<p>Yea...im just trying to look ahead in the future, and hopefully transfer to UCB asap.....Does it matter if your oos for ucb if you are a transfer student?...IF it does, then i have nothing more to say, then thats just sad...Well man you got into Lehigh, i got rejected....My parents would too be happy if i got into a recognized school, buts that not happening.
In reality just like gxing said "I wish you the best of luck with NYU, even though I do not see it happening", thats whats going to happen.
I mean i dont even count penn state, i got rejected from UP....all i want now is one university that says congratulations......im in a tunnel, and i see no light ahead of me....I just need to see one ray of light in my future</p>
<p>^^ fitzgerk.....my dad went to Notredame......</p>
<p>well thats not an ivy and I am very ashamed for him. Go tell him your college admissions is going bad because you have always felt like a loser for having a non ivy league graduate father. itll work I promise!</p>
<p>^^ lol your a funny guy............</p>
<p>seriously at dinner jsut say the following</p>
<p>"you went to a college that let that little piece of crap Rudy play football"</p>
<p>then slap him in the face, kick your dog and go to bed. They will leave you alone, its been proven to work over and over again and by proven I mean I have no clue what i am talking about.</p>
<p>my parents will probably call the cops on me for hitting them?....do you have anger problems by any chance?.....i mean usually kids dont hit their parents</p>
<p>I woundn't reccommend that. Try to establish a good relationship with your parents and secure your education fund. Once you become successful later you can say whatever you want to say.</p>
<p>I don't want to face my parents right now; hopefuly, they'll let me go to NYU and be proud of me for once.</p>
<p>NYU kicks ass... I would be happy to get in and anybody who says otherwise should b quiet....</p>
<p>lol, Bestmiler, he was joking</p>
<p>Just threaten to not take care of your parents when they get older</p>
<p>Hint: That's a joke too :)</p>
<p>But deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep deep down inside I think your parents will eventually understand...either that or they lose a son.</p>
<p>any of you wanna knock me out? you can just hit me square in the face and knock me out? i WANNA BE FREE FROM NIGHTMARE</p>
<p>Do you guys really think i have mind to interpretet jokes...my life is in living hell, and you think i can concentrate in other things?.............i just sit here all day look at my computer.......i have tons of hw, a math test and a us history test....am in the mood to study? not at all.......im just gonna wing it....i only did the IB for ucb, now its gone, so i dont really care anymore</p>

<p>I know how you feel man.. I'm basically 1 for 11 or so right now (7 waitlists), not the best feeling in the world..
best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Bestmiller, I understand the pain you are going through: parental pressure, college admissions, career choices, but you seem like your giving up and that's the worst thing (even worse than not attending college) you can do. You see, college isn't that important in America, but giving up and saying, "I don't feel like doing IB anymore" that's the attitude that prove your parents right. Never give up! Work harder than you ever had, then your parents can never accuse you of not trying your best. </p>
<p>Go to the Penn State second campus, spend a year or two to get the minimum GPA, transfer and prove your parents wrong. You now have a motivation to excel, use it!</p>
<p>BestMiler, I understand you're disappointed, but you really do need to put this in perspective. Right now, more than 70 out of every 100 in state applicants are dealing with rejection from UCB. And they ** all worked their butts off too.**</p>
<p>If you really care about your future, take some advice from Confucius: </p>
<p>Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.</p>
<p>It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.</p>
<p>Enough already with UCB. It's not that great, especially for undergraduates. Really. I live 10 miles away and know tons of people who went there, including me. Lots of overcrowded introductory classes, TA's galore your first couple of years, huge housing shortage, the city is no great shakes. Sure it's a good school, but you are seriously romanticizing the place into something it isn't. Go off to Penn State, knock 'em dead there, and apply to Berkeley for grad school. The grad and professional schools are what UCB is known for anyway.</p>
<p>You Know Why It Hurts So Much?
I Actually Worked My Butt Off In Hs
I Was Like Everyone: Must-do-well-in-hs-and-get-nothing-below-a-90
But What Happened, All Of Them Ended Some Place Good, While I Am Left In The Back, Rotting In Pain</p>
<p>BestMiller. Tell me what is the difference between a great school and another normal school? Nothing other than prestige and faculty. Ask yourself this: "Attending a school like Berkeley does not increase my capacity to learn so why can't I succeed just as much at any other college?" The answer is that you, and your parents, have the notion that attending a school like Berkeley automatically makes one a success, which is dead wrong. You can work yourself to death at any other college.</p>
<p>If you want a topnotch education, but get rejected everywhere enroll in a CC for a year. Take the course tests of the subjects you want that MIT places online and but their textbook. Try to excell in your CC while passing the MIT exams.</p>
<p>or, if you really want UCB then, if they allow sit-in's in their classes, enroll in a nearby CC and sit in the UCB classes.</p>
<p>i cant do sit ins in ucb, since i live in newyork. This is the difference between a great school and normal school...You see im a runner, so i look everything in the perspective of Track...I train really really hard, I do everything my coach tells me. I run the workouts and try to excel in them. When the time for a meet comes, i run a good time. I train really really hard throughout the season. I run in leagues and counties and i take All League and All County, but i run a better time this time.....You know why this is better than the other one? not because its a faster time or i got a good title...Because i worked hard, i strategized my plan, competed for the best spot and i slowly eliminated my competition one by one and achieved the best. Nows that the different. The Education might be the same in UCB or CC, but getting into a great school, will show that i have beaten all my competiton and left them to rot, because of my hard work, it will show that my hardwork is finally paid off...idk if you understand this or not, but someone who is track, definitely could relate</p>
