<p>Hey guys, I know that it's late, but I cannot wait. I am "dying" to get into an Ivy League college, specifically Brown, Harvard, UPenn, or Yale. My mom went to Brown, which can help. I have been to two summer camps at Brown (awesome experience), and I fell in love with the place. I want to even play basketball to increase admission chances. I am only a sophomore and have not taken the SAT yet (will take in fall), so don't chew me out on it!Also, I have about 20 inventions that I will "sell" this summer/ work with company in nearby city.</p>

<p>What are you talking about? I am not trying to force my way into college solely on “b-ball stats;” I simply put them there so others can tell me if I am good enough to play. I even impressed a Brown University scout on the brown campus at <a href=“mailto:summer@brown”>summer@brown</a>. His jaw dropped, and he tried to play ANY game with me. Sure, I am short, but have you heard of Chris Paul? I have played every postion because I play with reckless abandon and I am extremely versatile. Please let me know if my acedemic accomplishments are good enough tp get into an Ivy League school. I am extremely motivated to gain admission to open myself to a lifetime of wonderful people and connections. BTW, those stats ARE REAL!!! I drop jaws when I play b-ball because of my unexpected explosiveness and hops. I even nearly jumped OVER a 6’ 6" 250 lpound Center in seventh grade. I only care about getting in on my academic accolades, so please help me out here!!!</p>
<p>Okay…you posted this on seven other forums. That says something about you.
I have this feeling that this is some kind of closet ■■■■■, but oh well.</p>
<p>Your stats are good, and you seem well-rounded.
But there is this sinking feeling that you may get rejected at like all Ivies except like two.
I do not know why. I have this feeling that you don’t seem like the type who can stick to one thing and see it through, or you do too much for your own good.</p>
<p>There is just something wrong with this picture.</p>
<p>And yes, I noticed that he posted this everywhere.
And dude, get a grip, IVY status is not everything. There are a boat load of colleges like MIT and CALTECH that isn’t IVY but up there.</p>
<p>Can someone give me positive feedback or good constructive criticism for my chances at UPenn? My passions are: basketball, inventions, helping orphans, and debate. Help me out please!</p>
<p>big dreamer, I think u have a great shot at UPenn (particularly cuz of ur b-blall prowess) and Brown (cuz ur a legacy) so just keep up wat ur doing and u should be fine. but dont stress tho! good luck :P</p>
<p>Thanks CU4L91 for your kind input and good advice about stressing! Your right, I am a bit overly concerned, but I just want to avoid a dreaded “catastrophic mistake.” These top schools have confusing admissions departments, but they always say to be yourself…
Thanks!</p>
<p>What do you ever mean, Gelco321? I may be smarter than the average bear, but to call myself “clever,” that must be a reach beyond means! Why are you so upset? Just enjoy life, and do not harbor hatred! </p>
<p>You seem very upset with me, what did I do to vex you? Oh well, it may be useless to try to appease everyone! ;)</p>
<p>My Point: "I’ve got some good info. ****! "</p>
