<p>she really did apply and she really did get in, as did i. we go to the same school and i am a very close friend of hers. all she felt like doing was showing that what people say on here is their opinion and has very little merit as far as a certain colleges acceptance tendencies. i somewhat hope most of the people down in VA arent like mr sox and maroban up there but it will make for a pretty fun few years if i get to handle angry little boys like him for fun. see ya in september guys!</p>
<p>ps ... im not tryin to be a dick to everyone on here cause most of us are just having innocent friendly conversation about colleges, but short guys with compensation issues really do p1ss me off</p>
<p>you hope people arent like me? are you trying to infer that i was being a jackass in this post? im not sure if youve been closely following this topic at all; where in this topic do i make any negative references or insults to the poster? i fail to understand your logic in concluding that im a "angry little boy". </p>
<p>yes, i did point out quite clearly the difference between the applications and such, and i could have either concluded two different ways: one, i could have approached it as i did, giving the poster the benefit of the doubt, or two, accuse the poster of deliberately trying to rub his or her acceptance into the faces of people who doubted the poster could make william and mary. now, whats the point of blindly accusing the poster for trying to gain revenge if there is a lack of any hard, conclusive evidence? since i was willing to give the poster the benefit of the doubt, i therefore decided to ask the poster to provide clarification on her stance, which eventually led to her admittal of faking the entire topic. </p>
<p>also, you call me a short guy with compensation issues? its quite ironic how you classify me with a compensation issue when its clearly your friend who is trying to compensate for the responses shes received through her topic by setting up an elaborate plot to embarass the responders, trying to gain revenge through this way. </p>
<p>next time, why don't you try to follow the topic more fully next time, instead of jumping in half-assedly and name calling people who were only responding to the original topic?</p>
<p>to the original poster: you come to this forum asking the readers what your chances are at william and mary. note the key words "YOU COME". that means you would willingly accept any criticism or thoughts that the readers offered to you. if you dont agree with it, fine, then let it go. but in your case, you decided to retaliate, but why? youre the one who came here in the first place. its either you take into consideration what people have said about your chances, or just leave it. when you cross the line by insulting the "discouraging people", who are only offering their true opinion, then youre being absolutely rude to the people, and it just clearly proves your stubbornness that you have in accepting what people say. you essentially set yourself up for the criticism by posting this topic. there were so many ways to approach this topic, yet you choose to try to trick the readers at this forum so as to satisfy yourself only.</p>
<p>you know what, just forget about my last post. its really not worth something arguing over. i do agree that people could be more polite with how they phrase their opinions, since it is disheartening to hear someone say outright "you wont make it cause your stats blow", but i still think you should be open to comments like this and not overreact or take them too seriously. thats my 10 cents.</p>
<p>i'm sorry. i had no intention of making people angry. i did ask the friend of mine who posted to take back his remarks. he said things that i really don't agree with.</p>
<p>about mashimaroban's insights to my original post -
i did not want to embarrass the responders at all. that was in NO WAY my intention. however, i did want to make the point that college acceptance is entirely based on what the review committee sees in us, now what we see in each other.
i did accept the opinions of other people. i agree that i may not have been as great of an applicant as some people on this website. but that's the nature of college admissions.
i didn't mean to be rude, and i didn't think that i was. however, the friend of mine who responded to you and the other responders was rude. i apologize on his behalf and take the blame for his argumentative comment. (it is up to you whether you accept that apology, but you should know that i do not share all of his feelings.)</p>
<p>sorry to maroban, you're right i didnt follow this too much and i was really talking to sox who was just being a dick so... yea. i wrote that to him n then just put maroban in there because i saw a pointless argumentative post. i dont mean to be an asshle and please dont take it out on my friend</p>
<p>oh, i was just wondering about dorms and stuff.. i guess i have time to worry about that later. you could probably say im just really excited/anxious...</p>
<p>Wow. This proves to me that CCers are unreliable to ask for admission chances. I have noticed that they make their guesses based on SAT, GPA, and rank. I'm soooo glad I didn't post "what's my chance" thread. Btw, crunkjuice, congratulation! I hope you'll be very happy with W&M next year-it's a great school.</p>
<p>obviously, what else do the posters have to go on? There's an entire forum for people to post their stats so other people who don't know anything can respond with a percentage.</p>
