<p>you know what helps the stress? close the door to your room, turn on some really bad dance tunes, and boogie down. :D you burn calories (not implying you need to of course!) and relieve stress. AND you dont have to worry about looking stupid in front of anyone!</p>
<p>i live in long island, new york and i didnt get an interview from Dartmouth. Will that affect my chances?</p>
<p>Hah, I didn't know Johns Hopkins CTY recognition would be considered by colleges. I almost forgot about those two years.</p>
<p>How old were you when you got the Johns Hopkins CTY recognition? My son got it in like sixth and seventh grades so he didn't mention it on his apps.</p>
<p>I saw your BU thread, and random question: between an Ivy and a combined program, which would you pick?</p>
<p>Yeah, the idea of JH CTY is that it's for high-achieving MS-ers, so it's only offered to sixth & seventh graders (I think). And colleges only want HS achievements, so I don't see why it'd be relevant here..</p>
<p>it is a hard decision that i hope i will have to make ;-)</p>
<p>While you have achieved a lot, but I just hope your awards list on your application wasn't as redundant as it is here.</p>

<p>For example, those two things are for the same exact thing.</p>
<p>I agree with Xanatos post. However, I think that Columbia or Cornell are more within reach to you than Dartmouth. U of C is a great school and congrats on your acceptance! The rest is just like Xanatos said....pure crapshoot! The more we analyze it, the more frustrated and depressed we become...</p>
<p>You'll know in a few days hun. Good luck!!!</p>
