My chances at UC's and top schools

Chance Me / Match Me!
21

<p>You freaking changed your GPA and essays. 2 5.0's make a big difference moron. </p>

<p>And I can gaurantee you that someone has tried your bull**** essay before and failed because college admission officers are smart enough to catch stupid crap like that.</p>

<p>Some schools went down from match to reach because if you really did do some retarded essay like that, your chances will be in jeopardy.</p>

<p>If I'm John Kerry, then you're George Bush. FULL OF ****.</p>

<p>If you disagree with me then disregard my posts.</p>

<p>Oh, and learn how to use the edit button instead of posting 3 times in a row.</p>

22

<p>um what if its true and you spelled guarantee wrong... what if my essay is true? tell me what I should write about? btw hey flippy how about this one last time... rate my chance one last time btw what college do you go to?</p>

<p>Changes:
2100+ sat
A better essay ( it is true though what i said)
and a 5.0 both semesters of junior year</p>

<p>fool last time i promise</p>

23

<p>btw uh kerry lost and George Bush won in the end... think about it</p>

<p>thanks for your help though I just didn't know why you changed the chances lol</p>

24

<p>You're winner! <em>gives you the prize</em></p>

<p>And your ECs suck.</p>

<p>Don't criticize my ratings. Your stats aren't even real.</p>

25

<p>k your done get out of here.. your job is done go receive your pay and leave</p>

26

<p>btw my ec's are much better than harvard nerds with 4.0's...</p>

<p>does anyone remember the val or sal? does anyone remember the guy or girl who got a 4.7? no they remember the kid who made them laugh, the kid who scored the last touchdown to win the game...they remember the kid with a 3.2 who made everyone laugh... thats what students remember. they don't remember the nerd kid who sat in the library all day reading his sat book... High school is once and I was well rounded + decent grades.. that's what counts not reading the AP chem book on a summer night by yourself when the exam is in May. So do me a favor and get contacts, put down your AP book, take some showers, and go increase your social/mental/spiritual life.</p>

<p>And don't rate my chances anymore... half the people on this site are freshman and sophmores... your spending half your time rating imaginary stats...</p>

27

<p>Do colleges give a crap about who your friends remember? I'm sure because you make some people laugh that a college would choose you with a 3.2 over than val or sal with a 4.7. Yeah.. right.</p>

<p>And anyone who thinks that high stats implies low social life is one who's stats are low and are making up excuses to make themselves feel better.</p>

<p>Oh, and stop being an attention whore.</p>

<p>Skywalker92500, your EC's--which you consider so stellar--won't get you through a first round of reviews at Harvard. Take a look at Flippy's stats to see real ECs. </p>

<p>Oh, and in case you are planning to use a scam on these ECs when applying to the UC campuses, you should know that the UCs randomly scan applications and confirm their accuracy with the high schools--especially for those whom they plan to admit or have admitted. There was a person on one of these threads earlier that revealed that they had their admission status cancelled from UCLA when UCLA checked out their ECs and found out they were bogus. And, of course, they then were denied admission to any of the UCs--and UCLA then asked the high school to notify the other colleges the person applied to and inform them that there might be fraud involved as well. (Keep in mind many high schools keep track of where they send your transcripts--so notifying the colleges of inconsistencies is not that difficult).</p>

29

<p>haha nice flippy</p>

30

<p>LOL my stats are low and i want to feel better? hahahaha! and how many times do have to tell you? play a real sport... I told you 50 times but maybe your peanut brain can't function.. I have 5 times as many as that...
Eagle Scout... We have to go to Mexico and build houses and help the poverty that lies there.. Only Neil Armstrong made it to Eagle and like 4 presidents.. So next you do something as extraordinary then let me know.. Teaching kids in China english.. any retard can do that get some real ec's.</p>

<p>At my school, the val walked up to receive her award... did anyone applaud? LOL not really. So i'm not the only one because everyone knows who has a life and who doesnt. This girl had no friends and most of these people are like that. I don't need to feel better about myself... because everyone understands the fact that nerds are nerds and GOD gave us different abilities and aspects to USE THEM and not sit down and read books all day... everyone hates them and makes fun of them( sadly most are ugly anyway)... so once again get off my post, take a shower, and put your books down and go do somethign real with your life.Do you think those students in China really cared for you? they probably made fun of you when you left. Nobody cares for what you do and your valueless life. Once again God hates nerds and 4.99 students...sadly, this is the truth. AND FOR THE LAST TIME MY EC'S ARE REAL.THE UC'S CAN DO W/E THEY WANT TO CHECK THEM. PRESIDENT OF 4 CLUBS AND FOUDNER OF 2 BLAH BLAH...</p>

<p>And nobody goes to ivy leagues for undergrad its absurd... </p>

<p>btw thanks for your opinions but i have a reserved spot for YALE law school... so you might be my secretary if you dont do something with your life...LEAVE!</p>

<p>That's like half a page of ec's so get off my thread nerd stupid geek... cause i really want attention on a college site.. I wanna get some of those ivy league ugly nerds girls..</p>

She is going to transfer to the University of Michigan this fall. If you are from California you should have no problem being admitted but be very sure that you know what you are getting into.</p>
