<p>I’m never posting when everyone else is, so therefore I must bring the conversation back to what was talked about like 3 pages ago. </p>
<p>Thanks to those who answered my brainstorming question. I kind of figured that’s what I needed to do, the problem is I’m still not exactly sure what I want to say about myself. I guess I will figure it out!</p>
<p>And I had a scary thought last night. I was thinking about all this hopelessness of applying to college and how I might not get in to any ivies and then I gave a brief thought to applying to Brown ED. Then I recovered and realized that was stupid because Yale = awesomeness and has much better financial aid. Phew.</p>
<p>Honestly, the concept of child birth disgusts me thoroughly, and it was undeniably conceptualized by a man. No arguments. </p>
<p>Don’t even read the chance threads. They’re a waste of time, they’re pathetic, and most of those people probably won’t get in because insecurities that run high enough to post a “chance me” thread will most surely come through in an admissions essay. And colleges don’t enjoy immature, insecure teenagers. So…don’t worry about them, really. </p>
<p>But, I must say, you lost some brownie points with me because you left off the Oxford comma.
“PMSing, birthing and girl talk for the win!”
GAH.</p>
<p>If you haven’t visited Yale, I have about a million pictures from my two visits on facebook and on my camera that I will put on facebook, so you can check them out as soon as we both join the fb group</p>
<p>YOOO YOU HAVE MORE YALE PICS! EPIC WIN. </p>
<p>We already have two albums each with about 100 pictures at our disposal, so I’m super pumped to add more. </p>
<p>Question: would it really be that tragic to not get into any Ivies? I really want to get into Yale specifically (unnecessarily blatant comment of the year), but if I’m not ultimately at an Ivy I don’t care.</p>
<p>AHHH I hardly ever make that mistake, I swear (and now I’m going to be really nervous about it…) It’s late where I am! I blame sleepiness for my mistake! I have a lot of weird grammatical/punctuational pet peeves, so I’m thoroughly embarrassed for making that mistake. </p>
<p>Yeah. Adoption is probably the way I’ll go for having kids. Squeezing a kid out does not sound like a party. </p>
<p>And yes, it seems the chance threads are created people who are only slightly above the self-professed “experts” who adamantly tell them that they’ll be immediately rejected due to SAT II scores below 780. </p>
<p>Wahh, I want to visit. I wish I lived in the country. Googling immediately.</p>
<p>Yale is actually the only Ivy I’ll end up applying to. Basically, I feel like if I get in I’ll have an incredible opportunity for the “ultimate” education. If not, I’ll be content going off to another school and assume that fate has pointed me in the right direction.</p>
<p>Plus, Yale does not even offer the major I’m applying for to most other schools. So, I guess I’ll feel like I’m meant to be doing that specific major. (Does that make sense? Again… late… should be sleeping.)</p>
<p>Where are you/where are you from?</p>
<p>I’m not bothered by the Ivy status either, I’d be happy to go to any schools on my list regardless of Ivyness.</p>
<p>RE: chance threads. GAH. Sometimes I think people are genuinely in love with a school and they are saddened by the thought that they won’t get in. But then other times it’s like “I know I don’t have a chance” but then they post about their 2360 SAT score and millions of ECs and say “chance me” and I’m like… well if you know you don’t have a chance then don’t post a frrrreakin’ chance thread, eh?!</p>
<p>And Anon - welcome!!!</p>
<p>I too will contribute to the picture taking of Yale when I go :D</p>
<p>When are you going? I forget.</p>
<p>The 14th October, for 2 weeks. AH CANNAE WEET!</p>
<p>Ugh I agree about chance me threads. Sometimes I have the urge to do them, but I don’t want to hear people say I can’t get in and I’m not good enough. I also stay away from them because some people seriously must not sleep and must have worn ivy-league t-shirts since they were born and there’s no way I can compete with that.</p>
<p>anonymityftw - welcome welcome, yay we caught another one!
