<p>No, she used to go to the same public school with me in Oregon for seven before she moved halfway through high school. Please, chocoholic, keep your insults in check if you don't know for sure. Why would I lie about that online? She wasn't being completely forthcoming about her stats...but she is really smart. Kind of neurotic too.</p>
<p>No, she used to go to the same public school with me in Oregon for seven years before she moved halfway through high school. Please, chocoholic, keep your insults in check if you don't know for sure. Why would I lie about that online? She wasn't being completely forthcoming about her stats...but she is really smart. Kind of neurotic too. And furthermore, choco, I'm going to Harvard, where did you find I'm still in a public school in Oregon?</p>
<p>Are you sure your friend is neurotic? By saying your friend is neurotic, your saying that your friend is psychotic. Furthermore, she claims that she has a "social life most people dream of". I find it hard to belive someone with such a psychosis can have an avid social network. Damn. I just found this girl so much more interesting ever since you brought up her psychosis. </p>
<p>You just cleared up everything. BTW, I still find it ironic that she goes to RICE. She could have gone to schools like berkeley or UCLA easily. Why would she pick rice over those schools?</p>
<p>It's a figure of speech. Would you prefer if I just said she's a bit eccentric?</p>

<p>amy: Psychosis and neurosis are totally different from eccentric behavior. A neurotic person maybe the quietest person in the world but still ****ed up in the head. So using neurotic instead of eccentric - even for uses of sarcasm - wouldn't make any sense. </p>
<p>If your going to use an exaggarated, sarcastic version of eccentric, I'd prefer you use the words oddball, screwball, weirdo and indicate a smiley face :) beside it so we know you're being sarcastic. </p>
<p>With this girl, I wouldn't be surprised if she was psychotic. I mean the way she snaps back at people (She even told one person that she was hopeful of him getting cancer). That's why I thought you were serious.
You still haven't commented on my last statement. Why would ivygirl go to Rice if her stats make her a shoe in for berkeley (especially if she's a state resident of cali) and UCLA? It doesn't make any sense.</p>
<p>Eternity, this was a joke. If she was serious, she wouldn't post "What are my chances at Ivies except Cornell, cuz it's the worst Ivy (in fact it's so bad that it shouldn't even be called an ivy)" in the Cornell forum. Think about it.</p>
<p>^^Yeah but Amy just confirmed that most of ivygirl's stats are accurate. She gives a lot more credibility to the OP than was previously existant. </p>
<p>dooit: Your last statement in your previous post can start a flame war. Try not to criticize specific schools.</p>
<p>yea eternity, calm the hell down. people use neurotic all the time in the same context as eccentric or what not. It does not necessarily mean psychotic, although i agree with u that ivychick probably was psychotic.If Amy really is friends with her, she is crazy, because she Ivychick was an arrogant, Biotch. (she told soemone she wished they'd get cancer!) and Eternity, lighten up a little.</p>
<p>haha, thanks GreenDay. Don't worry, ivychick isn't as arrogant in real life. Of course she didn't really mean the stuff about the cancer. She's cool, and just off-the-wall.</p>
<p>eternity, reread my post completely. COMPLETELY. I think you missed the whole point of it.</p>
<p>Alright I'm chill.</p>
<p>And yes I have reread your post COMPLETELY.</p>
<p>I understand that your trying to say that ivygirl was joking around when she was wondering about her chances at Ivy.</p>
<p>But the fact of the matter is, w/ those stats, she had a great shot at places like Dartmouth, Brown, and Penn. That's why I still want to know what the hell she's doing at Rice when she could have and probably would have gotten in to the other schools. It also appeared she was flaming many other non-ivy institutions and it wasn't very friendly and in a joking manner. It appears she abhored Rice so much and yet she went there in the end. It doesn't make any sense. Amy keeps walking around this and refuses to answer this fishy aspect.</p>
