<p>IMO Upenn destroys them both but between those two i would have 2 say.... true</p>
<p>A recommendation from the university president gets you automatically in anywhere no matter your stats (providing you meet the min. qualifications 4 college of course)</p>
<p>false :)</p>
<p>if your dad is the dean of admissions, you have an edge</p>
<p>true, now that would be awesome</p>
<p>CC is more addicting than nicotine</p>
<p>dono. never tried niconte before.</p>
<p>If your daddy is the dean of Yale, you ahve a great shot in H.</p>
<p>false, i think...kinda awkward, you see.</p>
<p>exeter will never accept a student that was rejected from andover, or vise versa</p>
<p>i don't know...I didn't apply to boarding school :p</p>
<p>tulane applications will go up this year</p>
<p>Hard to tell, but I say true- the hurricane has given Tulane quite a bit of publicity. </p>
<p>It's smart to have a blend of universities and LACs on your list.</p>
<p>I'm going to actually say false, but I guess it's personal. For me, I found out the LAC thing wasn't me, though I do like LAC-type unis :)</p>
<p>even cheap colleges can be expensive if you don't receive any type of fin. aid and your parents only have an average income</p>
<p>True.</p>
<p>Having 1500 hours of community service looks worse than 500?</p>
<p>false :)</p>
<p>don't get your hopes up if you're on the waitlist</p>
<p>True (but varies from school to school)</p>
<p>EC's are just as important as grades if not more important?</p>
<p>depends on school :D</p>
<p>adcoms read optional supplemental essays/recs</p>
<p>eh i miss this thread!</p>
<p>true. they have to.</p>
<p>Play your cards right and Princeton becomes your safety.</p>
<p>false, you'd never know what they are looking for each year. however if you are refering to cards as a sense of probability, yes you do have a chance of hitting the spot by playing the cards right. but the number of possible combination of things they are looking for is large enough to make the chance neglectable</p>
<p>applying too many schools is better than applying too few</p>
<p>TRUE! Better to have too many essays than no choices at the end of it!</p>
<p>Adcoms go for height-diversity, too....it's visually stimulating and cool!</p>
<p>False...they don't know until the interviews unless you mention having a height disorder, lol...</p>
<p>sending the wrong application to the wrong college will screw you over?</p>
<p>true. I don't think they'd even look at it.</p>
<p>(hey terrybhs06! Thanks for the Penn comment, it made my day. Really, we have a massive inferiority complex....yet still we rule!)</p>
<p>If you're qualified for the ivies, you're sure to get in to at least one.</p>
<p>False...</p>
<p>Applying to one Ivy is better than all?</p>
<p>I thought this thread was dead! :eek:</p>
<p>False. (I'm not really sure what you meant, though)</p>
<p>If you want schools with school spirit, look for colleges with good sports teams.</p>
<p>probably...</p>
<p>It will only act in a deleterious fashion if you disagree with an interviewer, even if it is done so diplomatically.</p>
