<p>Day after day, since I began researching the transfer process, I have caroused this site looking for info on admissions. I have looked for indicators of whether or not I would get in, trying to tell my future and only managing to stress myself out. After hearing how my ec's are lacking and how going to a 3rd tier state school may hinder my chances, after reading posts from people who idol worship the ivey league, I wish for nothing more than my letter of acceptance or rejection. I am so sick of this website. It is a cesspool of stress, of high school seniors already planning their transfers. Everyone just relax, take a look around you, and realize how lucky you are to be able to even contemplate transferring schools. And please, pledge with me right now to never log on to this dreadful website after you recieve your letters and whatever news that they bring.</p>
<p>Yes, this website is a bit masturbatory, but so what? No one's making you log on. I've found CC to be pretty helpful, particularly the transfer forum.</p>
<p>I find this website incredibly helpful...and I will return to CC to reciprocate the help I've gotten after the transfer process is over....</p>
<p>this post is absolutely meaningless. why would u bother posting this? if u hate the site log off and go do something productive</p>
<p>Masturbatory, I Like That Word.</p>

<p>Well. You're certainly making it a better place, aren't you? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>1) You stressing yourself out....the blame is on you. Take some responsibility instead of blaming a neutral resource. You don't have to come to the site, you don't have to click on links that annoy you. You choose this. This site isn't porn; there's no compulsion to browse it.</p>
<p>2) A cesspool of high school seniors planning ahead...So? If you (and I and every other transfer out there really) had done it earlier, you may not even have had to deal with the stress of transfer. I applaud their initiative.</p>
<p>3) "Everyone just relax, take a look around you, and realize how lucky you are to be able to even contemplate transferring schools......" </p>
<p>Just because you're biting into a pillow for 23 hours a day doesn't mean that others aren't enjoying their lives. And how lucky we are to be able to contemplate transfer? The hell? Hey, I'm lucky to have socks to put on in the morning...doesn't mean they require a moment of silence every day.</p>
<p>And no, I won't pledge with you. Don't be so childish. This isn't a drug, it's a resource that some of us enjoy having. Bottom line: You want to leave...Leave. No one cares.</p>
<p>i'm just saying, a huge aspect of my victory celebration will involve never needing this site again. Also, this thread is for people with a similar opinion. I'm not making an argument, there's no reason to debate me. I am sick of this website. If you aren't, that's fine, why argue?</p>
<p>eh it's love/hate. I found a lot of useful information on this site, yet a lot of people on here really freak me out with their excessive CHANCE MEE!! posts. My parents were never involved in my life as much as some of the other parents on here, and if it weren't for them or their kid's Type A+++ personalities I would have never known anything about the college application process. And I probably won't ever log onto this site after I get my letters, but at least it gave us something to do while we waited.</p>
<p>You technically don't need it now.</p>
<p>I'm guessing most colleges are past their deadline, and you're just waiting for the decisions at this point......There's really no need for the site any more if it hurts you so.</p>
<p>there's no need...just compulsion. maybe i'll continue to log on and read the posts of high school seniors frantically planning their transfer plans to Yale after getting accepted at Harvard...</p>
<p>Haha. I kind of agree with the OP. I won't be logging on to this site anymore if I'm lucky to be granted admission. It's a little disconcerting to see countless 'Chances' posts asking whether to retake a freakin' 2300+, with demi-god-like ECs, and innumerable prestigious awards. However, I'll be migrating to another forum that's focused more on my prospective profession, IB, after CC.</p>
<p>For those interested in I-banking, I'm sure you know what site I'm talking about because I've seen some people from CC on that site. With the very same username, mind you (How discreet:rolleyes:.)</p>
<p>if u find this site useless or it makes u sick then dont start a stupid thread like this. simple.</p>
<p>everyone shut up and leave him alone.</p>
<p>i love you jordan. you are right. all these people are crackheads.</p>
<p>I actually agree with this post a lot. I keep getting IMed from people who stress out and I'm just like calm down. People get all worked up and they give up on school work after one rejection or waitlist. People shouldn't put their entire lives into transfer admissions or getting into one school because they will drive themselves crazy. They are setting themselves up for disappointment. I'm just saying calm down.</p>
<p>it is bad when I feel as though my 3.67 GPA (after 63 credits of college) is mediocre at best. I think people should shoot for the best, but be grounded at the same time. this site is full of "flyers".</p>
<p>yea, i kinda feel that jordans a bit right. but thats not gonna stop me from logging in, at least until i hear from my school</p>
<p>to the idiot who started this thread: I am a senior in h.s. who didn't do to well in h.s. and I want to do really well in college to go to a competitive university so thats why im planning from now. Maybe if you did the same, your life wouldn't suck so much.</p>
<p>You are right. I find it dumb that some people rely on some ghost who are sitting behind a computer for help. There are so many good things that I could do instead of spending my time here. But I am just addicted to cc even if I hate it. So many people sound unreal here with their silly post. They just come here and make up something for the sake of having an ego. People get a life and try to find someone you know to help you with your school . Hey supindy why calling Jordan idiot? He does not call those who love cc Idiot so give the guy a break and back off. You maybe sucekd in HS because you are an idiot.</p>
<p>"hey supindy why calling Jordan idiot?" </p>
<p>know how to speak properly? I wont give more examples from your incredibly poorly written post. </p>
<p>all bashing aside, this threat needs to be deleted.</p>
