<p>Personally, I wasn't rejected...anywhere. But, anyways, I learned how to help people out. I gave constructive criticism with writing/SAT II sorta thing. I doubt that I made someone's rejection into an acceptance---but who knows?</p>
<p>My biggest lesson: Not to come on here too much...</p>
<p>I don't know.. I think people are too competitive. I don't think helping a person will hurt me in the long run. I'll just work harder to win the spot instead of not helping anyone...</p>
<p>A good bit of the advice given on CC isn’t very good, so I don’t see this as a problem. :]</p>
<p>Lol, looking at these timestamps have made me realize something.</p>
<p>I still think I’m in 2008.</p>
<p>i only help people or answer questions when i know it doesnt affect</p>
<p>meh. 10char</p>
<p>Knowing super competitive people exist only made me spurn the rat race and become only averagely competitive. For example, I’m only ranked #2 in my class, but I don’t really care.</p>

<p>Feel the same way. Hopefully the last part (which is not quoted here) doesn’t come true for me.</p>
<p>I’ve never thought about it that way. I help people here; I remind people on a private forum of the dates when SAT scores are back, when the Common App is coming out; I’m a top answerer in three of the sub sections of Education and Reference on Yahoo Answers, mostly answering questions about the SAT.</p>

<p>I don’t know about other people here, but every single piece of advice I give is cleverly calculated to actually damage the persons chances. I thought everyone was doing that :/</p>
<p>^ But few people listen to your advice anyways, so it’s okay.</p>
<p>Probably why I didn’t get into Harvard.</p>
<p>You should follow in my advice-giving footsteps.</p>
<p>I don’t give advice. I only give “advice”.</p>
<p>o.O I’ll now have to pay closer attention to the advice given.</p>
