My Last Stand...

<p>This thread gave me two flashes. First was a grainy black and white "telepathic video clip" of Allied soilders bravely holding a hill against coming Nazi fire and bombs (which probably never happened) and the next of the brilliant campaign I pulled of in Civilization IV a few days ago.. ahh</p>

<p>Back to Stanford. This too is my last 'real' descision (I still have NYU and Carnegie Mellon left though)..</p>

<p>After our last charge up the hill, only a few of us will remain standing.</p>

<p>can't we all remain standing and join in mutual revelry at the top of the hill?
GAH 13 minutes-ish. I'm not gonna look watch this.</p>

<p>yea this is my last one too...I really want to go to UCLA if I don't get into Stanford but I'm OOS and my parents don't wanna cosign the loans...but man if I don't get into Stanford I'm gonna fight for UCLA, cuz I really have no equal choices.</p>

<p>Injured and out here but still life will go on.</p>

<p>Rejected :(</p>

<p>One more body down.</p>

<p>Rejected.</p>

<p>I’m out of the battle too.</p>

<p>Stanford was my last stand too. I can't believe it. Rejected Brown, Stanford, Harvard, Waitlisted Columbia and Haverford.</p>

<p>At least I got into Oberlin?
I am dying for a Wesleyan acceptance tomorrow.</p>

<p>CC has become a battle field -- filled with many dead, with few victors still standing.</p>

<p>Rejected</p>

<p>Royrules, tell me more about that campaign on Civ IV. I love that game.</p>

But the victors shall forever remember the fallen.</p>

<p>omg...reading this thread is making me cry...<em>sob</em>...</p>

<pre><code>-fallen comrade
</code></pre>

<p>Me too... I'm a casualty.</p>

<p>shucks.</p>

<p>I was just headshotted.</p>

<p>My dad, my grandma, and my mom now think i'm a total failure. They said "oh, you got rejected from MIT, but its okay, you were lazy, at least you'll get Stanford now, if you weren't lazy there too." </p>

<p>I'm going to be stuck at a state university with kids who didn't do fifteen percent of the work I did and did far many worse things. I could have drunk, smoked, been suspended a few times and had a social life and still ended up in the exact. same. place.</p>

<p>Hard work. What a waste. Meh. :|</p>

<p>Hell its good preparation for the real world, right? ;)</p>

<p>I know how you feel Dragon...</p>

<p>My parents try and justify it by saying: "Its ok, at least you learned alot in high school..."</p>

<p>All I learned was how to get an A and stay up late and cram before a test... only to have the knowledge leave me the next day...</p>

<p>pwned.</p>
