<p>try for the jerome fisher program... it will excuse your hyper techno-centric extracirics....</p>
<p>Or Vagelos for his hyper bio centric activities haha.</p>
<p>ooh.
yeah you might need some more awards... 50/50.</p>
<p>puhleeeeez
-aj</p>
<p>Ummm, yeah, you should be looking at Community College, dude, not UPenn.;) Come on, I doubt many applicants to Wharton or Stern or Sloan or anywhere else are Fortune 500 CEOs before they graduate from HS. You have an incredibly good shot at Wharton. Chill, do a good job with your essays, make up some BS about business, and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>and..offer to change the name of that planet to "Quaker World" if you get in</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Ooooh, or email your adcom and offer to name it after him/her.</p>
<p>meglo. your posts always make me chuckle. that combined with your username gets you a goldstar of awesomeness.</p>
<p><em>blushes</em> Here's another fun fact, I'm brown, so when I blush, it becomes kinda purplish rather than red.</p>
<p>sounds painful (I'm putting off application essays, btw. I promise my life doesnt only consist of online forums).</p>
<p>Haha, nah, just way too Barney for me. Good thing I don't get embarrassed easily. Something about streaking a neighborhood while being chased by a dog just sorta makes everything that comes after it less embarrassing. Heh, you aren't the only one putting off essays. I still have my p. 217 to go. And my Common App essay. And other stuff.</p>
<p>Wake Forest requires two long essays. and seven short answers. and i want to stab my eye out with my pencil. preferably, the blunt end. </p>
<p>describe myself in 50 words or less?
tubular. stellar. cute. AWESOME. witty. better then 90% of the people applying. hater of college apps</p>
<p>oop. one short answer done right there...</p>
<p>try adding. my voice sounds like melted chocolate:) err, assuming you're a guy. in which case, pray you get a female app reader with a sense of humor;)</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure melted chocolate sounds...squishy. Which isnt a positive attribute in guys or girls. And since I'm a girl, maybe I just just write, 'looks good in bikini.'</p>
<p>p.s. we have thoroughty hijacked this thread.</p>
<p>so, for my Penn picture, I have a shot of me next to a Benz SLK 240, and I'm sending it in with a caption: I have a car and you have a thick envelope. Come April, I'll have a thick envelope and you'll have a car. Hopefully.</p>
<p>Haha, yeah, we have. Shall we just start a chat thread? And no, melted chocolate is supposed to be hot. Someone told me that.</p>
<p>tupac, from what I have seen is Wharton wants kids with lots of interests. in fact, having too much centered around business (e.g. most of my big ECs were fundraisers) may actually be a negative point. It sounds silly, but I think they really do want the jock, the cheerleader, the science geek, the foreign language whiz, the math genius, etc. I think you will do fine, but please find another reason besides the money (by the way, w/ all the "quantitative" stuff you do, you might actually come to enjoy it!)</p>
<p>hey i'm just curious, what was ur essay on tupac about (i mean i know it was about tupac) but how did he influence you and whatnot.</p>
<p>Broadened my outlook on the world - connected me to all people of all backgrounds</p>
<p>Tupac- Your many science awards and commitment to research draws many praises. But all of a sudden you want to study business just for the money. Thanks for your honesty, but this just betrays your "passion" for science. Looking at your ECs and merits, one would think that you are devoted to science and passionate about research. Now whoever knows your true motives must feel really disappointed, because those activities and awards all sound superficial- as if you did them solely for college. Your research advisor, Michael Whatever, must be heartbroken, if he knew.</p>
<p>I was thinking about that. But one of my friends told me that my life is my own and that I should not live for other people.</p>
<p>I agree with him.</p>
