<p>hi
my name is dana, and i'm just another international student hoping for a miracle to be done.After this infernal period has passed, with exams and stuff, we cannot but wait and keep our fingers crossed. I wish u all good luck, and may everyone end up where he wishes.
By the way by biggest dream is to be accepted either by colgate u, oberlin, dickinson,cornell or dartmouth...
:) Merry Christmas :)</p>

<p>kabayan! :) yeah, youre right - they just make me want to cry. although my grades are excellent (95 out of a 99 GPA unweighted; 4/334), and i have good ECs, recs etc.. i got a 1230 (620M, 610V) on my sat I and my sat IIs are like in the 600's.. and im applying to 3 ivies. with these scores, i know i have no chance at HYP - but what the heck, i dont want the day to come when id regret not applying to them. and who knows what might happen right? i might just be lucky - the selection processes at ivies are random and are just plain weird. heh i have good back-up schools though, and some dont even require the SAT (mt holyoke, bard, bates, emmanuel).</p>

<p>danna_:</p>

<p>im hoping for a miracle as well! hopefully after january 22nd ill be through with the inferno im experiencing :D good luck to us all!</p>

<p>omg!!u ppl in this forum are honestly really REALLY umm.....can i say smart...u must eat lots of fish or soemthing ! i dont think any of you should ever worry about not getting accepted as all of you have something which will most prolly seperate u from all them other applicants!! i mean 7 languages!! I know 4.5 ( the .5 is russian as im still in the endless process of learning it) and i thought that would b a stronger point..lol!! anyways im retaking the sat Is in january and i will b applying to many "Prestigious " colleges next year. I think im overly ambitious and most prolly won't get into any place when compared with people such as your selves + the whole finance thing looks like its gonna b a major issue...umm 42 thau a year...ya riggghhhtttt.Im egyptian living in Kazakhstan... Im doing full IB, 4.0 uw, endless ec's community service , creative writing, ballet, student council, athletics, awards, recognitions and the works ( the list goes on) but o well where does petty little me stand againt all you 1600 and gazillion 800s...i think im going to stop coming to this forum.. lol its really depressing as, at one point i thought that i was a tad bit better then most ppl my age but anyyywaaaayysss.......good luck to u all and i dont think you sould worry about anything, if any of you ever get rejected ANYWHERE then its that colleges' loss honestly!!</p>
