<p>No, Please Tell Me.. Is There Anything Else Ritzbitz... Id Love To Hear More About Your Success In Life.</p>

12

<p>no need to be snide- someone asked for my stats so I posted them- I copied them off my applications so it's not like I am purposefully elabortaing or anything. And honestly, compared to everyone else on the website (and in the applicant pool) I am nothing. This website makes me feel so incompetent at times.</p>

13

<p>Ritzbitz - you feel incompetent the same way someone worth $20 million feels poor when they compare themselves to Bill Gates. Highly intelligent, active kids like you think they're average because they hang around around other kids like themselves all the time, and think everyone else is just like them. </p>

<p>Take a look at the SAT website where they show score distribution, Your SAT scores put you in the top few % nationwide.</p>

<p>Your stats and ECs are great. I would be VERY surprised if UVA didn't offer you a place in their next class.</p>

14

<p>I don't know if the admissions people like wading through a sea of extra currics. It seems kind of unlikely that ALL of these things are really important to you; they want to see what you are most interested in.</p>

<p>Pradnad & RainbowPride, </p>

<p>FYI, UVa professors Charlotte Patterson & Jennifer Wainwright recently published an article revealing that kids raised by same-sex parents are as equally adjusted as kids raised by opposite sex parents. They're among the nation's top scholars on gay parenting.</p>

<p>Nice SAT scores... if my December one is around ~1350... it will be the one thing that I am not leaning on to get me in...</p>

<p>Both of you will most likely get in.</p>
