<p>Exactly Lookingforward! She preaches morals, but has premarital sex and wants to dump her child with her parents during its formative years!</p>
<p>I NEVER SAID I WANTED TO DUMP IT WITH MY PARENTS! Stop making unbacked assumptions!</p>
<p>“and like, have my family take care of my child” what was that again…?</p>
<p>While im participating in my ecs! As in, during hs. Not college!</p>
<p>Btw when she said have her family take care of the baby, she was saying so could still do her ECs. Which I don’t think is right…</p>
<p>Adult behavior has adult consequences…</p>
<p>My neighbor got pregnant at 15, and has been taking care of her baby for 4 years now, and she attends a CC. </p>
<p>I don’t think it would have been possible for her to go to a 4 year. </p>
<p>You’re application will suffer, because if you’re so caught up in “doing the right thing” you will take care of your child… There’s still a chance for you to show a school you have pride and integrity, I’m sure you could turn your experiences into a great essay.</p>
<p>I still don’t get how someone preparing to apply to freaking Harvard could be that irresponsible… I know I don’t know the whole scenario… Just my $0.02…</p>
<p>But look: you didn’t plan this pregnancy and it happened. You don’t plan to let it effect you in school, but it too will happen, wait and see, wait and see… Or don’t, which is probably the better choice, assuming you really want to get into Harvard that badly.</p>
<p>Harvard is not everything. Don’t throw away a life on a less than 10% chance that you will even be accepted in the first place.</p>
<p>There is no way I will ever set foot in a CC. Like another poster said, attending a good school with baby in tow has been done and will be done. And yeah, I made a poor decision early on. I never should’ve done it. But one of the reasons I included my stats is so you people don’t automatically judge me and assume I’m some ignorant, na</p>
<p>I think killing someone is more significantly immoral than a condom apparently breaking/not being effective, okay?</p>
<p>“More significantly immoral.” But you have not followed the path most truly moral girls would have chosen. They would have waited. And, you have not mentioned what Mr Baby Daddy plans to do for this child. Will he move with you, provide parenting and shelter, support your dreams? Will he pay for daycare and leave work if the child gets sick and you’re in class? </p>
<p>“Dumping your child” is an expression. Many adults, conservative and liberal, use it to reflect putting your child in another’s care in order to pursue your own dreams. It’s a whole lot different than having some help while you hold a job to pay for the baby’s needs.</p>
<p>*There is no way I will ever set foot in a CC. * What is this??? Some sort of 'tude?</p>
<p>You have a 94% chance of not getting into Harvard. Start looking into colleges near home. </p>
<p>Anyone else consider this may be a ■■■■■?</p>
<p>Of course I know condoms can break. But you are pregnant with a life.</p>
<p>There’s nothing sick about it. If you don’t have the responsibility in the first place. He’s just voicing his suggestion, which is the entire reason you posted on CC in the first place. If you weren’t excepting somebody to suggest an abortion on CC, which is completely legal and moral to some people, then I think your level of naivety is too high for Harvard.</p>
<p>And on that note, getting a 3.9+ GPA does, in no way shape or form, guarantee you for Harvard. I think that’s the biggest misconception out there… And your ACT and SAT scores are nothing extraordinary compared to the people applying to Harvard. And you mentioned HMS… You’re a sophomore… Calm down. Med school is a long way away.</p>
<p>Her derogatory attitude seems like she wouldn’t be fit for Harvard anyway… I think she does seem like a ■■■■■…</p>
<p>You are incredibly ignorant if you think community college is some sort of disease… In 9 months you’re going to have a BABY. Do you really think you could go away to college with a toddler? Especially a school like Harvard? Changing diapers and pulling all nighters studying? It’s not impossible… But you are obviously proving to be incredibly naive, at least that’s how you are portraying yourself. </p>
<p>News flash you aren’t better than everyone else… You should start thinking about the child you are going to have…</p>
<p>I hope this a ■■■■■…</p>
<p>I’m only a sophomore! I think those test scores are damn good for someone who has over a year to improve. I’m in all honors/AP at an elite private school, and I’m top 5 in my class. And do you people not realize that chances INCREASE as strength of application increases? I guess not. And MY na</p>
<p>So you aren’t naive because you want to go to med school…? That makes no sense…</p>
<p>I don’t think I want a doctor who can’t figure out a condom… No offense…</p>
<p>If you’re such a great candidate then get an abortion, you’ll still have a shot at Harvard. Otherwise, look to my earlier post: You didn’t plan your pregnancy. It happened. You don’t plan to let this effect your school work. It will happen. Get an abortion, otherwise your chances go down the crapper. My step-sister was on the path to veterinary school when she got pregnant. You know what she does now? She’s a waitress at Longhorn. I’m not saying this’ll happen to you, but there’s no way in hell you’ll get into Harvard.</p>
<p>Oh yeah because I would really make something like this up just for kicks! You don’t know me, you don’t know my situation, and yet you choose to attack my actions and beliefs. You people are the epitome of judgement and cruelty.</p>
<p>Are you talking to me?</p>
<p>The morally inhumane and cruel thing here is that you aren’t considering the life of your baby… Taking care of a kid requires money,patience,time,love,etc. Maybe you should focus on your life instead of a school you’d have a crap shot at regardless…</p>
<p>3.9 UW GPA, all honors and AP, 33 ACT, varsity XC captain, and varsity tennis player plus sci oly, NHS, and ample volunteering at soup kitchens and in the inner-city yields a “crap shot?” Hmmm not the last time I checked…</p>
<p>Hey, I told you your stats are great, but pregnancy WILL ruin all of that, believe it or not. Hell, my step-sister was hospitalized for 2 months of her pregnancy. If you have the build of a cross country runner, you’ll most likely have issues too.</p>
<p>How does “having the build of a cross country runner” lead to having issues?</p>
<p>@worriedkid I can equate that and say I do all that and more… But THAT isn’t the issue… Everyone applying to Harvard will be as well qualified if not even more qualified than you… And an overwhelming majority of them well not have children they need to put their life on hold for. You’re choosing to keep the baby, good for you, there’s a lot more responsibility in having a baby than there is in being an XC captain… In September you’ll be 3/4 months pregnant, do you really think you’ll still be a captain?</p>
