an important realization

<p>among the many 2250 SATs and countless hours of volunteer work, leadership services, and other exemplar traits that make each applicant a good candidate, i hope everyone here- especially those who aim for greatness- will one day, see a much greater world- beyond themselves, and strive to make a real positive impact in the world.. i hope it's not all in vain and the success each applicant gains- now and in the future- i hope it leads them into becoming better people..</p>

<p>just a thought...</p>

<p>Hear, hear!</p>

<p>now thats the truth. the same kind of thought crossed my mind while writing some of these essays. someone should put this thread on the front page of cc!</p>

<p>Well it definitely isn't in vain. Although I wouldn't be too sure about teh better people part.</p>

<p>It is kind of reassuring to know so many smart people are out there, who can help make the world a better place. Who's to say you'll make a bigger impact in the world with an Ivy education versues a state one?</p>

<p>amen to that!
I can only hope that when we receive top-notch educations in college and/or grad school, we do something with that knowledge. And as cheesy as it sounds, trying to make the world a better place for our children and the future should be part of everyone's goals in one way or another.</p>

<p>Yeah. There's no point in getting a Harvard education if you're just going to sit in your dad's cushy law office, or spend your days just goofing off.</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> ultimately, most of these people will become money minting machines.</p>

<p>Jesus was a carpenter.</p>

<p>LOL nice one dude.</p>
