<p>Yeah how is a 1500 mediocre?</p>
<p>I worded that incorrectly, sorry. Of course her scores aren't mediocre but I was simply looking at the 800 verbal and the low 700's in the other sections ... my mistake. The score is AMAZING but I guess my standards have been kind of warped by CC . ehh, forgive me. I envy you thykingdomcome! great job and congrats again. I wasn't trying to bash your score - it's CRAZY good. a score I would only dream of attaining :]</p>

[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:Perhaps someone on the review board really liked Chuck Norris~ O.o?[/li][/ul]General Comments: I got rejected to my first choice (Cornell) and also to Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. It was a really big surprise to find out I had been accepted to Harvard~ I only applied because my friends wanted me to at least try~ (thank you~~) So, I'd like to say, anything is possible!!! At least try, everyone!! Congratulations to all those who were accepted!! Good Luck to everyone~ Go Class of 2007!!! </p>
<p>Also, as of now, I think I will be attending Harvard~ Unless my wait-list status at Cornell changes... But my parents are really enthusiastic about my attending Harvard, although they really didn't want me going to the east coast~ So I guess I'll be seeing some of you there! ^.^</p>
<p>I got rejected...but I applied as a joke. Penn rejected me as well. I liked that school. Wharton's really really good. But I like UVA so I hope I can go (it depends on the fin aid award).</p>
