<p>I feeeel the same way as the OP because I’m going to a top 30 =)</p>
<p>^Any higher and I wouldn’t have accepted your CC Prom invitation. :P</p>
<p>Well Ohio sucks. I would not advise anyone to come here unless he/she lost a bet
I digress.</p>
<p>I would be pumped to go to Duke. If I get in Carnegie Mellon next spring, I will personally let every jerk in my school kiss my ass if they want</p>
<p>^Are there many Inuits in Anchorage or is Anchorage like all white? I heard that it is like all white (with a small black population, although that might be Fairbanks)</p>
<p>^^ I highly considered going to OSU next year. It’s a cool place.</p>
<p>True^
tsen</p>
<p>Can you please tell me the OP is not serious?</p>
<p>This is disgusting.</p>
<p>I wish he wasn’t…I really do, as soon I saw Duke, I chundered everywhere!</p>
<p>As soon as he mentioned Twilight, I CHUNDERED EVERYWHERE!</p>
<p>^^I hate Duke. But I hate that type of attitude more.</p>
<p>So what you’re saying is, is that as soon as you saw my post… you chundered EVERYWHERE???</p>
<p>^I hope he got out of Burma</p>
<p>be superior, screw those kids who were mean</p>
<p>He definitely didn’t.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Aw, poor guy.</p>
<p>what you should do is go to your High School reunion in like 10yrs and then rub it in their face of who you got a better job. Feeling better about getting into college is lame, anyone can get into any college. I seen idiots get into Ivy League. And nothings wrong with a CC cause their likely to be in less debt then you since your going to Duke.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I understand that you may feel a sense of satisfaction towards the fact that they are going to less prestigious colleges, but maybe they will be happier there than you will be at Duke. You should not measure your self-worth by the opinions of you peers; you will never be happy in life. College will be an opportune time for you to branch out and find people with similar interests such as yours. Please take advantage of it.</p>
<p>@john117 hahah this entire thread is about YOU hating on other people going to a school not ranked as high as duke.</p>
<p>^Incorrect. Its about people who gave me hell, not random “other people.”</p>
<p>My best friend (who goes to a neighboring school) is going to USC, which is lower than Duke. He’s a great awesome guy and I would never ever feel superior or anything like that with him.
My second best friend is going to Vanderbilt, which is lower than Duke. Yet I just had a sleepover at his house and had a great time with him.</p>
<p>Its not just any “other people.”</p>
<p>John, I can kinda relate, but not to the same degree. My school kinda separates itself. The top 10% are treated as if they’re the smartest people in the world and are noticed by everyone, which is actually really annoying. But I just compare myself with other people in the top 10% and feel not superior, but sad for them. This is because I actually completely underestimated the difficulty of these schools. Watching rejection after rejection and getting phone calls of people absolutely devastated was almost traumatic.</p>
<p>I’m going to Brown, one of 2 people accepted from my school and I felt happy and honored that I was accepted out of the 30 people who applied from my school. I’m also happy that I’m probably going to school with no one from my school. However, I don’t look down at people just because they’re not smart (unless they’re just so stupid that they just start saying stupid stuff that doesn’t make sense when they try and outsmart me. That is just ■■■■■■■■, though it is fun to knock them down when they’re being a jerk). </p>
<p>What I’m trying to say is that what you’re feeling is normal and, though I haven’t read the entire thread, most are probably saying you’re a bad person. In reality, everyone has a bit of a superiority complex. There are times when I do feel “better” than someone, but I never act pompous about my academic success. I feel like it’s okay to sometimes feel “better” than someone if you don’t make that affect how you interact with them. Sometimes you need that “I’m better” attitude for confidence and to do well. I think most people here know what I mean. You can tell who can apply to ivies and who can’t.</p>
