You have perfect grades and perfect test scores. Why would you say these “are not the best but you are hoping for the best”? That’s the reason I asked why stats were suddenly popping up. People posting perfect stats and amazing ec’s then saying “aw shucks I have no chance”. . . Not sure that really helps any nervous students on here with lesser stats, tbh. But to each their own, I guess.
@kibbles ur my goals
@kibbles i think that person is stretching the truth a bit…did you notice 7,000 hrs volunteering in Yemen, Pakistan etc… quite amusing wouldn’t you say? And this person has posted on other threads also.
I’m here just waiting to it decisions and all I see are these chance me posts with dead on amazing scores compared too mine. Makes the wait even worse
@kibbles I agree.
The dude is messing with us.
Probably. And how does that help anyone??
@MsSpiderGirl agreed. Rather poor taste I would say.
yes he or she is definitely messing with us. the poster stated they were a latina female, but they have a profile picture of donald trump. not saying such a situation cannot exist, but i dont know, not making any assumptions, but it all seems fishy.

Greetings True Bruins-
First, we want to say “Thank You!” to everyone who has indicated they will help us on Bruin Day this April 15th. We are still working on the logistics, but we did want to acknowledge that we have received your survey and how excited we are to have so many residents wanting to help.
We will be sending additional information as soon as we can, so watch for emails regarding tour guide training sessions, general helper responsibilities and/or guidelines for opening your room as a showroom. The actual scheduled shifts for Bruin Day will be finalized closer to the April 15th event.
Again, thank you! We have already ordered the Bruin Day t-shirts and are looking at some fun “giveaways” for our volunteers to show our appreciation. Stay tuned…
Sincerely,
Melissa Faybik
and
Mary Bower