yes where are you from, i think we’ve accumulated 4 countries, though only 3 are still posting a lot (hey aussie, u still here?)
have u been following this thread? if not theres no way you’ll read 1282 posts so to sum up:
we talk about clothes, gilmore girls, gossip girl, blair’s lopsided headbands, chick flicks, and many girly things not related to yale (rocker spasses but also has to be the only guy lol), stuff we will do when* (oh the fake optimism) we get in, which include wearing purple t shirts, wearing headbands, and eating icecream (hence our secret fb group name), chick flick/marykate+ashley marathons when we get in, itsbeenreal posts a lot of mammoth posts (she has really outdone herself recently 
,smile actually got me saying "yall’ not too long ago, we also discuss movies, names and pronunciations, random things in our lives, books, food, essays, philosophical stuff, england, yale pics courtesy of itsbeenreal and demitasse, try to answer riddles, and oh ya YALE. - i probably missed a lot haha</p>
<p>ew ew ew, birthing video flashback. c section? uggghhh. will probably endure that someday but i’m definately adopting too!</p>
<p>dont care about getting into an ivy really, just somewhere i feel like i belong and like. going somewhere i’m completely obsessed with would be nice as well (yaaaaaalllleeee! pls? pretty pls?? <3)</p>
<p>i went to yale a while back but my camera was dying and couldnt take too many, i’ll post them anyways, they’re probably not as nice as the ones we’ve already seen tho</p>
<p>chance me threads - used to read them just to kind of see where i stood, got my ego pretty bruised, convinced myself not to apply to yale, then fell back in love with yale (probably was never out of love in the first place), and now i dont read them</p>
<p>Yeah, but you should add them anyways because we like to look at as many Yale pics as we can :)</p>
<p>Yo, I just looked down at my hands while I was typing and they’re MAD tan. </p>
<p>You just summed up the entirety of this thread pretty damn well haha, I’m actually really impressed. </p>
<p>Do you guys even understand how many inside jokes we will (*note another instance of of false optimism) have when we finally all get to meet?</p>
<p>How can logic be fake or false? Logical fallacy, kids.</p>
<p>Today I went to pick up a book from the library: Stream of Consciousness in the Modern Novel by Robert Humphrey. Extended essay ftwww.</p>
<p>Just going back to the chance threads - I really think the majority who make those threads do KNOW they MUST be in with a chance. The only problem is that when everyone replies to one saying that the OP doesn’t have a shot, that’s partly this super elitist ‘Ivy’s only accept 2400s’ attitude, and partly just making wild judgments based on nothing. No 17 year old high school student could POSSIBLY give an accurate “chance”. It’s always amusing when someone’s like “you’ve got about a 30% chance”. BUUUULLSHIIIIIT! Everyone has the exact same chance. </p>
<p>The crux of the matter is - if you apply, you might get in. The odds are against you, sure. But the odds are against everyone. But SOMEONE has to get in, and it might just be you.</p>
<p>I think it is absolutely RIDICULOUS when they assign exact numbers to people’s chances. “Well, right now, you have around a 31.78% chance of getting in, but, if your parents quit their jobs and you move to Wyoming and become Hispanic, your chances will raise to 63.91%.”</p>
<p>SOOOOOO i have been gone for a while. and i have yet to catch up with this thread. but i promise i will tonight or tomorrow night. although i know 2934723 million posts will be added by then. IT JUST NEVER ENDS.</p>
<p>=]</p>
<p>BUT I LOVED THE PART WHEN YALL WERE ALL LOVING. and defended this thread. GOD THAT WAS SO SWEET.</p>
<p>i can’t believe i missed it.</p>
<p>yall are amazing.</p>
<p>just thought i’d post something. because i’ve missed my mile long posts and all.</p>
<p>haha rocker you totally have that right. chance threads just suck. if I want to know where I stand, I look at the results from last year, because that’s more reliable than anything</p>
