<p>A bump of your previous thread would suffice.</p>

<p>But I’ve changed my goals… thanks for the suggestion?</p>

<ul>
<li>I’m asking 2 additional questions. Anyone else?</li>
</ul>

<p>Being fickle isn’t exactly loved.</p>

<p>Learning something called “edit” would help.</p>

6

<p>Sorry, I don’t see an edit option</p>

7

<p>Huh…loved by who?</p>

8

<p>Bump. Don’t reply if you’re going to make a condescending remark, thanks :]</p>

<p>Ok – pretty scattered but I’d say it works. You’re translating business is the most interesting thing there, in my opinion. As far as chances go, you will be in the running, at Yale and Princeton many times it is a coin toss between two equally qualified students. I cannot guarantee admissions to any of the three but I will tell you that if you are rejected it was only decided by a flip of a coin as you will make it to that final round of decisions. Good luck with everything, Mr. HS.</p>

<p>Thank you, Mr. HS! I can’t sleep each night, thinking about this…so ridiculous.</p>

<p>There is an edit option if you go back to your previous post quickly enough. Instead of bumping dozens of times (which does make you look bad), try using edit function more.</p>
