You know what. I changed my mind. DON’T CHANCE ME!! (I don’t really feel like contacting CC admins to delete the post, but I changed my mind about asking). I’d rather not know whether or not a stranger thinks that I am good enough to apply. I’m going to apply anyway, and focus more of my time helping out my community rather than cramming for the SAT. Good luck to all you prospective college applicants! Peace.

Yo you went to SIMUW? Me too xd

No way! Did you go to any pizza Wednesdays this year?
