"major mistake:
born yellow instead of a urm"
^^^^
being born black instead of Native American...the holy grail of AA admissions</p>
<p>early on:
-messed up my HS GPA by getting a 2.5 freshman year...whoa
-could've done a lot more to prepare myself for college admissions. My high school is crap, and the guidance counselors never offerd us any help
-Taking SAT and getting a 1940 instead of taking act and getting a 36
-working a job instead of studying harder...
-applied to West Point's summer program (like 20% of students get in)......................................then didn't go...on purpose
-was offered a fully paid college visit/vacation by Amherst, then turned them down...stupid, stupid, stupid</p>
<p>Then:
-Slacked off on FAFSA stuff...not good
-Majorly messed up first semester of my senior year..due to extenuating circumstances but, still, it suuuuuuuuuuucks to be playing catch up the last half OF MY SENIOR YEAR
-Didn't apply to UPenn Wharton ED with said revised test scores</p>
<p>A Good Thing:
-Admitted to Williams College ED!</p>
