<p>Holy jumpin' jesus on a pogo stick. that's amazing.</p>

<p>i probably would've included more threads than this, but that's an amazing start. This thread MUST be pinned to the top of this forum.</p>

<p>Everyone please go PM a moderator, like scipio or roger_dooley, to ask for that.</p>

<p>GREAT work skraylor.</p>

<p>i know what you mean, i felt it was kind of sparse too. however, as i went thru most of the threads i tried to only post ones with at least 3 responses by current students and/or alum that i felt were helpful. i was kind of surprised by how few actually met this requirement....but oh well, maybe i was being too harsh in my judgments....still took me like 2 hours to wade thru all those posts tho :P</p>

<p>If anyone wants to add good threads, by all means Denz, add them.</p>

<p>This is an awesome awesome contribution and I agree it should be sticky icky.</p>

<p>This one just popped up on the front page again so i suppose it should go here since it often shows itself:</p>

<p>^^ Good link. It was much needed. Now hopefully people will click on it in the future.</p>

18

<p>Yeah. Coming here to find out about an application process is like going to a car insurance company to test drive that shiny new Prius.</p>

<p>I just bought a shiny new Prius! I'm in love with the thing. And like you said, my insurance company is not. ='(</p>

<p>Okay total add moment right there. If I actually believed in that disease i'd say i have it. Does that make any sense?</p>
