<p>EmpathSilvio obviously just had a really strong application. How many college applicants have a two book publishing deal?</p>
<p>@bamboleo, @noisyimpatntspdr and @williamskid thanks for the support. I see the Williams camaraderie is already in working!
As for the girl, I get her. It’s tough getting rejected. She needs to vent. I will let her have her kanye moment. I got the award :)</p>
<p>*is already working. sorry :p</p>
<p>there’s probably something to what wtcgshep was saying, i don’t think she’s totally out of line. we all know that diversity and geography play a role in college admissions. and after reading her post, i don’t find anything specific about why she thinks empath got in. </p>
<p>and empathsilvio - i think, as a successful applicant, you have an obligation to be humble and considerate. your last post came across as rude and pretentious, to me, even though I assume you meant to be funny. please remember - you now represent Williams.</p>
<p>I didn’t mean to be pretentious or rude. But I don’t enjoy my efforts being belittled. I am inclined to believe that I didn’t only tick the ‘diversity’ box, as I am sure that if it was only for that, I’d be on my way to routine by now. I was rejected last year too and RD, which makes it worse, and I vented, but not on someone else’s expense.</p>
<p>I think wtcgshep was referencing empathsilvio’s scores and unfortunately that came across as her saying empathsilvio was admitted as a diversity case. The reality is white female applicants from NJ are overrepresented. No doubt some were admitted but it’s a deep pile of apps and they have their pick of very well-qualified applicants. That does not have anything to do with Empathsilvio of course. They are building a class and he or she won a golden ticket in another competitive demographic, internationals. This was never a decision between the two of them.</p>
<p>First, empathsilvio is from Albania, and has probably been through completely different things than us in the states. Second, his SAT is ok considering he is probably not a native english language speaker while wtcgsheep is.</p>
