<p>sempitern555-- you constantly flatter yourself. It's not even arrogance anymore, it's just sheer stupidity.</p>
<p>You were actually considering Wash U? Congrats, that's why you submitted an application. The school didn't consider you though.</p>
<p>In turn, realizing you weren't qualified, you start beating a dead horse, advertisement juggernaut this, Tufts syndrome that.</p>
<p>Keep crying a river. I'd suggest building a bridge and getting over it quickly though. Hopefully your bubble will burst soon and you'll realize that you're not as 'smart' as you think you are. If not, then good luck to you in the future, you'll need it.</p>
<p>oooh, thanks for the flame faenix... I appreciate your kind comments and wish you luck at washu. seeing people like you there makes me glad I wasnt accepted(and I'm sure you feel the reverse for me)</p>
<p>so, good luck to you as well.</p>
<p>unfortunately for you, I know my capabilites and weaknesses quite well. I don't like being swindled which is what I felt washu did with regards to me. They had been trying to recruit me since the 8th grade- mailing me pound upon pound of their stuff. And then, they turn around and waitlist me.</p>
<p>oh well, I think it is washu's loss and not mine. Sayonarra washu, hope that marketing juggernaut comes back to bite you in the ass</p>
<p>oh and yes, I do have nothing better to do but to post on cc at the present time </p>
<p>The above comments are not meant to take away from the acceptances that certain mature and wise candidates got. I congratulate them for their achievement. But then again, realize that if you choose to matriculate to washu you'll probably be seeing the likes of some people</p>
<p>Ah, you flatter yourself again. Seeing people like me makes you glad that you weren't accepted? A sad attempt at rationalizing your realization that you're not 'good enough?'</p>
<p>You know your capabilities and weaknesses quite well eh? Somehow I highly doubt that--you tend to overestimate yourself a tad bit. I mean Wash U was a 'mega mega' safety wasn't it?</p>
<p>LOL~ recruit you since the 8th grade? Too bad everybody else that could read and write got mail from Washington University. Again, I urge you not to flatter yourself.</p>
<p>Wash U's loss that they weeded out an ignorant dolt? Guess it is a loss that they had to waste time on your application. </p>
<p>Ah yes, the marketing juggernaut, Wash U's trademark. Which led to increased awareness of the school, great students, which led to a massive endowment and high alumni giving rate.</p>
<p>I'd suggest you stop posting. You're looking dumber and dumber.</p>
<p>sempitern555: What really bugs me is that I was actually considering washu and went to an interview and wrote a why washu essay... I cant help but think they took one look at my app and said.... he's probably going to end up elsewhere</p>
<p>I know the above sounds arrogant and conceited which I try not to be but still, I think that they shouldnt have disqualified me because of that</p>
<p>I hate to post it again on a new page, but wow that just cracks me up.</p>
<p>actually I remembered oeillades from hamlet</p>
<p>in case u havent noticed there ARE people in the world who know these words off the top of their head. If my word usage was too advanced for you I will stick with more basic words</p>
<p>Once again, thanks for your wish of luck regarding harvard, I am thankful for that</p>
<p>and I am not crying ,as I stated before, I know my strengths and weaknesses and I am just exploring a train of thought at this particular moment regarding washu's admissions policies. I am glad I have such a good companion for the train ride :)</p>
<p>It is a very nice try considering it is true, but instead of me using my everyday language and continue posting somewhat archaic words, let us stop arguing over the words themselves and continue on to washu's admit policy.</p>
<p>oh btw, I am so heartened by your ability to tell me that I am not One of them. Have you considered a career in fortune telling? If so, don't quit your day job. Cassandra was better fortune teller than u.</p>
<p>you know, cassandra, the fortune-teller from the Iliad?</p>
<p>faenix and sempitern555- - - you guys are sooo funny. Reading this makes me laugh. </p>

<h2>Sempitern555-- I am sure you will get accepted to other great schools, and in the end you won't feel as sour as you do now. It's probably hit you hard on the face because it's so early (is it your first decision?), but as the end of March + early April comes, I am sure you will get over it. If you do get off the waitlist, then do consider Wash U seriously, because the student body of Wash U is actually very, very kind and funny. Wish you the best.</h2>
<p>faenix -- Have you visited the campus yet? What did you think of the atmosphere? Food? :)</p>
<p>I've visited twice. The atmosphere is great. Everyone was friendly and down to earth.</p>
<p>The food was the best part. Whether it was the dining hall or cafeteria at Bear's Den, or the cafeteria at Mallinkrodt Center, the food was amazing. Taco Bell and Subway is also inside the campus. Olin Library has a starbucks-quality coffee center while Ursa's near South40 has amazing icecream (think Coldstone), wraps, Starbucks coffee, and other things. It's open till 2AM.</p>
<p>The only thing I regret about visiting twice (will a third time for the multicultural event) is that I basically know/memorized the whole campus, so I won't feel that wonder of walking around the campus for the first time. Not that it's bad. :D</p>
<p>Wowww now that makes my mouth water :) Good ol American food! I am visiting in April (hopefully) and I will definitely check out all the foodstuffs .. and feed myself like a pig! :O</p>
<p>Wow. Although it is amusing to watch semp and faenix one-up each other on a board visited primarily nervous geeks, i felt compelled to chime in. </p>
<p>sempitern555, no matter where you end up, your greatest success will come if you change your attitude starting today. No, Wash U didn't swindle you, they didn't recruit you either. They gave you that warm and fuzzy feeling that all top schools do. After reading your stats/essays here: </p>
<p>I can see why they didn't accept you. I could only bear to get through the first essay, but it was abysmal. I can see you were going for the personal story (showing them who you are instead of telling them) but it really never came together. Especially when combined with those big words that really didn't add to the comprehension of the essay. Add that to a 1440 and i guess its not good enough even with your impressive ECs/courseload. I hope you do end up at a good school because you will probably do well, but like faenix said, take the rejection like a man and learn from it instead of trying to rationalize how they couldn't accept a genius like you. I hope you applied to a safety school farther down on the list than Wash U because it seems doubtful HYP will come a' calling. BTW, i got a chuckle clicking "view threads started by this user" and seeing a page of nothing but posts on HYP forums. I don't think any top school wants a person who has over 1400 posts on a forum like this...</p>
<p>mike why dont we wait until decisions come out before you tell me where I am going to end up and who will and wont accept me</p>
<p>as for the essays, they were an intital draft and I've actually been told by an adcom that my essay is great. I don't really care what you think my chances are and I'm glad you're not an adcom at one of the schools I'm applying to</p>
<p>as for the threads, I will post when and where I want to... thank you very much!</p>