<p>P.S. - I noticed how you criticized Dartmouth in one your earlier threads because it had such a poor graduate ranking for its engineering program. Now, here you are bashing Cornell saying it shouldn't even be ivy league because its so bad. Did it ever occur to you Cornell has one of the best grad. engineering and undergrad. engineering programs in the country? Maybe you should take that into account before saying anything else.</p>
<p>um eternity u r so wrong. first, she probably didnt get into top colleges like harvard because they saw how arrogant and pompous and cocky she was. Plus no one is a shoe-in it's really not hard to believe she didnt get into any of those schools. And dooit was joking about cornell because hotivychick said that cornell was her "safety" and it was the "worst ivy." Remember?</p>
<p>Oh okay got it. I didn't really see the joke. Dooit no offense taken or given. Forget the dartmouth thing.....I know you respect all the schools. </p>
<p>Sorry for the misunderstanding.</p>
<p>I understand that the ivy league schools aren't a shoe in. But I would have still thought that she could have made it into Cornell or Brown with those stats....or at least Cal Berkeley and UCLA. It appears she had to go to Rice in the end......the schools she abhored...</p>
<p>Ok there is not need to fight...and btw hOtIvYlEaGuEwAnNaBecHiCk, i hands-down agree that you have almost perfect stats, but so do the rest of the Ivy-League applicants (or at least 70% of them). Your admission rides more on your essays, interview, recs, and how you present your EC's. Also, on the note of EC's, yours are kinda average for Ivy's since a lot of the candidates have leadership, awards, and sports. What you really need is something that is a hook (face it even with your scores you need one) and that will only come from passionate work in a concentrated field of study. Your chances look great, but i really recommend that you keep at least a few safties (almost any non-Ivy school is for you).</p>
<p>On the note that top jobs are kept for Ivy graduates-that is not true. Usually it is only in the field of Law that this happens, and most law students need to build their prestege through winning cases (or whatever). Someone that consistently wins from lets say Rice is far more able today to get a job than some Harvard law grad that fails to perform in court. Same thing goes for other jobs such as business, engineering, medicine, etc. it all depends on your interview, and how well you do your job. </p>
<p>Hope this helps (ease some tension as well)</p>
<p>eternity, to answer your question, she did get into UCLA and Berkeley, and a couple, not all, of the Ivies she applied to. However, Rice happened to give her the most scholarships, and she decided to go there in the end after much contemplation.</p>
<p>I figured ivy-girl to be one of those snoppy-preppy-rich-girls.....It doesn't seem like she'd be one of those people in need of financial aid.</p>
<p>amypianist--which ivies did she get into? I bet not Harvard, Yale or Princeton, which is why she is going to go to Rice....poor sap.</p>
<p>She's Asian though? Typical. (This is coming from a half-asian so it's all cool.) </p>
<p>It seems many asians in California went to Harker or something or another preparatory school(I'm not from California usually...)</p>
<p>Why the hell was "ivywannabe" so full of it though? Many of my peers from high school ended up in Ivies, Cal-tech, etc, and I attended a regular public high school outside of California. </p>
<p>Just goes to show--public school kids ROCK and not even the best private high schools can compete with the innate intelligence of public high school students who are middle-class. </p>
<p>Ivy was probably an internet troll who lied about her statistics, especially since she is supposedly going to attend Rice yet kept dissing it.</p>
<p>Ok, I just read more of this long thread..and IvyWannaBe wants to be a psychology major?</p>
<p>No offense, but that's unemployable and useless.</p>
<p>Well, pure sciences are all useless unless you persue grad studies. </p>
<p>Unless ofcourse, the students choose to chase investment-banking but i-banks only recruit from top schools.</p>
<p>I know amypianist (and actually went out with her for a while - long story) and she is who she says she is! Also, I was in several classes in common with her and Hotivy-whatever-the-rest-of-her-horrendously-long-name-is. All of that trolling matches up with her warped sense of humor, and she did always keep things like this going just a bit longer than they should. And, yes, she is going to Rice, mostly because of a more generous scholarship package.</p>
