<p>Hey, some people put more stock into horoscopes than others. I just happen to be one of those people. Besides, my horoscope could go either way, so we'll see.</p>
<p>my horiscope for tommorow</p>
<p>Overview</p>
<p>A few things are coming your way today that will really test how flexible you can be. But you can be prepared for anything if you expect nothing! So toss all of your preconceived notions out the window and just hang on to your hat. The folks around you are in need of some inspiration right now, so calm them by being calm yourself. People are looking to you for the answers now more than ever, so you can no longer afford to be the class clown. You've got to be the leader you know you can be.</p>
<p>How relevant is that to what we're all going through...
lol</p>
<p>Hahahahaha, be prepared for nothing!</p>
<p>When I stated that the East Coast mail and West Coast mail would be via air, I was speaking of first class USPS mail. I was also speaking of NYC to different locations. USPS does have some airplanes. Also, NYU to LA is a big mail route. You really never know but someone in my family worked for the USPS not long ago and knows how the mail runs. Typically, we get our mail one day later than every one else.</p>
<p>I just checked a couple of other websites for my horoscope and they're all so different... I wish I had gotten yours ihatesats2!</p>
<p>My horoscope would lead me to believe that I am getting rejected.So I am ignoring it!</p>

<p>i am not the one to brag, but my SATs were terrible... here's the break down: 600 READING, 550 MATH, 630 CR = 1780 w/ an 1150 combined.
GPA: 94.875 UW
Rank: 5/715
SAT II - math I - 640, math II - 650</p>
<p>activities, only a few.
some work experience.
gov school of international studies for NJ.
some awards and accolades here and there...
i applied to stern, and ONLY stern... and i got in.
honestly, it's not always about SATs when it comes to chancing someone.</p>
<p>for anyone that has a dream and reads this post next year, all i have to say is if you have faith... you can achieve anything.
don't allow someone who chances you to tell you that SATs will keep you from attaining your goals.
rank and GPA may be more important.
activities, too...
but i think conveying to the admissions board who you are thru your essay will win them over. </p>
