let me remind you all kindly

Applying to College
1

let me remind you all kindly…
people that should not be on this board are the following:
and you all should know who you are

-ppl that have list their same stats more than two times, hoping to get a the same/better comments
-anyone who has an SAT score over 2350 that ask if they can get into HYPSM
-people that lie about their stats to a point where it’s painfully obvious (cough cough iwannagoivy)
-people that ask questions even THEY know the answer to, like “can I lie about leadership positions?” or “is this a hook?”
-people that are unrealistically critical about others’ stats
-people that pretend they know everything about getting admitted into ivies when they have not even applied or been admitted into a college

<p>There'd be maybe twenty people on the board in that case...</p>

3

<p>Yeah, the last bullet pretty much wipes out... the majority of the teenagers on the board.</p>

4

<p>i'm glad you think you have the power to dictate who posts and what is posted</p>

5

<p>-people that wish they were a moderator.</p>

6

<p>Letting go is harder for some folks I guess. I feel the hand on my shoulder, the cloying voice.......yikes.</p>

<p>"-people that wish they were a moderator."</p>

<p>haha.. i was thinking the same thing</p>

8

<p>i agree. SO many people have unbelievable stats and they lie.</p>

9

<p>i especially hate it when people ask their chances and their rank is 1/400....im just thinking hmmmm....this person is the smartest in their grade and they still have doubts for their chances...</p>

<p>well if our stats have changed or new stats can be added, I'd say it's okay to post more than twice, since most of us here are extemely worried about our futures. half the things on your list are stupid. The forum would have less than 5 people on it if anyone considered following your rules.</p>

11

<p>How about people who don't capitalize or punctuate and spell 'people' 'ppl'?</p>

12

<p>i really dont think punctuation should matter so much..i mean geezz this is not some kind of essay</p>

<p>I like the text broken into sentences with punctuation, but capitalization isn't as important. Every once in a while somebody starts a thread with no punctuation or capitalization and I usually don't even read those because it's too time consuming to figure out what they were trying to say.</p>

<p>As for the last bullet, I think you're wrong. There are plenty of knowledgeable people on this board who have not applied or been accepted to college. I will be applying this fall and have read several books on the subject; does that make me less qualified to judge than someone who has already applied? Not at all. Personal application outcomes are only anecdotal evidence and as such are not much use in determining the likelihood of another person's acceptance.</p>
