<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC...?: Hope to get full ride...never watched my status...I definitely want to be a Trojan!</p>

<p>cc411-- you are so cool to do this! Thanks for taking care of us here at the cc USC boards so well.</p>

<p>cc, you have awesome stats. :D</p>

<p>^in my dreams... ;)</p>

<p>I actually really enjoyed typing those stats. I didn't include ALL the other ec's I had because I didn't want to brag TOO much... :)</p>

<p>cc411, you didn't mention a glowing rec from Warren Buffet so the assumption is he refused to give you one? don't count on the full ride...</p>

<p>Sequoia- you are so observant! You are so right and I was hoping no one would notice!</p>

<p>Oh man, this is total flashback, haha.</p>

<p>Aaah, I see that you have mastered the art of adding extra <return>s... :D I still cannot figure out how/when the <noparse> vbCode mangles them.</noparse></return></p>

<p>Actually, I should thank you again. I had to look up your old PM to remember how to do this. You were right- it doesn't seem to be logical- I had to get the spaces right with trial and error. I hope I can repeat it. (I copied and pasted the code for this into a Word file and I hope it will be the same when I post it again later.)</p>

<p>Let me know if you see any errors.</p>
