acceptance rates usually don't mean jack if you told half of texas to apply to the university of south carolina and their acceptance rate is 4 percent it doesnt make it a good school, it just means that a lot of people applied. SAT and Class Rank on the other hand do make a difference.

Am I the only one boggled by the complete lack of logic in that......... pile of words (Lord knows, it's not a sentence or paragraph)?</p>

If they are so selective why is that the one kid from my school that is the only kid in my school who applied to WP, and who got in, had stats consideraby lower than the rest of us.

<p>Because he probably has talents and abilities that you don't recognize, nor would appreciate if you did.</p>

I don't even think he's in the top 10 percent, let alone the top 5 percent. But , that's expected being that only 49 percent are within the top 10 percent. You can say what you want about historical contributions or other phony things, but my sources on RANK and SAT of admitted applicants came from US NEWS, are they bogus now too?

And how terrible, that the lunatics tried to stop this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:TrangBang.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:TrangBang.jpg</a>
That picture is everywhere and half the world has seen it so don't gibber about it being from wiki. Those children must have been guerilla fighters, seeing that they look like they are maybe 8, right? How terrible people were that they were trying to stop this. The humanity. Have you guys ever heard of the My Lai Massacre. Or are you just trying to forget because it shakes your beliefs? And speaking of that "glorious war" most credible sources believe that over 2 million civilians were killed by American and South Viets. Not fighters, civilians, innocent bystanders.
Didn't you say earlier that if the President passed some crazy law legalizing rape it would be up to people to resist it . That's what students at Berkeley, Columbia, the University of Wisconsin, and Kent State did. Remember Kent State?

<p>Ain't war a b**ch? </p>
<p>Sorry, but I don't cry for the enemies of my country. If you're going to count innocent dead, please don't forget Dresden or the fact the we nuked two Japanese cities. I, for one, and damn proud that this nation waged total war when it needed to, and I'm disappointed that we're not doing it now.</p>

In regards to Berkeley, financial need plays no factor in the admissions decisions, being a need-blind school. How is it for the high and mighty? Actually you get points if you come from a disadvantaged socio-economic background, we have affirmative action, because we don't hate black people. If you in Podunk are so great why did you have Jim Crow Laws until the 1960's!! funny , you were yelling bloody murder at the nazis for attacking jews, but the treatment of blacks in the country wasn't exactly something to brag about. And it was in the South not the North or that Krazy Kalifornia that had Jim Crow Laws. Care to explain that one?

<p>You really are clueless, aren't you? You are so blinded by your abject rage toward all things American that you can't even realize just how totally stupid and disjointed you sound.</p>
<p>Tell you what, buddy. You go to Berzerkley. Bring your prayer rug. Shout your slogans. Just remember one thing: when this country gets ticked off, it tends to seriously get the job done.</p>
<p>Gone are the days when you and your ilk could blind the American people by controlling the media and lying through your teeth. Gone are the days where you could paint our military as a bunch of maurauding murderers. We know who you are, and the fact that, despite all the negative press, all the money from George Soros and others, all the propaganda films by Michael Moore, all the lies spread by the Democrats, your candidate STILL had his ass handed to him on a plate proves it.</p>
<p>You are lucky we are a civilized nation who even tries to fight wars with restraint. Were it up to me, I'd have the American armed forces in Iraq face east and start walking forward, slaughtering everything in sight, until they reached water. I would have fused the Middle East in one giant glow-in-the-dark glass-covered parking lot on September 12th, and damn the outcry. You wouldn't have to worry about facing to pray to Mecca because it would be in orbit, so no matter where you lifted your ass to pray would be equally valid. To borrow a phrase from a fellow alumni, the Koran would have been read only in hell.</p>
<p>Your lack of understanding of American history is appalling. Sure, you know all the right buzzwords, pictures and dates, but you have no earthly clue how they fit together or how far we've come. To hate so much at age 17 can only come from a mental disease or a complete imersion in radical Islam. I suspect you suffer from both. The fact you are going to Berzerkley surprises me not one bit. They probably will think you are a great, enlightened intellect. The fact is you are a hate-filled, ignorant, ****ant.</p>
<p>There was a time not too long ago where people like you were rounded up and imprisoned for sedition and treason. By democrats, even. We are long past that time now. </p>
<p>Again, put your money where your mouth is. Get on a plane, fly to Bahgdad, pick up an AK, and live out your fantasy of being a holy warrior against the Great Satan. Go on. I'll make sure your 72 virgins are waiting for you.</p>
