<p>He didn't pay me. =/</p>
<p>Kind of ambiguous wager. If he meant Penn State, he’s right. If he meant U Penn he lost. And remember that Ivy league is only an athletic conference.</p>
<p>Exactly. Going to an “Ivy League” school means near nothing if one is not heavily involved in sports (as opposed to other good schools like Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Duke, etc.)</p>
<p>It was definitely UPenn. The guy came up to me in the locker room and just said, “UPenn isn’t an Ivy League school,” out of the blue. He thought the 8th school was Colgate. =P</p>
<p>Did you shake on it? If you did that punk needs to pay up soon. If not, your out of luck.</p>
<p>yo shoot him</p>
<p>Haha, my grandfather thought Colgate was the 8th Ivy League too. I don’t know why lots of people think that.</p>
<p>yeah, we shook on it. i didn’t instigate it at all i promise. he suggested the bet and told me about 5 times that i’d better bring the $300 the next day lol.</p>
<p>^chronicfuture, maybe because it sounds like and is located near cornell?</p>
<p>lol at “means near nothing if one is not heavily involved in sports”</p>
<p>I’ll do you one better. A girl at my school had always wanted to go to MIT during high school…then it’s May 1st, and someone tells her it’s not an ivy. now, sight unseen, she’s going to columbia. sigh.</p>
<p>^ ugh so stupid</p>
<p>Anon, I highly doubt that was the reason. Did she even get into MIT?</p>
<p>then beat his ass obviously. or hire some black people or something.</p>
<p>facepalm.jpg</p>
<p>Everyone ay my school forgets about Columbia and thinks that Purdue is an ivy.</p>
<p>And there’s a high chance that kid was talking about PSU.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^^ I lol’d at this.</p>
<p>dunbar, i am as close as sure I can be without actually being her. She did get into both, because she is a URM with a very good SAT I (2300+)…(whether you want to say AA is right or wrong, it exists, and it gave her some help)…</p>
<p>but aren’t you basically assuming that she chose Columbia over MIT because it’s an Ivy? did she actually tell you that?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If she had a 2300+ SAT, she obviously did not need any AA and probably would have gotten in anyway. I know a few White people with sub 2300 schools that have gotten into these schools. As long as you have some great ECs, you probably won’t get rejected with a 4.0 and 2400</p>
<p>Guys I’m positive that he didn’t think it was Penn State. Believe me I clarified this with him and everything.</p>
<p>And DreamingOutLoud, plenty of people with 2300s get rejected at schools like MIT. I’ve never heard of an AA getting rejected anywhere with a 2300 though, because statistically there are very few AAs with 2300s.</p>
<p>colt_ford, you’re not serious are you?</p>
