<p>All the best to those awaiting the big decision. </p>
<p>For those interested, here's the Early Decision thread from last year:</p>
<p>yeah, 16 or so more days.</p>
<p>This is what the kids used last year-I say we keep up the tradition:
*Decision: *</p>
<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT/ACT:
[</em>] SAT IIs:
[<em>] GPA (w/uw):
[</em>] Rank/Percentile (# out of #) or %:

<p>General Comments:</p>
<p>Fill in once we get our letters, I guess. (Last year's thread is scary-this year's will be worse.)</p>
<p>I'm going to pull this up so we don't lose it in the next week or so...</p>
<p>^Just make a new thread the day of.</p>
<p>Also, It's not helpful to give people the decisions format like that.</p>
<p>Here's the 'code' for all that special coloring and bolding and bulleting.</p>
<p>Remove all the spaces in the brackets, and it will appear in that nice format.</p>

<p>maybe snemia could tell me how he posted it without the need to remove spaces. I'm guessing it's some other form of quote.</p>
<p>I still say the first three "subjective" items are usually the deciding factors and are more than merely subjective. Seriously, how many people have read their recs to know if they're truthfully good or stellar?</p>

<p>Just add empty bold quotes instead of spaces.</p>
<p>Modadunn: My rec letters were really great, I think. They made my mother cry.</p>
<p>And how do you quote things? I can't make it work.</p>

<p>Not only have I not seen S's recs, his counselor does not see teacher's recs. They explained why they do that and it made great sense at the time, but I don't remember what it was. I imagine they are good, and the ROT is that usually teachers will kind of steer you away if they can't honestly write a good rec.</p>
<p>And.. haven't a clue. I tried clicking on Quote message in reply, but oddly that doesn't seem to work.</p>
<p>Yeah. I've never understood the quote message thing.</p>
<p>What you do to do one of these quotes:</p>
<p>
[Quote]
Is that you type [ Quote] before the quote you are using, and [ /Quote] afterwards to return to normal text. (remove the spaces in the brackets and it will work)

<p>I really wish there was some place that teaches you all this fancy stuff. I've just picked it up over time by asking people.</p>
<p>Ohhhh it's just HTML. I know all of that stuff! I just thought the "Quote message in reply?" box actually had meaning.</p>

<p>You'd think.</p>
<p>You can click this link to learn how to use smilies :D</p>
<p>click here</p>
<p>you can click this link to use codes:</p>
<p>click me</p>
<p>Thanks! For future knowledge though, what path should I click to get to those pages?</p>
<p>I often don't use the same computer, so I would like to know how to get back to those pages besides bookmarking it.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Thanks. I had, of course, previously tried googling it, but I didn't know its official name (bbcode).</p>
<p>Bumpppppppppppppppppppppppp (we'll actually need this today)</p>
<p>Don't use this thread... make a new one about fifteen minutes before decisions are released.</p>
<p>good luck to all</p>
