<p>i know its ****ing off and all of my waitlist unis are like that
it really sucks doing this waiting thing again i mean first from jan to apr
and now to july1</p>
<p>Yeah, I hate this anticipation, as well as planning all of my alternatives :/</p>
<p>If you don't get off waitlist, what alternate option do you have, Enfrocer?</p>
<p>bucknell university (maybe LUMS, its a local university) wat abt u?</p>
<p>For me, nothing, except for my last option, is for sure yet - which is a college in my hometown.</p>
<p>Any way I turned it, so much waiting for me, lol.</p>
<p>some of you guys honestly are haters...i mean honestly.
i just live my life man for real..why are some of you guys hanging on my every word and even going so far as to look up my background by my previous posts.
JEEZ get a life man. some of you guys should be studying ;P</p>
<p>this thread should be deleted. my original question was not even half-way answered.</p>
<p>Your question was answered in posts #2, #4, and #5.</p>
<p>umm
she asked for waitlisted people</p>
<p>She asked if any other waitlisted students had gotten a phone call (or e-mail) on Friday. I gave her the answer. Yes...a few.</p>
<p>"Decision: ACCEPTED
....
Subjective:
* Essays: hehe i didn't even write the essays!!!! My mom wrote them and then sent them out!!!! SHE IS MEAN. it was totally uncalled for."</p>

<li><p>Myronnie, I would count you as lucky if no one took the initiative to forward some of your previous posts to Williams' Admissions Office. By the way you describe yourself, your state residency and your ECs, assuming any of what you said is valid, they could figure out who you are. Why do people 'hang on to your everyword', you wonder? Well, consider that you have openly admitted to having submitted fraudulent essays and by extension, having lied on the Common Application. Considering how many applicants with more ECs, higher scores and ORIGINAL essays applied we've seen and known deferred/wait-listed/rejected, I would say that the anger of fellow CC viewers is well-justified. If you don't have enough principles to feel uncomfortable with the fact that you purportedly earned admission to such a school as Williams on false pretenses, your value system (or lack thereof) will come back to haunt you later in life, Williams education or no.</p></li>
<li><p>In no way was ID attacking you, stepping out of his bounds or going off-topic when he suggested you quietly slip an email to Swat admission. Besides the fact that you don't DESERVE to be admitted to any of these schools, you certainly should not be holding a spot you have no intention of taking. </p></li>
<li><p>You call us 'haters' and tell us we have no lives, however we haven't falsified our applications; who's really the lame one here?... Were you even admitted to any of these schools; your penchant for duplicity makes it hard to believe?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>dude
you werent even apply to swat
and like AE said, what kind of school will just go on a public forum and evaluate a applicant like that. That is just stupid.</p>
<p>Duckedtape: As I already mentioned, Swarthmore has done something along those lines in the past. I have no idea the exact circumstances, and maybe the other College Confidential poster was different ... but this seems pretty egregious to me. And the person I heard this from wasn't an anonymous poster on this site.</p>
<p>And as I've already said, I'm a Swarthmore student. I'm a junior (you know, one of those people who should start hating the school, right?). </p>
<p>Froghorn is right on the money here. I'm stunned that you and AE don't seem to have any kin of indignation that an applicant to Swarthmore OPENLY admitted on a PUBLIC forum that she <em>didn't</em><em>write</em><em>her</em><em>essays</em>. What the heck is wrong with you that this admission doesn't seem like a serious issue?</p>
<p>I'm praying right now that Admissions has seen this thread and seriously reconsidered even possibly offering her one of the VERY few slots that are still remaining on the wait list—there are probably 30-40 at MOST (depending on how Harvard's enormous wait list screws things up) and there are ~400 people on the wait list. From what Myronnie has posted, it seems pretty evident that she should not be anywhere close to the top of that list.</p>
<p>Good lord.</p>
<p>Miles Skorpen, Swarthmore '09</p>
<p>If a Swarthmore student did that, he or she would be in front of the CJC pleading to stay in school. At a minimum, the course with the plagiarized paper would be no credit.</p>
<p>Froghorn brings up a good point that I hadn't thought of. Can you imagine how tempting it must be to students who just got rejected from Williams to forward that stuff to Dick Nesbitt, the Dean of Admissions there?</p>

<p>Here's the problem: you're assuming myronnie is who she says she is and not someone else spoofing her. You're also assuming she's being truthful here. No responsible admissions officer could possibly justify basing decisions off of anything read here, because the veracity of everything here is questionable. If the things posted here could somehow be verified, that's a different matter, but simply going by what's written in the posts would be quite irresponsible.</p>
<p>
You mean, if the student got caught. Indiscretions occur all the time at Swarthmore. I even had someone confide in me that he cheated on an honors exam.</p>
<p>I think I amply covered the possibility that Myronnie is not who she says she is when I asked if she was "even admitted to any of these schools". I hope she isn't; the thought of such academic dishonesty is nauseating. </p>
<p>A.E, while cheating on an exam is nothing to be proud of, cheating on an application is different. When a person falsifies his/her application and is admitted, he/she is taking the spot of another applicant who took the time to carefully craft his/her bid for admission. I'm not sure why, if you care about academic integrity at all, the possibility that Myronnie isn't kidding does not disturb you.</p>
<p>ID and Arador, I couldn't agree more. If this is true, really, all it would take is an email to Williams admissions with a link. A.E., while most admissions officers wouldn't take an internet posting as the final word, few would look past an identified post containing claims of academic dishonesty. [Insert name of top LAC] has more than enough qualified students whom they have accepted, waitlisted and rejected that to rescind the application of a person who publicly brags about not having written her own would not be a cause for much thought. We are responsible for our actions and that includes what we post online; even if one posts something jokingly, the sequelae of that which is posted in a public forum are consequences the poster must accept and should have considered before posting.</p>
<p>Duckedtape, how do you know where I did or did not apply, where I was or was not accepted and why does it matter? This is a public forum; anyone can comment.</p>
<p>
OK, detective. I guess I didn't stop and think that asking someone on the internet "are you who you say you are" is completely rock solid.</p>
<p>The cattiness on the Swat board is really gratuitous.</p>
<p>Daily Jolt posters-in-training?</p>
<p>froghorn, i know!! </p>
<p>i bet it turns some people off too. i decided not to apply to swat before finding CC, but after coming here and reading a whole lot of posts on this forum, i was sure i made the right decision. </p>
<p>for the record, i agree with ID and his entourage.</p>
<p>Woohoo, same story; I realized that the tenor of the Bi-Co fit me better; see you there next year!</p>
<p>LAC- No interest in the Jolt, however some of my fellow posters would make fine contributors.</p>
<p>since it is a "public forum", there is a search button to show all of your previous posts. I hear all of these what if's. Give me some concrete evidence. Not its a "public forum".</p>
