<p>lol, unbelievable.</p>
<p>You should feel proud, beefs. You have people analyzing your every word. Don't you feel special? =p</p>
<p>HSisoverrated, I don't know what goals you have on this forum, but if it's to merely parade to the CC world whatever "wit" you may have, I hope colleges realize your narrow-minded, selfish nature and judge you accordingly.</p>
<p>HSisoverrated, you are more obnoxious than the OP. The OP is insecure and pompous. You are probably even more insecure and try to prove yourself to us by being "witty". Your attempts at being clever are pathetic...how about as a sophomore you go out and have some friends instead of obsessing over college.</p>
<p>^^^^^ Amen to stanfordkid and abanks, I agree 100% about HSisoverrated. He needs to grow up and realize that.. he's not funny :(</p>
<p>I laughed like 10 times reading through this thread. I didn't know CC was such a popular gathering place for arrogant students posing as witty "intellectuals" (that includes not just the OP but pretty much anyone here who has tried to defend his/her own posts). Everyone's being so ridiculously immature...</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>=D...were all being 8=======>'s</p>
<p>Well spoken.</p>
<p>I think MetdethGNR is a troll.</p>
<p>All of her posts are crazy:

<p>i think shes just emotionally and mentally unstable, judging from the other threads.</p>
<p>whoa whoa OP. try putting yourself in my shoes. i'm a freaking international student who can't exactly afford a private college tuition either and they're only six freaking colleges need-blind to me, six incredibly hard to get in schools. if i were you, American, i'd gladly go to any school in the top 40 which would give me aid, and i know plenty of them are need-blind to you, damn.</p>
<p>well blame your countries own lackluster education system for that</p>
<p>I agree that the OP does sound self-entitled. There are a lot of people in your predicament (i'm one of them). Just work hard and bear through it, instead of complaining.</p>
<p>Check me out! I applied to Dartmouth , Princeton and Harvard(along with Stanford , Williams and Duke!)</p>
<p>I have the crappiest score of 1780/2400 in the SAT(CR-560 , Math-570 , Writing-650 , Essay-10/12).The only silver lining in my standardized test scores is the 800 i got in U.S History! (For the time being lets neglect the 540 which I got in Physics even though Physics is my love!)</p>
<p>I don't want to sound pompous but my EC's are brilliant. Model UN , Quizzing , Debating , Drama and Soccer. Won a ton of prizes in them.</p>
<p>Again please ignore my vanity when I say that I am the Pres. of The Student Council and was elected Prefect of my school house twice!</p>
<p>And like the rest of the Ivy League hopefuls I am a straight 'A' student. I got straight A's in my CBSE(Indian Board) Exams in Science , Math , ENglish and Social Science and expect to repeat the feat in my Grade 12 Boards.</p>
<p>I have excellent recommendations from my principal and teachers(though my Physics professor was disappointed in my SAT 2 Physics score!).</p>
<p>And to top it all have applied for financial aid!</p>
<p>And I probably won't make it due to my horrible SAT scores....</p>
<p>I dreamt that I would complete my undergarduate studies in Harvard College and then proceed to J.F.K school of Government to graduate with honours in International Politics!</p>
<p>Looks like my Ivy League dreams have been dealt a severe blow! SIGH!</p>
<p>Dude, make a new post. You're hijacking every thread here.</p>
<p>But, 1780?! Do you really need anyone to tell you your chances?</p>
<p>I'm honestly appalled at this thread. Every one of us has been in a situation where we've felt confused, scared, and maybe a bit irrational. The college application process is a mind**** and we all know it. So what if the OP went a bit overboard with her descriptions of herself, she was writing in the heat of the moment.</p>
<p>I know that when I found CC I was excited for the opportunity to endure this college search/application process with others. The OP was simply stating her concerns in the hopes that the rest of us would understand and sympathize. She doesn't deserve to be brutally attacked.</p>
<p>Seriously, gain some perspective on how petty and mean you're all being.</p>

No, that's not true. I was raised by Rosie from the Jetsons. Machines do not feel fear.</p>
<p>^LOL. hahahaha (redundant, but I had to do it to exceed the 10 char limit)</p>
<p>i'm a junior, my high school is pretty good but not a TOP school or something really, really good... it just has a good reputation...
but my class is just so crazy and every student wants to be number one and so its really competitive and even if you have a 4.43 gpa (weighted) you still wouldnt even be in the top FIVE PERCENT. you would be in the top ten percent... but our school isnt listed as highly competitive, because its just this ONE class, my class, that is this way and in the rest of the classes (years), theres just one or two students who want to be number one. its frustrating. oh well. i just really really really want to get into Brown.</p>
<p>I would just put up with failures (although i hate failures)</p>
