<p>I didnt include all the pointless clubs i joined in which I did not have a major position</p>
<p>I wrote my essay about moving from india to america at the age of 14. I based my other essay my interest in resrearch.....</p>
<p>my recommendations are decent too...i think</p>
<p>oh and I am also the first generation in my family to go to college</p>
<p>hey.!??!?! are u the guy who also started a thread for Caltech, Harvard and Stanford. Dude! come on!</p>
<p>lol...yea...too much time on my hands..</p>
<p>wait...i just remembered. I did not post on harvard and stanford...
not good enough for them...</p>
<p>also, g-town, ucla, rice, cornell, virginia, berkeley, vanderbilt, northwestern, dartmouth, columbia, nyu stern, yale, princeton & brown.</p>
<p>wow, lots of chances threads. why do you feel the need to ask for chances to so many schools?</p>
<p>insecurity.</p>
<p>why bother posting chance threads? no one here can tell you how qualified you are. just apply and wait.</p>
<p>yea...u guys are right...but i am going crazy waiting for my ED results from cornell...lol</p>
<p>i mean, i'm not trying to scold you for being curious, so don't be mistaken. i just want you to know that you are a good candidate, and that at this point nothing any of us say or don't say will change the outcomes of your applications. </p>
<p>you need to just breathe. breathe, and think about now. the homework you have now, the friends you have now, the things you should be doing now, and not worrying about what's to come with your decisions. it's out of your hands. </p>
<p>and, you'll do just fine.
:)
don't worry.</p>
<p>thanx flybyzephyr. My Type A personality usually prevents me from doing that sometimes</p>
<p>i hate when people give excuses for test scores, especially when theyre good. come on now dude, appendicitis?</p>
<p>I actually had an appendicitis attack during the test. my appendix had burst by the time i got to the hospital . do u think that did not affect my score? At first, i did feel like a total ass for putting it on my app but my counselor convinced me that it can only help and its the truth...
and trust me, i am more than happy with a 2190...unlike some other applicants who aren't even satisfied with a 2300</p>
