Rejection from 20+ Schools

<p>Jozhekryx, I <3 you</p>

<p>I asked him to PM me his stats a week ago and he hasn’t PMed them yet. What does that say?</p>

<p>Guys, I have a 4.5 UW GPA (which is a 104%), and I got a 2430 on my SAT with extra credit.

And I’ve shaken hands with Martin Luther King Jr. xD</p>

<p>I think I should PM the moderators to perhaps lock this thread.
Please do not make any assumptions.</p>

<p>PM me for stats, for I am a pretty identifiable guy due to extracurriculars,scores,…etc.</p>

<p>OP-
You are so lost in your grammatical world that it is actually quite scary.
Stop and think. Isn’t it obvious that everyone is talking negatively towards you for a reason? The way you write is not correct. It’s just not.
Here is a ridiculous example matching your ridiculous writing style.
Say you went to the finest English scholar in Britain and gave him a piece of your writing; he might praise a couple of your words, but he would consider your usage of words completely unnecessary and just plain wrong. It’s as simple as that. Do you not wonder why everyone is complaining about the way you write?
If this is the way you learned how to communicate, than so be it, but at least acknowledge the fact that you and your mindset on how to write is not correct. Why don’t you have an open mind and listen to what other people tell you?</p>

<p>All right, here is a response to your original thread question:
You said there was a difference between your college essay and the posts you write in this website. From what you are saying, one could conclude that your college essay would be better than how you write on the internet. Yet one of your major flaws is how you write. You write in a nonsensical, pointless fashion for stupid responses on a forum website. If this previous statement is true, then your college essay must be the most ridiculous piece of crap that has hit the face of the earth.
College admissions officers DO NOT want to see an essay with unnecessary vocabulary to spruce it up. However, you take this statement and raise it 10 levels, and write in a completely ridiculous fashion. Your college essay, compared to the way you write on the internet, must be completely void of fluency. College admissions officers are not super grammar freaks like you. They are regular people who read through a college essay for 5 minutes, and want to see a good, deep conclusion, and not some piece of junk essay will ridiculous words bursting out of it.
This is a serious thought on why you were rejected to these schools.</p>

<p>I mean, every person here has said the same thing over and over again. Do you not find this convincing; that your grammar is pointless and only hurts you? It does not make you sound intelligent, it hurts the fluency of anything you write, its completely unnecessary, unpractical, and no where near how you should write for a future job.</p>

<p>Could I ask you to look past any grammatical and photogenic errors in the above paragraphs, and just respond to the core argument for once. Every response you have given just calls someone “wrong”, and nothing more. So could you response deeply to my statements above please?</p>

<p>Hey, having a first-rate vocabulary can also mean that I can handle everyday vocabulary.
I didn’t write my essays with extra junk. </p>

<p>Are you content now?</p>

<p>Yes, yes I am</p>

<p>My job here is done.</p>

<p>*Hey, having a first-rate vocabulary can also mean that I can handle everyday vocabulary.

<p>That was the most beautiful thing ever, you spoke plainly and got your point equally if not more easily across. Again for SAT it’s great to have fancy language, and or an article which requires such specific description, but on a forum and even for a college essay, such language is absolutely not necessary, and while I admonish the haters, many people including eurosport360 are simply trying to help you, you will have to conform to conversational english if you want to speak with english speakers, and I am not saying lower class english, but simply upscaled conversational english,</p>

<p>hay u guyz, stop mayking fun uv this pursun for u-zing gewd spelling. he iz reely smart an ur just gellus. u guyz shewd lurn how 2 uze big wurds lyke us so u can b smart 2</p>

<p>Thanks for the ■■■■■ post, Zoidberg.
I seriously don’t understand why people contacted me for usage mistakes.</p>

<p>I guess I was wrong about using right language at right times.
My language perhaps would have been more apt with professionals.</p>

<p>We are all bros and sises here.</p>

<p>One serious question is raised as a possible ramification:
mifune talks exactly like I do.
We have a similar level of vocabulary.</p>

<p>Why is he called a ‘rare’ breed?
His source was also SAT.</p>

<p>I admit that I used a glut of technical terms concerning AP Statistics.
This, however, does not indicate my state of mind!</p>

<p>I also disagree with faulty word choices.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>

<p>You and mifune may have a similar level of vocabulary, but you don’t talk like he does. I believe that you mentioned that you learned English in Middle School. I’m not surprised. Everything you say is denotationally correct, but there is far more to language than literal definitions. Every word has its own subtle nuances, and it’s clear that for many of the words you use, you don’t understand them. You consistently throw around words that overstate what you’re trying to say. When you said, ‘I do not see why we are arguing vehemently about the thesis here,’ you really weren’t arguing vehemently. It’s too strong of a word. You also wouldn’t call the idea that you use a thesaurus a thesis- it is too associated with science and higher learning for you to use it in this context. mifune, on the other hand, owns his words.</p>

<p>I got your point.
Thank you for your clarification.</p>

<p>Isn’t it cool talking in regular everyday English. If you were to talk like this from the get-go people may have not been on your tail.</p>

<p>jozheryx thanks for coming to your senses will miss your lunacy and the hilarious reactions though…almost wish you had kept it up…</p>

<p>jozheryx thanks for coming to your senses-will miss your lunacy though.this thread is truly hilarious…</p>

<p>I don’t know…Jozhekryx was starting to grow on me. :smiley: I’m going to miss his verbosity. :(</p>

<p>I won’t. I honestly see why using words like that are bad.</p>

<p>^MIT, can’t you tell I was joking?</p>
