<p>Yoooooo
I take it that you're into business right? Same here.
What school do you go to, and where do you live? (Haha, don't worry, I won't stalk you.)
I want to go to Wharton or Stern too.. love cities
=)</p>

<p>I live in Mercer County, NJ but i wont tell you the city or the exact school- if i did i would reveal my identity. But about my school- its ranked around 28th in NJ and sends about 4-6 ivies a year (avg class size of 300).</p>

6

<p>hmm.. 4-6 ivies isn't that great. Our school sends 10-15
..
Malvern, PA (rich snobby white town with rich druggies on the main line that gets into any school because of legacy)</p>

7

<p>yeah, my town is rich and white too. There are 3 (yes 3!) minorities in the entire high school of 1200 kids. Around 20 asians, and the rest are all white. And the people are so rich, that 83% will not even need financial aid. I still havent met anyone i can consider REAL middle class- yeah snobbish and annoying.</p>

<p>haha.. god, I hate the whole college admition process.. i just joined CC today.. and i'm so surprised at how many people are completely anal about everything.. like, this kid's valedictorian, perfect sats, owns his own company, the works. my god, makes pale so much in comparison. And yea.. holy ****, I posted this long butt thread, which was basically my personal notes, and then i realized that i couldn't edit or delete it.. like.. oh no! do you know how to delete entries?</p>

<p>i know you can edit them- as long as its done soon after the post. But i dont know about deleting.
i know that there might be some "anal" people here, but a lot of them are really nice too (in my limited time here). All im saying is give everyone a chance, because if everybody here had perfect stats, i dont think theyd care about the well being of others- which im sure they do :) Good luck with all your college stuff, and thanks for all your help.</p>
