<p>Good point Boysx3.</p>
<p>should i mention the fact that I was the only who got a B in the class after getting a zero on the final, showing that I had a strong A to begin with, or is that unnecessary since they can see it on my transcript anyway?</p>
<p>thank you</p>

<p>I have been "out" for a while, but the above question just hit me as more of the same problem. last comment, but an important one. I am going to use your question to show you what an adult reader sees is just Missing in your point of view...Please think on this, because schools you are applying to will have plenty of kids with good grades. Here is what I would like to have read:</p>
<p>Although I had a strong A in the class, and the zeros handed out for exam grades brought me down to a final grade of B, that was the least of my consequences. I had a harder burden to carry and one that I think about a lot more as I get older. Because I led several buddies down a foolish alley, the zeros they got for exam grades really gauged their GPRs more than mine. I often think about this looking back, and realize I bear responsiblity for this specific consequence that hurt my friends more than it ended up hurting me. I can't believe that they have forgiven me, but they have and because of this experience, I have a different outlook on how friendship can be used for good or ill. As I leave this institution and reflect on my friendships during my junior and senior years, I appreciate....</p>
<p>Excellent, Faline. That is an excellent slant and truly is what the AdComms will want to see (if it is sincere, of course).</p>
<p>Oh Gawd! Please don't write the boy's essay for him. Yes, this is what ADComms want to see, but I see no real evidence of this kid's real remorse - just anger amd bitterness over reactions to his transgressions, and now an attempt to smooth away the problem with an essay. (which you've just help him write!) He's cocky, and he doesn't really take responsibility for his actions - in fact, seems to still think that they are minor! He screws up, he has an excuse. He screws up, he has an excuse. He screws up, he has an excuse. (Is it over yet?)</p>
<p>anxiousmom, u need to pop a xanax.</p>
<p>hahaha.</p>
<p>this thread is getting freaky. all these moms are having too much fun pressuring me like they pressure their poor, sheltered, stressed out kids.</p>
<p>"Get into harvard, OR ELSE!"</p>
<p>ok, for the millionth time, i greatly appreciate all the advice the ppl who actually care have given me, but if others hate me so much, then why on earth do you post lol. honestly. </p>
<p>theres so much more i wanna say lol cuz it really would bring me pleasure to point out your deficiencies, just as you find pleasure in scolding me. but uhh, i dont wanna stoop to your level. well i do, but i really dont have the free time (something you "moms" seem to have a bit too much of, racking up thousands of posts on cc) to do so.</p>
<p>so um, no need to post on this thread anymore cuz youve given me your advice, i accept it, and thank you for it. thats it. for those of you who are so eager to
, u can leave me alone now, and move on with your...lives?</p>

<p>GRATEFUL Bhikku, it seems that you have chosen a rather ironic screen name for yourself. It would be nice, if you did indeed show a bit of gratitude to "these moms" for taking time out of their day to answer your questions and offer you some excellent advice. </p>
<p>But, since you asked, sure, we'll all move on and stop trying to help you. After all, there are plenty of other people here on CC who not only need and appreciate the help "these moms" give, but also know how to say thank you when honest help is offered, even if it is not what they want to hear. We don't need to waste any more time trying to help you because you apparently already know it all. Good luck in your future endeavors.</p>
<p>dont make me out to be ungrateful. ive thanked those who have offered advice repeatedly, and ive made it clear that i apprecaite the advice of those who wanted to help, but found really irritating those who just wanted to scold me.</p>
<p>its like you dont even listen.</p>
