I guess they must think the same about the post count obtained through posts here on this sub-forum.
@quasi: aww Sorry. :frowning:
And Congratulations, tetris! :D</p>

762

<p>So why are the posts on the Class of 2014 thread and the Brown ED Applicants thread valid? We mostly just gossip there too :P</p>

763

<p>I guess to them it must be easier to discount the posts in an entire sub-forum rather than the posts in a particular thread(s). :P</p>

764

<p>Yeah. I guess you are right.</p>

765

<p>Tut tut, laziness :P</p>

766

<p>Well, letā€™s hope it continues! Iā€™m glad they count those posts.</p>

<p>Yale SCEA might be trumping you guys, you know, tetris. They have prospective wars with Stanford and matchmaking going on. Plus itā€™s bigger. :P</p>

<p>Amherstā€™s is about as small as Amherst. Oh well. </p>

<p>Oh, and hey, Crazysah, whatā€™s up?</p>

767

<p>I wrote **** draft #3 of college essay. Yay for me!</p>

768

<p>Oh, you suck. :P</p>

769

<p>That would be my drafts doing the sucking :P.</p>

<p>I have a question. Is it better to write something showcasing what a little ~star~ you are (i.e. talking about your talents/achievements), or writing about something thatā€™s culturally significant to you at the risk of not detailing your awards/ECs etc?</p>

770

<p>Um, the second one. They already know more about your awards/ECs than anyone really wants to (or if they donā€™t, you havenā€™t used enough of your CommonApp/resume place, yo!)</p>

771

<p>@QuasiProfound - Nothing much. Trying to sort out my college list and how I am going to get in there with my not so great marks.</p>

772

<p>Sigh. I feel your pain. This is not as fun a time of our lives as it should be.</p>

773

<p>I thought so too, right? But people are telling me that thereā€™s no use in detailing your ECs if you donā€™t tell a story about your dedication and passion to them in your essay. As a result, Iā€™m really confused.</p>

774

<p>@meghna: Go with the second option.</p>

<p>@Quasi: Lol, fun all around. Iā€™ll remain non-competitive and stay true to Brownā€™s spirit :P.</p>

775

<p>Haha that was a good answer, tetris.</p>

<p>meghna, I reiterate: second option. And, er, can I add you on FB?</p>

776

<p>I second the FB question.</p>

777

<p>FB! The social networking exam ruining website!</p>

778

<p>Strike a balance and itā€™s all good.</p>

<p>(NO Quasi, you can NOT interject here!)</p>

779

<p>May aaaaaaiiii?</p>

780

<p>Ahem. I see Iā€™ve made my point, however.</p>
