<p>Put the applications in and hope for the best. It's like buying a lottery ticket when the jackpot is really high: what you are purchasing is the fun of dreaming about what you'd do with the winnings, right up until the winning numbers are announced. If you are applying, you have the right to dream and feel hopeful. If you get accepted, great. If you don't, THEN you can feel bad. For a while. Don't borrow trouble now. It will change nothing, and it may be unwarranted.</p>
<p>jeez...u sure like to talk about yourself but w/e. hey, you don't need to be a straight-A student to be accepted to an Ivy. Plenty of students with Bs are accepted. It sounds like you are doing this anyways, but make sure you take the hardest courseload your school offers and do sufficiently well in those. Make sure you do a bunch of ECs and excel in those. There is really no need to do 10 zillion things if you're not enthusiastic about them. It's great that you are president of your class.</p>
<p>I don't know if you have legacy at any of those schools, but that always helps to a degree. It's good that you want to apply to these schools: get started on those apps early so you don't stress out. Make sure you have some "safeties", too.</p>
<p>In the long run, Ivy or not, college will be a fun experience and the name on your diploma doesn't really matter for getting a job.</p>
<p>i feel truly bad for your ***.i could really see you going into a massive depression if things dont work out for you in april</p>

Technically you're supposed to go with common usage, which is reinforce.

Nobody spells it "re-enforce," we all know it's supposed to be "reinforce." That's like spelling "to-day" when everybody says "today." It's so annoying when people are too stubborn and proud to admit they made a mistake.

<p>No, re-enforce is not like spelling to-day.</p>
<p>Check yo dictionaries fool. Common terminology is not the absolute version of the English language. The fact that I opted for a less appreciated word does not make it a mistake. </p>
<p>H8ter.</p>
<p>There's a word for people like you in my native language... it's unfortunate that there's no exact translation for it into English!</p>
<p>8 already includes the 't' sound. It would be h8er or h8r, not h8ter.</p>
<p>Ivy league is a really bad sports league.</p>
<p>Lots of great colleges out there. It's fine.
Do those places even excell at the major
you're gonna do? How in depth was your
research on each ivy or did you apply due
to its "name recognition."</p>
<p>Overreacting >__> jeez...</p>
<p>im pretty sure she applied because of name recognition.</p>
<p>Hahahah I can't wait until the poster gets rejected.</p>
<p>thats not nice to say, even though im kinda hoping they get taught a lesson</p>
<p>Maybe if you don't get into ivy league in April, you could take a PG year and apply during that year. If you don't get in that year, repeat the cycle all over again. Maybe when you're 60 and still applying to college will the ivy leagues finally realize you are "unique" and finally accept you [/sarcasm]</p>

<p>Clearly you aren't an expert in L33t.</p>
<p>You mean 1337.</p>
<p>To the OP, I understand where you're coming from. Just don't let it ruin your life if someone doesn't realize your potential. Be who you are and make the best of anywhere you end up. If you are truly an intellectual, you can manipulate your situation to work for you, even if you end up going to college on a stranded island with nothing but rocks and coconut trees surrounding you.</p>
<p>I love how Overrated keeps getting pwned.... xD</p>
<p>I've felt like the OP before. And for a lot of you who are criticizing her, I bet you have, too. Sometimes this whole college admissions process seems hopeless. Just don't lose sight of what's really important, and stay optimistic :)</p>
<p>speakng more than one language doesn't really help.if a kid grows up in an asian household, they usually speak more than one language. colleges know that.</p>
<p>^Crappers. Thanks for ruining my day!</p>
<p>The OP is arrogant, egocentric, ethnocentric, racist, homophobic, and whiny. I'm curious to see where she ends up. I won't be surprised if she gets into a top school, but I'm curious which one will have overlooked her questionable character.</p>
<p>Not to mention awful personality, eh san?</p>

<p>No, I mean L@@t.</p>
<p>I think the OPs downfall could be the fact that she is just smart, brilliant, what ever you want to call it and nothing else... it really helps to be well rounded and have other interests. Call them hooks, or ECs, the point is tho show that you do not just sit with your head in a book all day. Love of learning is more than the ability to sit in a library all day, which she said she likes to do. That is not a good thing. Show what you learn, do, experience outside the library and classroom to make you interesting and a wanted addition to whatever college you want to get into. Brilliance isn't enough, because there are lots of brilliant folks out there.</p>
