<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]

<p>[/ul]
Location/Person:[ul]
[li] **State or Country
: Washington, DC (?????Silver Spring, anyone heard of the place), Greatest Place on Earth, My home sweet home, Mi Kassa[/li][li] **School Type, Average Stats of School (if available): Very Public, 91% minority , Average SAT: 840, Failing but trying hard to improve[/li][li] **Ethnicity:Afro American [/li][li] **Income Bracket:0-20,000: 15,200 to be exact (cough.... with my support....DAMN YOU GIANT FOR LAYING OFF MY FATHER!!!!!!!) from now on we only shop at better places like shoppers and safeway, since Giant wants to be a complete asss. [/li][li] **Gender:Alpha Male[/li][li] **Hooks:Changed my life around (??cliche??) from street kid to school kid. Worked to support family, living in a mean public housing facility, seen it all from stabbings to drugs, had to hustle on streetcorners as a kid to make money to get by, just a whole lot of urban poverty related misfortunes, but i tried to play it down because i dont wanna be a charity case, Won Prestigious NIH Research Positon (declined MITES to attend summer portion, but didnt tell them i declined MITES??? maybe i should have), College courses</p>[/li]
<p>[<em>] **Strengths/Weaknesses
*: Low SATs, they didnt get a chance to see me smash the WorldHist SAT, my essay was more personal and less of the creative witty thing, Grades not to hot (but all of my B's were in 9th grade, with a 4.0 in 11th grade with an eye-poping (well maybe not) 9 ap classes (lunch time and afterschool independent study that went on my transcript)), I got 2 B's this quarter, No real sports besides the summer league and a couple of JV's in the 9/10, Only one or two president/captain, no national level thingys, GODDDD i feel like im going to make it one day, then i regresss, *</em>*FF!!!!!!, a lot of things like that, You know how you go into a test feel good, then you come out and are like mentally fighting yourself over "did i do this" "did i have that", just like that. Im not top ranked despite a not so awesome kid. </p>

<p>[li] Why you think you will be accepted/deferred/denied:Because i like scrambled eggs with ketchup and barbecue???? well maybe because i come on the CC boards and procrastinate, while my homework piles up. Naw but really i think its because my EC's are not so hot and my scores are a little low, plus i wasnt really organized(?) and i didnt get a chance to say everything i wanted to my interviewer but i did have a good interview. [/li][/ul]Other Factors: I dont know, im about to sleep?????</p>

<p>General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I know that they already made their decisions but whatever i hear on DEC14 ill be happy and move on since i really want to go to Columbia if not Harvard since I absolutely love Harlem. And i just wanna say !!!!!!!!!!!!!FUERZA LATINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sike im playing Apfreak i love you man - no homo - im biting my niles anxiously with you man.</p>

<p>wow... someone has a lot to say...</p>

<p>spyder, i like how every one of your posts drips with sarcasm...it's almost....refreshing i guess. you seem like a real a$$hole, and i mean that as a compliment ;)</p>

<p>why thank you :)</p>

<p>aww is everyone shyyyy</p>

<p>hmm, apart from spelling deferred wrong, it looks like you have a pretty good chance of being accepted.
This thread is dumb though, considering real decisions are almost out.</p>

<p>but arent you dying to vent out some steeem</p>

<p>Hi guys, a lot of people will probably read this thread, and decisions are almost out, so I just want to sincerely say "Good luck!" to all the intrepid candidates who are ambitious and brilliant enough to apply to Harvard.</p>

<p>yes goood luck to everyone</p>

<p>There are rumors out there that e-mail decisions are sometimes sent a few days earlier than the actual date (Dec. 14th)... not sure how reliable the rumors are though.</p>

<p>from what i hear its not even 5 pm Dec14, thats just when they start to send them out. Look at Columbia board, people were recieveing emails as late as 7pm.</p>

<p>But definetly not before DEC14 unlesss past tradition is squashed.</p>

<p>"Homo"? I will hunt you down! Think Anakin killing the separatists brutally and with a confident satisfaction. :) (evil smile). I hope you meant Homie or something. But I say you have a good chance. </p>

<p>But I can have the best chance than any applicant if there are not applicants.........haaahaaa:)(evil smile)</p>

<p>if we get accepted, we should start a club on facebook called "i was an obsessive CC kid and thought apfreak is cool"</p>

<p>back to hw...</p>

<p>^ Haha tawny.</p>

<p>oops messed up my verb tense...</p>

<p>edit: "i was/am an obsessive CC kid and think apfreak is cool"</p>

<p>LOL, it's "deferred."</p>

<p>creative writing</p>

<p>If I DO get in...I will never tell any of you who I am...although it may become apparant as you get to know me:) I don't know how you all REALLY think of me and to approach me with a biased perspective before you get to see me is bad....:(</p>

<p>I guess I have a generally good name here at CC except for a few like desertman.</p>

<p>But DHA_3000, Cookie monster, Biz 17, and hotpiece and even amnesia seem on the positive side. Who else is generally for me ...meaing without any loathing:)?</p>

<p>haha, you can count me in that group, apfreak. just learn to chill a little. and stop coming to cc so often. go out and play. i should take my own advice.</p>

<p>If we all get accepted, ill find a way to identify you guys (especially APfreak) lol. To find me, just look for the hottest guy around lol.</p>
