<p>BLIMEY!!! Doing all that for college? Heck no!!! I have been doing all that because I love doing things. Why the hell would I waste the 4 years of high school just thinking about college? </p>

<p>I did all that because I am passionate about doing and learning new stuff.</p>

<p>PS: I am AjayC. I am posting from my cell. I cant seem to get through with my password.</p>

<p>^
I am the one posted above. Just wanted to verify that for you :)</p>

<p>if that is the case, i think you have a good shot.</p>

<p>you are a strong applicant and i hope that you get in. if you really are as passionate as i presume, i commend you.</p>

<p>Thank you, mate :)</p>

<p>You are certainly on the right track if u score well on ur SATs. Break 750M,700V,700W and it looks like you could get the 10k scholarship.</p>

<p>However, international admissions are quite unbalanced so good luck, especially if you are going for financial aid.</p>

<p>Yeah, I require financial aid. Almost a full ride! :(</p>

<p>I think I will apply and play along.</p>
