4) You scored well? congrats but you need scholarship to finance tuition fees
5) You got scholarship? Hostel fees not covered under that
6) Got all the fees? the very first lecture will be totally in elite English, handicapping you. Add latin and french phrases to the mix.

7) Caught up academically in few semesters? Other are enriching their CVs with extra curriculars
8) Now comes internship break, Contacts are needed, got any? Someone referred you? Great! but it is unpaid internship. Rich kids will accept those positions, will you?
