare in the UK and I am trying to clear the interview and screening test conducted by Inlaks Foundation, which promises to fund two-thirds of the education to foreign students,? she said.
