Is it just me or has it gotten old. I like going to this site because I can talk about college stuff w/o ppl knowing who I am because I noticed college discussions with friends has now become a sore subject. And it sucks because my friends didnt get into some of the colleges I got into so it makes it a lot harder. Anybody noticed that too?
<p>Not for me, but only because nobody applied to my top choice schools</p>
<p>i agree, steaky... college admissions is the worst. All of a sudden, im competing with my friends. I want to know where everyone in my class is going.. but Im getting sick of asking, and afraid, that I will get in somewhere they didn't, or that they'll get in somewhere I won't. This is especially bad for my U of C app, because two of my classmates are also applying there, theres no way we all get in, and one of the two I hate, and the other I love but there is no way she is going there because she'll for sure get in to Columbia or Dartmouth or something....</p>
<p>At least this makes me kind of glad I also applied to obscure places that theyve never heard of because theyre small minded, like reed and oberlin.</p>
<p>hah, the city, i feel like i applied to nearly the same schools as you. uchicago, reed, oberlin, smith, hampshire, mac and st johns were mine.</p>
<p>I tend to keep quiet about where I am going..... most of the time, I find out where my friends got accepted to simply by overhearing a conversation.</p>
<p>i used to not care about this college thing as much
lol when i found out i got into ucsd, i was like ok thats nice
and went on surfing the net... parents went crazy though, but guess all parents r like that</p>
<p>but i dunno i guess a couple hours later, it hit... college, i cant wait
man i wish i could go right now
and i even started posting here frequently
kinda addicting lol</p>
<p>yeah I have problems discussing with my friends since many of them got into UCLA so they don't even care about college anymore, while I'm still nervously waiting for UCI. Blah.</p>
<p>Yea, I get what you mean. except im on the other end. i feel terrible that i'm having a great month adn have been really fortunate while many have been unlucky. i have learned to keep my mouthshut now because i dont wanna cause any hard feelings and that turns into dislike for me.</p>
<p>its cyclical for us who've been on CC. this happens every year.</p>
