<p>Well aren't you so special. You sound to me like someone who thinks they are better than everyone else because no one else could possibly have worked as hard as them. I didn't have to write 500 pages in one shot, but yes I did have to write a lot and I can guarantee you it added up to something like a thousand pages in total. Our textbook was just as big, thank you very much. Not to mention that each teacher felt they were the most important teacher in the class and had to give the most homework. I didn't say that I am the only person who has had to work hard. I simply said that it was a very, very difficult class and it was hard for me to adjust at first. What's so hard to believe about that? Plus, I never said the AP classes were hard, they are so easy compared to that class! Man, I probably won't use the essay, I just don't appreciate being called a liar!</p>
<p>what you went through was tough, i'm sure, but i really don't understand why you are writing about it. if you're trying to impress us, you've failed.</p>
<p>what can i say? brilliant essay topic...I like how you satirize the "enlightening" experience by emphasizing what you learned in a simple humanities class. By describing the difficulties of the course, you also poke fun at the true obstacles people face in life...You kept me laughing the entire time...well done</p>
<p>I'm not trying to impress you. I just saw the prompt on the supplement about the academic class/project/paper etc. that was the most significant to you and I wrote an essay on the class that ended up teaching me the most. I just don't like being called a liar and being told that other people took harder classes than me when I never said that other schools don't have classes as hard or even harder than the one I took. Maybe it didn't come across right, but I was just trying to convey how a situation I was skeptical about and having trouble with at first ended up being beneficial. You all make me out to be some horrible person or something. Also, I didn't choose to take the class. It was either take the class or drop out of the IDEA program, which I absolutely loved. I wasn't about to drop out of it.</p>
<p>I'm not going to be as harsh as others on this board have been, but if I were you I'd really drop the essay. It doesn't say anything important, and it's pretty cliche. It might be ok for a less selective school, but for Harvard it's really not going to help your chances to send this in.</p>
<p>Wait, so now you're saying that this class was a MINIMUM requirement for your advanced program?</p>
<p>I am now even more skeptical than I was before.</p>
<p>Also, I never said my APUSH class was that hard, because it wasn't. It was a bit harder than normal, yeah, but nothing to write an essay about. Also, you seem to be flip-flopping (can I still use that word? haha), first stating very clearly how much work was done, then going back and saying you wrote 1,000 pages, which would be substantially more than what you said. In fact, it would be impossible. I wrote 500 pages in a YEAR. You wrote 1,000 pages in 9 weeks? Flipchick, just stop responding and digging yourself a deeper hole. </p>
<p>By the way, super6's post is genius. Hahaha.</p>
<p>Nooo, of course I didn't write 1000 pages in 9 weeks!!!! I meant the whole year, with all of the writing assignments we had. And it wasn't a minimum requirement, it was simply what the class that year was for the program. Most people drop out after sophomore year because they refuse to take that class. The program doesn't really give you anything extra except putting you in harder classes than honors classes.</p>
<p>I just find it ridiculous that you are insulting my character and calling me a liar because of this. So you didn't like my essay--fine! That's what I wanted to hear--feedback! It's just ridiculuous that you are calling me a liar when you are not at my school and cannot possibly make a judgment with the information you have on the class. I'm sure your APUSH class was hard, but my class was very hard too. I didn't say it was harder than other classes at other schools, it just was far harder than anything I have encountered. My goodness, do you really delight in insulting people so badly? I've been nothing but honest the whole time on this thread. Stop trying to accuse me.</p>
<p>Your grammar has been good so far, which leads me to question this:</p>
<p>First quote: "And it wasn't a minimum requirement, it was simply what the class that year was for the program."</p>
<p>That means that this Humanities course just happened to fall on your junior year.</p>
<p>Second quote: "Most people drop out after sophomore year because they refuse to take that class."</p>
<p>Had the first quote been true, you would've written "Most people DROPPED" out after sophomore year.</p>
<p>Just a minor thing I found interesting. Not saying it's enough to state that you were lying. Just a funny little thing.</p>
<p>Personally, I don't see the point of your last post. Are you trying to say that I could be lying because I worded something wrong? You understood what I meant to say. I'm not proofreading these posts you know. I'm surprised I haven't had grammar mistakes in more of them.</p>
<p>I just thought it was interesting was all, in an Encyclopedia Brownish way :D.</p>
<p>By the way, flipchick, you're taking this way too seriously. So, you wrote a bad essay and maybe exaggerated a fidget. It's not like it's the end of the world.</p>
<p>Whatever you say. All that matters is that you understood what I meant. Wow, I put drop instead of dropped! What a big, important, glaring mistake! I better just give up with writing all together, not go to college, and become a professional hermit. That would make you happy.
And I didn't exaggerate.</p>
