<p>I found PampleMoose's template to cover most of the areas. Feel free to edit and paste a new one if you find anything that needs to be added.</p>

<p>Minor detail, I guess I'm OCD.</p>

3

<p>income bracket? how about whether you are appling for aid or not.....</p>

4

<p>It would be nice capture what other schools to which we are (were) going to apply. </p>

<p>Also it would be fun to capture quirkly stuff like major weaknesses, beyond the normal stuff (SATs, GPA, etc.).</p>

5

<p>i agree......especially when you are rejected. i would like to hear the persons thoughts more than the numbers. if they had weak scores, what do they think got them in. Like BalletGirl suggested, a where can we find you section. We all probably have a second school in mind and that's the board we'll gravitate to.</p>

<p>It kind of sucks that someone who is clearly that intelligent got rejected. That's why all I'm counting on is my luck... the whole process is random (atleast among those who are qualified in the first place).</p>

8

<p>It was a sample. I didn't actually get rejected... yet.</p>

9

<p>i say youre in with that...if not, then there is no hope for the rest of us</p>

10

<p>i know it was a sample.... but was it made up? i thought that was an actual example of someone who got rejected...</p>

<p>Those are my stats. Putting that I got rejected is so much less pretentious and arrogant than saying I got accepted.</p>

<p>u still think youre the **** tho so why sugar coat it?</p>

</p>

<p>Not entirely sure where you got that notion.</p>

14

<p>heh.. oh my. bad day shackelton?</p>

15

<p>Not to be a put-down, but people with stats like that get rejected all the time from schools like Dartmouth. It doesn't mean everyone with those stats will get rejected - just that stats like those don't guarantee admission.</p>

16

<p>look, i really dont care if youre confident--I am too, but dont "avoid" being pretentious by pretending you got rejected. You put ur stats up when you could easily have made stats up</p>

<p>You need to chill out. I didn't pretend I got rejected, it's not a big deal at all. I just decided to put a sample, so I simply used my stats. Not much thought needed to go into it, and no analysis is needed... I just took my info from a chance thread I posted before and added in the additional fields.</p>

<p>And I was clearly being facetious there.</p>

18

<p>ok well see what happens come december 15th. You dont seem like you have much to offer but youll prob get in cuz of ur scores</p>

19

<p>Neurosurgeon08 is right on the mark with that comment. Shackleton55, you always know how to make these charming discussions sour.</p>

<p>Good luck with admissions though ;)</p>

<p>No. If I get in, I'll get in because of my entrepreneurial spirit, my drive to succeed, and my ability to network with all kinds of people.</p>
