<p>My thoughts: College applications are like this. You either have to run quickly in there, with athletic scholarships or special circumstances, or you need a ironclad application to withstand the arrows that get all the weaker apps. Or, applying is like trying to fend off the enemy. You take down a lot, but there are just too many until u get reinforcements.</p>

<p>that was a weird analogy. but i liked it.</p>

<p>Thanks adummb05. For some reason, i always find ways to analogize these things. Still, that doesn't change the fact that I need more replies. Anyone?</p>

<p>Although your scores and community service are impressive, your ECs are weak, and that's a big factor for Stanford.</p>

<p>bump again. Anyone out there?</p>

<p>to quote another guy, "shamelessly bumping"</p>
