<p>Yet another example of lame people not having the cajones to admit that they got pwned.</p>
<p>the conclusion from this thread is that op wants to be the smartest asian at her school and is mad that her friend is applying to a great school and now hates her and wishes her all the worst luck so that she gets rejected .... because "SHE LIED ABOUT HER SAT SCORES AND COLLEGE DECISION, what a terrible person "...sum it up about right?</p>
<p>haha , im just messin, but i hope you realize how stupid this thread is</p>
<p>you like saying the word cajones a lot UCLAri</p>
<p>it's a sweet word</p>
<p>what's wrong with saying "balls"?</p>
<p>a little change is nice once in a while, lol, no way I'm debating variants on the word balls, no effin way.</p>
<p>fine by me</p>
<p>I could say wang. I do like wang. Well, not in that way.</p>
<p>go to sleep UCLAri, you are always in here</p>
<p>I live in a way different time zone, so when it's late for you, it's afternoon for me.</p>
<p>good night then</p>
<p>Nighty night.</p>
<p>Let me tell you, its not uncommon for an Asian person to lie to you about something like that. Its just the way some people are. I am Asian myself and I know how some of my friends are. They are extremely competitive and will always put academics first. That Chinese person probably didn't want you to think she was any competition so she could do well without any fear of a challenge from anyone else.</p>
<p>When I got accepted to Cornell I didn't expect to tell ANY of my Chinese friends/family friends about my acceptance. Why? Because NONE of them would be truly happy for me. Sure some adults would probably congratulate me if I told them, or would congratulate me if they were talking to my parents simply out of politeness. But in reality, they are thinking in the back of their minds about how they need their kids to do just as well now, and the kids are probably feeling the same pressure. I thought that maybe by telling a close Chinese friend about my acceptance I would get some response of true happiness or something to that extent. But I didn't even get a congratulations...literally. </p>
<p>So don't take it personally when someone lies or does that kind of crap. Just remember that some people are more genuine than others, and some people will always be jealous of you or just consider you as competition no matter how close you are.</p>
<p>Forget the haters.</p>
<p>I didnt picture you as asian drinkingmilkalldaylong... its really funny how I picture different looks for the CC people.</p>
<p>Yeah, probably because milk is white ;)</p>
<p>I'm going to have to agree with Aj3ntEx on this one. Asian people are EXTREMELY competitive and will do things like this. Heck, I'm sure plenty of competitive non-Asians do this too.</p>
<p>My friends did all congratulate me on my acceptance though. But now they all have this sudden interest in applying to Cornell just because I got in. I guess the thoughts going through their heads are, "well since she got in, I probably can too."</p>
<p>But please don't leave thinking that all Asians are like that. I was real happy for everyone in my school who got in ED and so were they for me. I did a lot of hugging and patting on the back last week :)</p>
<p>^..me too ^-^...congratulated lots of ppl (my friend got into harvard!! and she didn't tell anyone where she was applying b/c she was afraid of getting rejected -as opposed to me, who told everyone where i was applying and then did get rejected -_-;; -) </p>
<p>drinkingmilkalldaylong.
it's ok. if you think about it, we're all competing against each other, and one asian person with better stats than you had expected isn't really going to make or break your acceptance into college -_-</p>
<p>I'm Southeast Asian so this kind of hits home, especially Aj3ntEx's comments. I've known plenty of Asians who are not competitive. But for every one of those there's like two Asians who stab you in the back (never from the front). And I can absolutely relate to the comments about the parents and students never really being happy for you. Seriously, I've just cut it off with many of my Asian friends simply because there's not really a friendship there...only competition. Many of my white friends dislike the Asians at my school for the same reasons I do...many of them have gone so far as to hope that the Asian kids fail in their college search (harsh, I know). The Asians at my school get really good test scores but lack in the EC side and then think they're all that and a bag of gummy bears. In the end, though they'll probably regret the way they behaved in high school and the reasons they did so (aka parents). Really, the parents just want to brag and show-off their kids as trophies...but this is not anything new.</p>
<p>Drinkingmilkalldaylong, i think ur being VERY VERY LAME!!!! So what if she got thru UPenn!!! Man, i got thru Cornell and none of my friends got thru their first choice schools...that doesn't mean they're gonna KILL me!!! We're still best pals... I think u're priority is ur life not hers.</p>
