<p>Haha I have 41 messages saved... all from today.</p>
<p>I delete mine as I go, now. I get scared when it fills up! Mine's at 32 right now.</p>
<p>I delete them in big chunks.</p>
<p>I ventured out of the Harvard forum to ask a Penn question, and--let me tell you--those kids are tough! They can't stand to just answer a question; they just go on and on and on! :p</p>
<p>haha. Do they have the, erm, unique discussions that we do? :D</p>
<p>"Don't send a CD unless you're a word-renowned musician who's won at least two Grammy Awards or equivalent."</p>
<p>About music, sex, and school? I doubt it.</p>
<p>Although, they do pride themselves on being the "social ivy."</p>
<p>Yeah. I was like, thanks kid. Way to help me out.</p>
<p>I told him I was in the top 5, too, just to get him off my back. I'm probably in the top dozen or top twenty, and definitely top five at every school, but top overall five is really cutting it down. lol</p>
<p>lol. So I've heard. The people from my school who applied there and got in are in the "popular" crowd. Pfft. I'd feel lonely as a nerd at Penn. Not so at Harvard, hehe. My mentor got her B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. from Penn. She didn't recommend it for an aspiring astronomer.</p>
<p>haha I'm liking how this essay is coming along, by the way. Although for story's sake, I had to make up a girlfriend (yeah, whatever, JHU doesn't have to know she's not real :p). Hmm....</p>
<p>I'm from the Penn forum, don't down us like that, I just think it was stupid you wouldn't tell us your instrument, btw, we are the social ivy by far...</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't really like the fact that in all their lists of Why Penn they talk about how social and "not full of nerds like the other ivies" it is. I mean, academics, anyone? lol</p>
<p>~cough cough~ #1 in every ranking ~cough cough~</p>
<p>haha jk. Why should we fight? They're all good ;)</p>
<p>Although if we need to toot Harvard's horn.....where's Byerly when you need him??</p>
<p>And by the way, as a nerd and proud of it, I resent that!</p>
<p>A girlfriend for yourself? hahaha. I'm going to have to read that when you're done. ;)</p>
<p>edit because i'm too lazy for 60 second: yeah, no need for bickering. ;) But, we could use Bylerly right about now. :D</p>
<p>FORUM WAR!</p>
<p>...after corranged finishes her essays. :p</p>
<p>haha well, I'm working on it, but it's still in the early stages and I highly doubt everything's going to come together by JHU deadline, so, you know....creative license :p</p>
<p>By the way, this fictional girlfriend is complete NYC Subway System-inept.</p>
<p>After I finish my Why Penn? essay, you mean? I might have to join the other side of this war, in that case. ;)</p>
<p>But, I love you guys too much. :)</p>
<p>Pish posh. You should be on Harvard's side because they didn't force you to write a pointless "WHY DO YOU WANT TO APPLY TO AN ELITE IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL THAT ALMOST NOBODY WOULD TURN DOWN?" essay.</p>
<p>He thinks I'm a ****ing trumpet player based on my atitude. lol </p>
<p>I don't think it's that weird that I don't want my specifics on CC where friends or adcoms or parents could see it and identify me. I didn't even post my test scores. lol Anyway, I'd be happy to tell you two. Just not the whole Internet. ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, I'd be on Harvard's side because we rock. Duh. :p</p>
<p>haha but they could actually use an essay like that. I mean, I can't stand to see people getting in whose only reason for applying is "Oh, because it's Harvard" when some of us love it for more than just the name.</p>
<p>And I wouldn't post my specifics, but things like "3rd in Siemens" leave things pretty closed to anonymity, sadly. lol. By the way, this Hopkins essay is putting me in a reeeeal hankering for Indian food, but I can never seem to find a way to get any!!! Grrr....maybe tomorrow I can beg my mom to bring me to a lunch buffet. lol</p>
<p>Ooo ooo tell me tell me! It's a trumpet, isn't it? ;)</p>
<p>Man if you're a viola player or something I'll be so happy.</p>
