Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>^^ Lol technically neither does Dartmouth or Cornell. However, want to know a secret? The athletic people all apply early decision per their coaches wishes and a lot of them get in (the “recruited ones”). This is the reason for the difference in acceptance rate at the previously mentioned institutions. In actuality, for normal students the acceptance rate applying ED is not much higher than Regular Decision.</p>

<p>This isn’t speculation… the Dartmouth admissions lady told me this. They’re surprisingly honest over in Hanover.</p>

<p>I’m going back to school after a year off. I’m super-excited but kind of scared I’ll have no friends.</p>

<p>Also, I’m going to start going to the gym, because I’ve been eating 1500 calories/day and I’m not losing weight.</p>

23

<p>I’m wishing I hadn’t been homeschooled for my entire life and trying to seem calm so my mom doesn’t completely lose it. I have no friends. I know things would have been better if I had gone to a normal high school. However, I am confident in my ability to get myself where I want to go in life, so these colleges can do what they like to me. I’ll show them in the end.</p>

24

<p>I highly doubt that the girl I’m enamored with doesn’t love me back. So I;m slightly down.</p>

<p>But school starts tomorrow, and I’m bright and ready.</p>

25

<p>^ why are you down if it’s likely she loves you back?</p>

26

<p>I typed that wrong. I meant to say I highly doubt that the girl I love loves me back. So I’m slightly down.</p>

27

<p>Yeah it sucks… I’m in the same situation here…Only I like a guy not a girl.</p>

28

<p>my life’s going great at the moment. i probably won’t be able to say that when school starts and i have homework, practices, and no free time haha.</p>

29

<p>Blahhh. Am I getting sick or am I just acting like a whiny brat to myself about minor allergies and physical coincidences?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Perhaps not, but a recommendation from an athletic coach certainly goes a long way. The way he described it, his recommendation would get my application “flagged”. Anything helps, especially with selective schools like MIT.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about your sickness :(. What are some of your goals for the season?</p>

31

<p>well then… I’m going to submit my soccer stuff to their coach.</p>

32

<p>my life is average.</p>

33

<p>@MIT: do you play soccer?? cool!! I’m a huuuuge soccer fan.</p>

34

<p>Yeah I play soccer. Not at my school though, in a league.</p>

<p>I love it.</p>

35

<p>Nice! Amateurs? Professional?</p>

<p>I wish I could play it well. I kinda suck, at least for brazilian standards. Doesn’t keep me from having some fun with it though =D</p>

36

<p>right now… local league to get back in shape. Going travel this spring.</p>

37

<p>awesome. just moved in and i LOVE the people in my dorm. this year’s gonna be great. i can feel it.</p>

38

<p>My life is great. I go back to school Saturday and I feel like this is going to be a great year – I really like my roommate and am excited for all of my classes and can’t wait to see my friends. And I’m almost done packing, so this will be the first time ever that I’m not up all night before I go back to school packing last minute (well, I will probably still do that, but whatever).</p>

39

<p>Stuck between choosing 2 girls, life’s hard.</p>

40

<p>^ WOW
from “she doesn’t love me back” to “I have to choose between two babes” haha, cool</p>

<p>Why can’t you have both?</p>
