<p>OK, guys. I don't know whether or not you have seen my "venting" thread (do search cuz im not quite sure where it's located). Anyways, it seems to be a success and the people who use it seem to enjoy it. So, I have decided to start another thread (on the Ivy, top college, and college admission forums) to help soothe the emotions of the over-stressed CC'ers. Simply put, anyone on these forums who has gotten into any ivy league schools (or something comparable) and tell of any competitions they DID NOT win, any tests they DID NOT ace, etc. Bascially, show the frazzled CC'ers that you are human, that you are not god. Thanks to all who respond!</p>
<p>P.S. I am one of these CC'ers who could use this.</p>
<p>once, i got a 89.6% in my honors physics class...for the semester...and my teacher wasn't rounding up. i go into panic mode. i kind of went hysterical. i started ranting to my teacher about how this was not fair at all and i should get an A- and it was only .4%. didn't work. then i started the guilt trip tactic...i told him that i was never going to get into a good college, thanks to him, and that he had ruined my future...he hesitated...then i almost started to cry and he said "ok, ok, i'll see what i can do, ask me after school." so i rush back after school, and he says "you're all set" with a sort of grim look on his face</p>
<p>i feel terrible for making him do that...just because i'm a girl and i can cry and make men feel bad.</p>
<p>anyways...2.83 first semester freshman year. 2.66 second semester. thought i wasn't going to go to college. haha. </p>
<p>sophomore year. cleaned up my act a little bit. had a 99% in geometry halfway through 2nd semester. i didn't do a single homework assignment for the second half of the semester, my grade dropped to an 89% and i got a B. that sucked balls.</p>
<p>Hmm. I graduated HS with something ridiculous like a 3.2. Mostly because I hit junior year and got really, really sick of everything having to do with high school and just stopped caring about the classes I didn't care about. And also let stupid hs social politics and drama have more weight in my life than homework. Wasn't my scene. </p>
<p>Yay for the CCC system being all welcoming to 16 yr olds.</p>
