<p>Just another example of how weak the admissions process is in judging character</p>
<p>FirstKid, did you get rejected?</p>
<p>...ohhh, hit the nail on the head AGAIN...</p>
<p>^Yeah FirstKid didn't get in.
pdef just a bit of friendly advice: u really should change your attitude.</p>
<p>why should he/she? I think he should keep his attitude like that forever. </p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Super Wizard, you best be gettin out of my grill right quick</p>
<p>pdef, I somehow think you're lying. If you're not, then I'm going to advise you to understand something:</p>
<p>when you go to Stanford, you will not be the most amazing person there. in fact, odds are you won't even be that high on the list. congratulations on your accomplishments, you should be proud - but you better take a pin to your overinflated ego fast, my friend, because you're overrating yourself.</p>
<p>NO ONE is that intimidating, particularly a high school student. For example, there's a kid who is doing UChicago's medical PhD program, having already finished undergrad, and is something like 15. He also receives amazing marks. Do I think he's intimidating? No. Would I be intimidated if I met him? Not at all.</p>
<p>I personally know lots of people who have been incredibly successful - multi-multi-millionaires and billionaires, prominent politicians, etc. I've also met many more - including people like Craig Kielburger, who started Free the Children. That's a way more wide-ranging charity than you've started, frankly (though I commend you for starting any at all). Are these people intimidating? No. In large part it's because the ones who are truly the most successful don't need to tell people about it. People KNOW. The ones who have to promote themselves tend not to be that spectacular, actually.</p>
<p>So my message to you is: congratulations (if you're not lying), but get over yourself. Fast.</p>
<p>I'm just having fun at the message board yo,
but I really don't appreciate you dissin on my organizations, and that's some real stuff right there...
P.S. Congrats on Caltech and Princeton</p>
<p>I'm not, but when compared to Free the Children most almost any charity started by a current high school student pales. Sorry, but that's not about me dissing on them, it's just a fact.</p>
