<p>Night, ricemanowl. Have fun at Yale (or wherever you're going).</p>
<p>gnight calidan!</p>
<p>And in conclusion, HotIvy walked away with a newfound respect for her fellow posters, and with a more open mind. No longer did she linger on the thought of getting into HYP, but she now was creating her own, unique college list. She also thought more highly of institutions she had previously thought of as "mediocre."</p>
<p>Looking back on it all, it was a therapeutic and healing experience; a nice dose of reality that helped her become more in sync with the rhythm of life. She no longer deplored people for their "stats," but rather for their viewpoints and honest opinions.</p>
<p>Tore went to sleep happily thinking of how his first semester at Brown will go, and ricemanowl finally found the worth adversary he had been looking for in HotIvy.</p>
<p>Calidan went to bed somewhat confused, but satisfied. "It all worked out in the end," he thought. He soon fell asleep, and dreamed of where he might end up in the fall.</p>
<p>And this thread, this infamous thread, was never to be posted on or spoken of again...</p>
<p>Anyone who presumes that an Ivy (Cornell) is their saftey is sadly midguided. I have known several such students over the years and they applied to one state school as a back-up and guess where they ended up? Pure stats doesn't get you in, it helps but community service, well rounded EC's and a good attitude will be the deciding factor. The Ivys have more people with good stats than you can count. You really need to work on your attitude...</p>
<p>By the way, I recruit new employess including physicians and I can tell you that where they went to college is the LAST thing I/we look at!</p>
<p>oh dear, more postings, haha. same old, same old...</p>
<p>Without better people skills "hotivy" whatever isn't going to do well in any profession....regardless of where her diploma is issued.</p>
<p>I don't think hotivy was a real person. She was obviously a flame.</p>
<p>Wow, I only read the first page of that thread, but people like the OP actually need to die. And I say that with malice and no sympathy.</p>
<p>Now please, most everything worth saying has already been said on this thread. Let's just let this post slip away- it's for the best. :)</p>
<p>BUMP.........this thread entertained me for 30 minutes during my most boring class in school. Where are you HotIvy???</p>
<p>Augh- more posts.</p>
<p>Oh well, I guess this thread is morbidly entertaining. :)</p>
<p>haha it is calidan. Where is hotivy anyways? :)</p>
<p>I don't know... maybe she imploded. I wouldn't be surprised.</p>
<p>hello Calidan. wow, you're on cc very frequently! I forget, where are you planning on going to school? best of luck, anyways</p>
<p>LOL yes I do frequent CC quite often. It's more of an addiction, truthfully. :p</p>
<p>I'm not sure where I'm going to college yet (gotta wait for RD decisions), but I got into Georgetown EA.</p>
<p>(PS- wow. 18 pages!)</p>
<p>oh......my........god. That......was......so........funny.</p>
<p>Tore, congrats on Brown! I have to agree that Provi is a better place to live than New Haven.
Calidan, if both of us end up at Dartmouth, or G-town...we'll have to meet up sometime, because you are just TOO funny. (aside: I just tried typing in "cali" and realized your ID must stand for Cali Dan...as in, dan from cali. WOW that took a long time.) Both of you, actually, were laudably mature and collected, and for that I bow down to you. FastLane, Ashveer and a few others got in a few one-liners I laughed at though.
Hot Ivy, I'm truly sorry about everything, and the fact that I laughed at this thread. Take Dan's advice - choose schools for fit, not for prestige. And you might not want to wish cancer on people. What if Ashveer had lost a relative to cancer or something? and lol who's who...wow.</p>
<p>This thread invoked memories of the good old days with the ED Penn pack...if the threads circa December 1st are still up on the Penn board, and you guys found hotivy as entertaining and sad as I did, you will LOVE a little thing I like to call SuperAzn254.</p>
<p>Super: "Penn accepted 52 kids from my school last year!"
Someone else: "That's nice, thanks for bragging"
Other person: "He's not bragging, he's just stating a fact"
Super: "No, i AM bragging!"
Yet another person: "Super, what are your stats? What school do you go to?"
Super: "I have a 1080 SAT, but I'm still going to get into Penn."</p>
<p>That said...hotivy, if you are a real person, i wish you luck! because honestly, if you presented the same attitude in your essays as you did here - this contempt for anyone and everyone - you'll need a lot of it. </p>
<p>Having read this, I really miss the cozy, no-drama Dartmouth thread, and am sorry that hotivy contaminated it lol.</p>
<p>What is up with that sn? The cheer boards are way over there.....
Sorry :-) couldn't resist...my d, also a varsity cheerleader, has a sn with 'wanna' in it that she uses when conversing with her cheer buddies. </p>
<p>Overall rankings are really meaningless...you need to focus on the course of study when considering whether a school has 'prestige'. For instance, Rice's undergraduate architecture program is ranked third in the nation behind only Cornell (another fine university you have so harshly maligned) and University of Cincinnati (not even IVY....horrors!). D plans to apply to Harvard, Stanford (legacy issues) and Rice...but Rice is her very first choice. There are many, many kids who choose Rice over Ivys every day!</p>
<p>Btw, you should visit the Rice board. You'll see your stats are actually pretty ho-hum. And please, please do not list Who's Who as an achievement on your college application unless you want to give the admissions counselors a good chuckle.</p>
<p>Now get back out there and play nice. Silly girl.</p>
<p>hahaha this thread is sooooo entertaining. i love the sum up calidan, it was like the end to an entertaining novel...</p>
<p>I loved this thread. Bravo HoTIvYLeAgUeChIcK (spelling, did I capitalise the right letters?), I got into Who's Who and I go to a small public school in north dakota that no one has heard of except for the people within a 20 mile radius with no Ivy League graduates so um.... Who's Who isn't that prestigous.</p>
