<p>Don’t stress out so much. You’re good!
If you keep worrying this much ABOUT YOUR STATS WHICH ARE FINE, you’re going to have a nervous breakdown…and you’ll need a real counselor more than a college guidance one. You don’t want that.
And I’m sure you’re going to end up at a GREAT school.
You should check out some liberal arts colleges. They are amazing. (:</p>
<p>I wish you the best of luck in avoiding that nervous breakdown.</p>
<p>You don’t deserve to go to an Ivy if you have no confidence. You’re obviously ■■■■■■■■ for some attention.</p>
<p>^ Haha. That makes me feel better. I was beginning to feel like an evil, merciless, uncaring jerk. Not I feel validated.</p>
<p>please refer to above posts. I have already explained my situation well enough. If people think I am ■■■■■■■■ than so be it. If you do not want to help me out, than okay. I am sorry if I offended anyone. I just have a weird college acceptances situation.</p>
<p>Actually, your situation is anything but weird.
We’re all in the same boat, and your scores/grades will not only be taken in context of your high school but also the entire applicant pool.
Why then, are there so many acceptances to elite schools from renowned private prep schools like Exeter? Some of those acceptees probably rank in the bottom 50% of their class. COMING FROM A GREAT SCHOOL WILL NOT BE HELD AGAINST YOU.</p>
<p>IT WORKS IN YOUR FAVOR…</p>
<p>Hispanic. Forecasted 2250 SAT. A 32 ACT. A great GPA. </p>
<p>You are decently competitive. It comes down to you showing yourselves in your essays and if the college likes you.</p>
<p>Don’t even talk about community college. That’s ****ing stupid and just a cry for attention. You and I (I think) know that you are not so masochistic to limit yourself on purpose.</p>
<p>As I’m sure you have obviously noticed, CC chance forums are a far cry from happy places of joy and encouragement when people think you are ■■■■■■■■ or being idiotic. I suggest you translate our disgust and rude comments as something along the lines of: “You have good stats and you know it. Now apply wherever the hell you want and be quiet.”</p>
<p>ok thanks for the advice everyone. Now just wondering, I have the January SAT coming up+academic decathlon stuff. If I do well in both, how much does that boost my chances?</p>
<p>^ Refer to above post. Buy an SAT prep book.</p>
<p>If you are accepted to Dartmouth (WHICH CAN BE LIKELY) and attend, perhaps you’ll find a game of beer pong to join in and relieve all that stress!
They did invent beer pong there after all…</p>
<p>wow. you sure know how to put yourself on a pedestal. i got accepted to cornell/yale last year with 2000 SAT and 28 ACT. RELAX. COMMUNITY COLLEGE…seriously?!? unless your arrogance and insecurities show in your essays, you should get into the IVIES. i wish they would just get rid of that god forsaken standardized test. COLLEGE has nothing to do with it. so get off your high horse and calm the hell down. sorry. this post was just so rude and it makes all of us sound like idiots.</p>
<p>Your college admissions situation is not weird, please stop complaining about it. Inasmuch as adcoms will look at YOUR high school context in favor of the whole applicant pool context, they will also look at the whole applicant pool context in favor of your high school context. Don’t play the adcoms for work-to-rule strikers, they will KNOW your high school context and will not blindly look at you in that context. Now please stop ■■■■■■■■.</p>
<p>Or do you want people to be telling you you should go to community college?</p>
<p>Your so dumb…</p>
<p>Okay your school is on uppers or something because I come from a G20 school (google it) and not even my school is that competitive. While a 2k score is eh, a 2200 score is considered freaking good and 2300 amazing.</p>
