<p>OK, after reading all these posts about people striving for HYPCS and the links about the "super-applicants", I'm beginning to question whether people really have their perspectives in place. In other words, are people focusing too much about colleges and forgetting about the other important factors in our lives?</p>
<p>i agree, some people on here disgust me.</p>

<p>hey cory, nice counting...hahahahaha loSer</p>
<p>I wonder if this will develop into a novel forum game.</p>
<p>And yes, I do think some people focus too much on colleges.</p>
<p>The very fact that this is CC draws this type of person toward it.</p>
<p>In other words, almost everyone here focuses too much on colleges. Unfortunate, but true.</p>
<p>I don't think you can find anyone that doesn't truly believe that SOME people focus too much on colleges.</p>
<p>Of course, but that's the beauty of CC. Pretty much everyone here is guilty of being too preoccupied with college...</p>
<p>Different people choose to focus on different things in their lives. To you, aiming for those schools may not be the most important thing in the world, but to others it is. You have your goals and they have theirs; try to accept that and not judge them too harshly.</p>
<p>CC is a website completely devoted to college. Why are you suprised that people on this website are thinking about what college they want to go to?</p>
<p>Exactly pramirez184. This is a college forum. You think we wouldn't be here if we weren't thinking about college?</p>
<p>OK, but I must agree, some people here devote their entire teenage lives to getting into college and they lose track of what you're supposed to be doing as a teen...having fun! These are the people who disgust me.</p>
<p>vincanity you should learn how to take a joke</p>

<p>random thought.. why do ppl call it HYPS? now that princeton is "ahead" (according to USNEWS, which i think should go die!), shouldnt it be PHYS? it's still phonetically possible..or if u add Caltech..PSYCH! </p>
<p>and for CA publics berkeley, UCLA, UCSD = BLASD! like "blast!" im so clever...ok its 143 am..im tired</p>
<p>any RELIABLE comments?</p>
<p>hahahahaha PSYCH who would've thought the five schools could actually form the state in which so many college applying seniors are at. perhaps we can all try and make it some sort of fad.. ' im so psyched-out' or something</p>
<p>having said that everyone deals with anxiety in a different way... and the function of this forum is to be an environment where all sorts of diff stress levels come in.. whats stressful for you may not be for osmeone else and vice versa.</p>
<p>There are thousands of colleges out there, but I worry that there are only 6-10 in the minds of the vast majority of students.</p>
<p>I think we need to get this thread back on topic.</p>
<p>cory123 disgusts me.</p>
<p>haha there we go</p>
