<p>I’ll be applying REA to Stanford. If you could voice your opinions for this school specifically, it’d be really helpful! Thanks!
Also, I won’t be applying for financial aid.</p>

3

<p>No chance look for some safeties like SUNY’s ,try improving ur SAT Score u dont hold any chance with 2390 …
Try to be a international level recruited athlete aim to qualify for london olympics 2012 and win 7-8 gold medals or atleast aim for Rio olympics 2016, along with that if u are an URM it may help ,
but just 2390 and 1 st generation college hook wont get u in unless u were awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom by Obama and gave speech at UN at the age of 6 and have an average IQ of 240.</p>

4

<p>Hmm. Now some non-satirical comment would be nice too :)</p>

5

<p>ok cross out the 240 IQ part , I was a bit too harsh on u a 220 would do</p>

6

<p>Aw come on! please? :)</p>

7

<p>I’ll reply non-satirically. (However mechrockz your satire made my day). Your stats are impressive, so as long as you show personality in your essays (show that you are more than just a really really smart individual) you have a really good chance at all of those schools.</p>

8

<p>I don’t think mechrockz was being sarcastic. I agree with everything he said 100%</p>

9

<p>You will have to be related to Justin Bieber in order to get to Yale, so cross it off. </p>

<p>Stanford loves people who adopt penguins; you’re in if you have one.</p>

<p>Princeton - If you are 100kgs and can do a headstand for 57 minutes, you’re in.</p>

<p>Dartmouth loves people who murder cats.</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon needs lemons. Grow up 2.</p>

<p>There are many criteria like those. Also pay attention to what mechrockz said. Also, be ready to be guillotined because you lost 10 on your SAT. I would say you may have a little chance if you could install reverse gear on a horse.</p>

<p>^thank you for your reply.</p>

11

<p>@iamthebest - I guess I’m not going to get a straight answer out of anyone am I? Oh well. :D</p>

12

<p>You’ll get in UCLA and Gtech fosho</p>

13

<p>Your profile itself gives you the straight answer.</p>

<p>Now for growing lemons…</p>

14

<p>Also please dont make spelling mistakes on your app. It’s iamthebist.
I recommend you to apply here -</p>

<p>[Welcome</a> to Gulu University](<a href=“http://www.gu.ac.ug/]Welcome”>http://www.gu.ac.ug/)</p>

15

<p>Or the favorite choice for Indians… [Lund</a> University - Lund University](<a href=“http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/]Lund”>http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/)</p>

16

<p>As the name suggests, Gulu University is situated in Gulu, the largest town in northern Uganda, one of the Commonwealth states in the newly revived East African Community (EAC)</p>

17

<p>as far as MIT is concerned I find their selection process very random ,my friend who was research advisor of Adam G Reiss (nobel laureate)in discovering the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae
was rejected
whereas some other guy with a 1400 page research on string theory was selected ,I know ,I know its totally lame but I just cant do anything about it.</p>

<p>and as far as Brown is concerned they dont take Brown guys anymore (racists)</p>

18

<p>Lund university is cost effective and groovy</p>

19

<p>Thanks veethiv and canhazphysics. :)</p>

<p>@iamthebist, sorry, my bad. And thank you so much for the recommendation. But don’t you think its a little of a high reach?</p>
