2

<p>u got good chances at UC's.</p>

<p>you might have good chances at privates if your portfolio is good</p>

3

<p>MEDIOCRE?</p>

<p>I hate overachievers. :p</p>

4

<p>aha shutup. at least i dont have a 4.5. or something.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, but you're far from mediocre. Don't be so hard on yourself.</p>

6

<p>thanks. you're kind. =]</p>

7

<p>UCLAri, what are my chances of getting into MIT for EA?</p>

8

<p>Umm... I dunno. PM me your stats and I can maybe give you some sort of idea.</p>

<p>my stats are here:</p>

<p>and can u tell me my chances for columbia RD? i heard columbia is the easiest ivy to get into</p>

10

<p>lol. my friend jong got into mit. sameish stats as you. luck. squash.</p>

11

<p>wats squash?</p>

<p>wat stats did he have?</p>

12

<p>oops. but uclari? even if i'm far from mediocre, have you any idea what my chances for the reachy privates are? thank you most.</p>

13

<p>if ur going for art, i think ur stats are high enough. its the portfolio that matters i think</p>

14

<p>For art, you're a superstar test score and GPA wise.</p>

<p>But yeah, as namkim and others have said, how's the portfolio? Is it hot, or just warm?</p>

15

<p>uh. supposedly i've got a lot of potential, but i have a couple of good pieces and some not so good pieces. so thats what my focus is gonna be for the next month or so. lukewarm over a stove though, i guess? </p>

<p>i like baking cookies and cupcakes btw. <em>virtual baked goods for you two</em></p>

<p>what about architecture? that ones a little more scholarly isnt it? though most school's are gonna ask for a portfolio too.</p>

16

<p>oh btw, as for jong at mit, i was never too sure about his test scores, but you have pretty much cream of the crop ones. he has good grades. i think what got him in though was siemens westinghouse. same for my other korean friend at harvard. <em>grumble</em></p>

17

<p>arg! i dont thave ec's or awards like that.</p>

<p>im also applying to harvard. i know i have no chance though. but maybe with luck, they might accept me</p>

18

<p>cheemonkey,</p>

<p>If your portfolio is halfway decent, I'd say you have a good chance at any of the schools. Unfortunately, I'm not really that well-versed in art admissions. Sorry!</p>

19

<p>well it looks like you actually do have some good ec's. too bad everyone and their mother gets into cosmos. ok just kidding. hmm. i'm sure you've got a shot, not that i would know.there's a lot of sciencey goodness though. other than siemens, mit boy was a comp nerd, harvard recognized leadershipwise and academically at a national level. arg. again.</p>

20

<p>man, its like impossible for me to get recognition at a natinoal level.</p>

<p>stupid harvard!</p>
