<p>I’m having trouble believing you…</p>

7

<p>I can’t tell if this is a joke or not.</p>

<p>

Why?
Numbers?
Remember, this is the UK.
I did not send my SAT scores, since they didn’t ask for any.</p>

<p>

What would you like?
Should I scan my SAT results?
I think it is possible to take a screenshot.</p>

<p>Want a hug . C’mere <=]</p>

10

<p>Well, that coupled with the fact that you joined CC less than a week ago. Just fishy circumstances.</p>

11

<p>hey pm me your essays, rejection seems like an anomaly. where are you applying? and where have you been rejected so far?</p>

12

<p>

Thank you for your point.
However, I would be most glad if you could spare me a benefit of the doubt.</p>

13

<p>I’ll try! Maybe it’ll make more sense if you tell us your essay topics, or even the places you’ve been rejected from so far!</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>So far, from two institutions in the UK.</p>

15

<p>My counselor’s primary argument is that the UK has a different system of admissions.</p>

16

<p>That’s horrible, Jozhekryx. I hope you get into an Ivy.</p>

17

<p>“represented state in the World Money Forum”</p>

<p>You have states in the UK?</p>

18

<p>

I am not from the UK.</p>

19

<p>

Thank you for your kind words!
I hope so too.</p>
