Lying on CC

<p>I’m not really dolorous :(</p>

<p>I’m (somewhat of) a karaoke machine. Figuratively.</p>

<p>Well I’ve been almost there for a while now so I guess I’m kind of lying to myself because if I haven’t gotten there by now I’m probably never going to get there.</p>

<p>While I think that it’s completely possible for people to lie on CC, I honestly don’t believe that that’s what the majority of people do. I don’t think that it’s at all far fetched that the mass of CCers really are just the overachieving students who come on this college-centric site to talk among peers and get a legitimate scope of where they stand with admissions.</p>

<p>Lie- I have NO hope for DC. I go over my Georgetown “phase” ,awhile ago.</p>

<p>Truth: I can fly. Really. </p>

<p>^lie. :(</p>

<p>Pro necro dude</p>

<p>CC has three groups of people.</p>

<ol>
<li>The genuinely brilliant people, whether they brag or not. They are quite smart or at least well above average.</li>
<li>The average kids who want to become smarter and so love CC as a resource and an influence where they can learn from others.</li>
<li>The average kids who are bitter at everyone else and so either lie or ■■■■■.</li>
</ol>

<p>Some people aren’t even confined to just one group.</p>

<p>^ I’m definitely a mix of 1 and 2.</p>

<p>@josh: So it appears no one is sub-average here?</p>

<p>Nonetheless, 2 is very true, CC really does provide a lot. :)</p>

<p>I don’t label myself as a genius…rather…a peculiar man who often takes the path less traveled and enjoys the scenery. I feel that labels such as “Genius,” are rather arbitrary…</p>

<p>Number one fo sho.</p>

<p>Everyone on CC is above average. I think some of you guys are out of touch with reality if you think anyone here is average or below average, and I think you’re just plain stupid if you think those people care enough that you’re smart on CC or in real life that they want to impress you by lying. </p>

<p>The lowest self-reported score I’ve seen on here is a 21 ACT. Such a score is slightly above the national average, and the person was freaking out about it. I’ve probably seen less than 10 total, composite ACT scores below 30 on this site. </p>

<p>It’s a site for not only the college-bound, but for the kids that actually care about the nuances of college itself. It may come as a surprise to you that there are 36er’s who actually don’t care that much. </p>

<p>“Average students” who are jealous and want to ■■■■■? You can’t be serious. Your 4.0 don’t make ya a superhero, honey. The real world doesn’t care that much. People get on with their lives no matter how self-glorifying or “smart” you are. </p>

<p>Ask the average CCer if they’d rather get into Harvard or win the Super Bowl and you already know the response. Ask the average American and I think you’d be surprised by the answers you receive. No, there aren’t droves of ■■■■■■ coming on here to lie and impress you. Rather, there’s a bunch of smart kids who are trying too hard to impress one-another and you’re all too stupid to realize that you’re a part of it. /end rant</p>

<p>I honestly think its stupid to lie about your stats. I’m not ashamed to post my low SAT or ACT score in a chance thread. Personally, I’d rather post my real stats (which I have) and receive advice in terms what I should work on. I’ve been a member on CC for a few months now and I’ve learned a ton of stuff and received some great advice from others simply by telling the truth.</p>

<p>Did you really expect everyone on this forum to be honest?</p>

<p>Yeah I don’t get it either its not like they have something to prove to us. We don’t even know them in real life. I tell the truth</p>

<p>@LoseYourself</p>

<p>I didn’t expect that at all, when did I ever say that? Obviously everyone doesn’t tell the truth all the time.</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>ZombieDante, no you don’t. :D</p>

<p>One word</p>

<p>■■■■■■</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>People who work towards building H-Bombs they can drop onto us poor peasants, have nothing else to look forward to in life.</p>
