Duke Robertson vs Nearly Full Ride Princeton

College Search & Selection

<p>ha!, coming from “iamtbh” an international student that failed to get into his first choice and is intimidated by anything Princeton.</p>

<p>how are those Menlo Park Junior College classes going these days?</p>

<p>

</p>

242

<p>

</p>

<p>Yup, you got it. It’s also a high school award in the same sense that an Intel Science is an award given to high schoolers.</p>

<p>btw: I have no relationship to Princeton.</p>

<p>“Classy” (and all too predictable) post by this paper tiger. In the interest of full disclosure, JA12 is a self-professed former officer of a “top 3” Eating Club at Princeton:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This, coupled with the over-the-top elitism of his excessive posts, should give prospective students more reason to cross Princeton off their lists and choose HYSM if possible. The funny thing is, he has absolutely no idea that he is his own worst enemy.</p>

244

<p>iamtbh, so when you take a day off from those “tough” Menlo Junior College classes to walk around the beautiful Stanford Campus, how does it feel?</p>

<p>In your mind, do you ever wonder how it would be like attending a top institution like Stanford?</p>

<p>and by this I mean being accepted and enrolling in the school, not crashing and attending some of the Stanford classes like you have been doing…</p>

<p>What is the latest count?..about 8 Stanford T-shirts that you have purchased and wear 90% of the time?</p>

245

<p>

</p>

<p>You can’t teach an old paper tiger new tricks!!</p>

246

<p>

</p>

<p>And clearly ■■■■■■ don’t die, much like cockroaches. Would you like a cookie?</p>

247

<p>As the paper tiger cub “roars”!</p>

248

<p>Paper can’t roar.</p>

<p>EDIT: And punctuation lies outside of quotation marks.</p>

249

<p>

</p>

<p>Hence the quotation marks, cubbie.</p>

<p>I’m inanimate. If you look at a banana (also inanimate), how can you tell when it’s “roaring” or not? Unless you are hallucinating, of course. Is that what you’re saying?</p>

253

<p>Are you kidding? The choice is obvious. princeton</p>

254

<p>OP chose Duke. Let this thread die already.</p>

255

<p>

</p>

<p>I suspected as much.</p>

256

<p>

</p>

<p>That explains your silence.</p>

257

<p>

Well, your admission to Princeton was offered to you while you were in high school, but you seem pretty proud of it. You just don’t seem to get that there are some scholarships and honors that are earned by high schoolers that go with them into later life. Having one of these especially competitive and prestigious scholarships is one of them.</p>

258

<p>Thanks to everyone who replied with their opinions - it helped a lot. I did (as mentioned earlier) choose Duke and the Robertson, and I’ll see where it takes me!</p>

259

<p>Congrats sikhman! :). Glad to see you’ll be a future Dukie</p>

260

<p>sikhman, well a warm congratulations to you.</p>

<p>a great choice.</p>

<p>you are going to have a great time at Duke in the Robertson program.</p>
