2

<p>with those scores im surprised youre not applying to a couple more schools on bates+colbys level and better</p>

3

<p>my parents said something about affirmative action and said something about how my cousins have dropped out of those schools, etc.</p>

4

<p>Affirmative action? I don't get it. And what schools could be more different than GWU and BU vs. Colby and Bates? Have you really thought about what type of school you want to attend for 4 years?</p>

5

<p>i think u should apply to some better school than those :D</p>

6

<p>I think, in your best interest, you should apply to better schools, you could definitely get in.</p>

7

<p>you're definitely underpicking dude.</p>
