<p>yeah dude. I saw the 3.77 with like a 2200 or something person and I FREAKED OUT. i’m hoping it’s cause they screwed up their interview hella or something. Yeah…the last one..ummm. a LOT of ppl went to cornell, not just for hotel, but yeah. i’m thinking maybe it’s kinda a feeder school, not really? But their parents might work at cornell or something? Also, like I heard some people say that some high schools near certain colleges are considered kinda “feeder schools” Like Princeton High school or somethign liek that sends a lot of ppl to princeton too. And quite a few people went to cornell from ithaca hs. GAH. I’d be freaking out if I weren’t so tired these days. HAHAH.</p>
<p>ah stats.
I’m beyond worrying about my apps.
I just want the decision.

<p>im so nervous! ahhh 3 weeks!</p>
<p>i love this thread. we’re so cool.</p>
<p>we are such dorks. but…idk, something about putting 4 years of my life on a piece of paper and just hoping for the best FREAKS ME OUT. so it is good therapy to talk about it…even if millions of other kids are doing the same thing and not freaking out…we all HAVE a first choice and HAVE a passion and that makes rejection all the more frightening. or..not frightening…just depressing.</p>
<p>oohh dande! I just noticed that youre past halfway to senior member status! just 492 more posts!! I think I might make it to 1000 by summertime or so…</p>

<p>as you can tell most of my time is devoted to dance, so i dont really have time for much else( ie hotel experience)</p>
<p>im worried about lack of experience…</p>
<p>applying regular</p>
<p>should be some awesome rec letters and pretty good essays…</p>
<p>also have lived overseas and traveled extensively</p>
<p>what do you think?</p>
<p>are u kidding me cantstopdancin52?</p>
<p>what would she be kidding about?</p>
<p>well. i think her stats are quite impressive! i do find it funny that she says she spends most of her time dancing yet her grades are AMAZING. i am jealous.</p>
<p>i spend about 3 hours at crew everyday and 6 hours studying on a bad night and i cant pull that off. so i am impressed.</p>
<p>ya, theres a girl at my school who danced a lot as well (I think 3-4 hours a day she told me). However, during 10th grade, she told me about how she had to pick either dance or academics (she was thinking about majoring in dance), but she chose academics.</p>
<p>idk!
im really worried about my lack of actual experience!
my interview’s friday…</p>
