<p>@calmom I’m not saying i’m not going to apply. OBVIOUSLY i’m going to applying but yes when people on the internet basically tell you that your resume looks like ■■■■, i get discouraged. </p>
<p>I was raised by a single mother when she was 17 years old, i’m an ENTJ on the myer-briggs scale (kind of irrelevant but google it) and i’m also a perfectionist. so while i’m extremely independent and have been “majoring in unafraid” for almost my entire life, being a perfectionist makes me very harsh on myself so any feedback that is less than stellar makes me want to work on myself and be the very best i can be. i take criticism seriously and have faced many rejections in my life so no i wouldn’t say i’m fragile, i just ask questions and give you my responses earnestly because i want to know how i can be better and what is “wrong” with my application. i wasn’t trying to come off as upset but more of concerned as i genuinely, deeply want to know what i can do to get into Barnard as it is my 2nd choice and frankly the only school i could be truly happy at if i got rejected at Brown. I think if anything, that is a trait of a Barnard girl–to take a look at themselves and be able to change to be better. You’re also making huge assumptions about me based on something i posted on the internet at 11pm at night. Everything you’ve said hasn’t upset me or made me seem fragile up until this point. I don’t take kindly to people telling me what am and what i’m not, especially people who don’t know me at all. </p>
<p>That being said, i’m not trying to start some kind of internet war and i’m not actually that upset BUT i’m telling you honestly and plainly that you’re wrong about the things you said in your last post. </p>
