<p>philntex, you're black as well?</p>
<p>I'm so happy, I'm Canadian. I don't have to deal with the whole, "Did I earn my spot" nonsense.</p>
<p>Yes, sir. I actually think you're lucky to have that burden taken off you because the whole thing can get incredibly nasty at times. It shouldn't, though.</p>
<p>But it also means that I"m less assured. M'eh... What are your stats?</p>
<p>Well if I get in, I'll make the most of it, and I'll try my best, but there's sort of a moral dilemma. My scores (as they are now) would give me 0 shot at Princeton, but because of my race, I have somewhat of a shot. I guess you can say I'm 'taking advantage' of it because I want to get the best education possible, and if a school that is as great as Princeton would, I'd be foolish not to take it.</p>
<p>Hey, did you guys write an essay for the "describe what you've done over the past two summers" part of the application?</p>
<p>Have you been under any economic strife?</p>
<p>My stats are in my profile. And davidrune, judging from your stats, you don't have anything to not be assured about, heh.</p>
<p>Exactly, MDawg. I know I couldn't turn down an acceptance from P'ton (which of course is why I'm applying ED). Therefore the only thing to do is to bring up what I consider to be the only thing lacking in my presentation. But I agree with the philosophy, for sure.</p>
<p>I wrote an essay for the summer thing. It wasn't that serious or structured, but it wasn't a list if that's what you were asking.</p>
<p>Was that to me?</p>
<p>Economic strife? No, not really. My parents combined make about 70k (before taxes). I do have two other siblings though (Sister went to Cheney University-now at GWU for grad school. Brother-at University of Pittsburgh). 5 people, 70k. Not bad.</p>
<p>Wow... philntex and Mdawg scores are almost identical. I thought I was seeing double.</p>
<p>I did, Bokonon.</p>
<p>So you're pretty much the guy that EA shouldn't help, but it does.</p>
<p>Haha, just about, right? I guess if he helped me in math and I helped him in verbal, we could even things out a bit.</p>
<p>You guys should do that.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think I can pull off the 800 in math. You can pull off the 800 in verbal, and we'll be a good applicant. haha</p>
<p>wow you guys make me feel so different.</p>
<p>It'll be funny, you can both both your names on the application form. And send in four letters of recommendations.</p>
<p>The adcoms will be so surprised, they'll give both of you admission.</p>
<p>Why do you feel different?</p>
<p>I like this lounge</p>
<p>because i'm not a black guy? lol</p>
<p>It's not all roses.</p>
