<p>Why even bother posting this? Seriously.</p>

3

<p>i bothered posting this because I wanted to know my chances at colleges.
Just read the first line of this thread</p>

<p>you have as good a chance as anybody, unless you are an underrepresented minority, which gives you a much better chance. after stats and grades pass the bar, the most important thing is the essay, so if you wrote great essays then I think you have a decent chance, but it's not a guarantee at all.</p>

5

<p>Ermmm...</p>

<p><em>rolls eyes</em></p>

<p>Ok, you have perfect stats. What is your ethnicity/gender? This could play a big part (especially if you're Asian.)</p>

<p>You have a good shot with your stats (although it still is a CHANCE). Do you have a hook? Are you being recruited for sports.</p>

<p>Ugh you're disgustingly perfect.</p>

<p>hello Mikey888. wow, don't you look fabulous.
you already know this--your stats are great so are your track times. do you plan on running in college?
however, you didn't post any other ECs--what about community service? any academic honor societies? you look like a super-smart kid who is good at running. but, does that say much about who you are?
i'm sure you would be one of the best applicants at all three of those colleges--anybody could see that.
But at the same time, maybe you should show a passioin for something. If it's track, then you've got it. but if track isn't your true passion, then what is?
Mikey888, you know you have good chances. But make sure you don't just look like a sheet of stats, albeit nice stats.</p>

7

<p>yea, that's my problem...i don't really have anything else, maybe a few clubs here and there, and im VP of my class. I've won numerous writing and math competitions as well. </p>

<p>I am South-African.</p>

<p>And I'm sorry if my stats disgust you but honestly if u met me youd know that I have plenty of imperfections (just watch me play bball).</p>

<p>... = TROLL?</p>

<p>Seriously, I have a very difficult time believing this guy.</p>

10

<p>no, haha I'm not SandyRun that's my friend he goes to my school.</p>

<p>And enough with this troll baloney (or bologna). Honestly, if you don't belive it, don't post (and, moreover, don't post "troll," pretty pathetic attempt at an insult don't ya think ;D).</p>

<p>Now I'm serious, I know my chances are high, but you can't be sure with the ivies and I was hoping for some good feedback.</p>

11

<p>lol hey man, if CC GUYS are callin' you a troll, then yer pretty much set....i don't have much to say except for congrats, you are one hell of a dude to have both the sports and stats to get you a 75% or higher shot at any college you choose.</p>

12

<p>if you reply to my chances thread, I'll give you my opinion on yours....</p>

13

<p>if you actually ran a 48.6, whats your name? because im almost positive you would be going to baylor with that time...(top 400 meter runner school - jeremy warriner, etc.)</p>

14

<p>wait
do u mean he would go to college at baylor???</p>

<p>only an idiot would pass up an Ivy education for Baylor</p>

<p>If i had to chose betweenmy 150k debt for going to harvard (if i was interested), or 0 dollars debt for baylor i would chose Harvard.</p>

15

<p>if he actually ran that time, which he didn't...he would likely be more concerned with olympic trials etc. than gettin an ivy education...</p>

<p>also, mikey888 or w/e, your retarded because 3 people ran faster than 48.6 INDOOR (meaning that they are faster outdoor) at last weekends NSIC, so do some research next time you decide to lie</p>

16

<p>Most sports you have to practice hours everyday, it's almost physically impossible to do both winter track and hockey at the same time. Aren't they at the same time? If not, I apologize.</p>

17

<p>ok, if hes not real, he just wants to see CC people tell him hes not good enough bc thats all any1 on this site does, if he is real, which i think he is, thats a helluva time, and ur probly recruitable although im not sure about track and ivy leagues, i hope u get in, but admissions r ridiculous these days, u have a passion, sports, and perfect academics, lets hope u get in so the rest of us can have hope there is a system</p>

18

<p>or hope he does and is lying about his stats so the rest of us have a dream, let alone a chance</p>

19

<p>this is unreal....</p>

20

<p>If I'm Real?</p>

<p>Ok here we go. Charkins get a clue im not going to the olympics with a 48.6, first off thats a PR, not my average time. Secondly, u don't even know what state I'm in so I find it rather impossible for you to know my ranking within the state. My name is Matt Gordon...yea try looking me up genius.</p>

<p>And Hockey is during cross country, and practice is only 2 days a week.</p>

<p>Thank you for your time.</p>
