DHL- Didn't you claim on another thread that you are friends with a Harvard admissions counselor and they explained their point system to you?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Yes and no. By all means, im not friend with any of Harvard adcom members, but yes I do remember that one person who claims that he works for Harvard Adcom explaining the point system to me. This, I'm not lying. If he was lying about the point system, then he is to blame, NOT ME, for passing on the wrong info. Seriously, I thought I went over this long time ago, why bring this up now?</p>

Honestly they don't look at the exact time each one was turned in and make sure they go in order. I am sure they just devy them up as they come in.

<p>have u ever worked for adcom? How are you so sure about this?
Me, I'm basing my statement on personal experiences of my friends, my relatives, and myself. Two people with very similar stat. One turned his application the first day, the other person turned his application near the deadline date. The first person gets in, the other person didn't get in. From this, I do not believe that the time you turn your application do not impact your admission at all, cuz im sure they do to some degree.</p>
<p>and Sweetny007, you said "It might change when you receive your decision so maybe you will find out a week later than you otherwise would." Isn't this kind of proving the fact that the adcom actually go through the application in the order they received it? But in your next statement, you said that adcom do not make sure they go in order. Tehse two statements kind of contradict each other. If the adcom do not make sure they review application in order, why are you saying the earlier you turn you application in, the earlier you receive your decision?</p>

dhl3- i dont know too much about the fee waiver, how do you qualify, apply etc... i appreciate any insight .....

</p>
<p>well it seems like you've already joined in the "dhl3-is-a-lying-bastard" squad along with cardinal and sweetny007, so i don't want to risk being called liar again. </p>
<p>How am I sure that they don't look at the exact times...well common sense mostly. </p>
<p>"Me, I'm basing my statement on personal experiences of my friends, my relatives, and myself. "</p>
<p>So am I, as I mentioned in my previous post. Did the two people you know write the exact same essay too?? Also in your previous posts you said that one hundred percent of the time when you turn in your application it will affect the admissions decisions now you are saying it might affect it a little bit. That is quite contradictory. As I said they probably devy them up as they come in. For example (since apparently I wasn't clear enough) If 100 applications come in on day one rather then go through to see which minute each one arrived the adcoms most likely will split them up between themselves. Let's say there are 4 adcoms and each gets 25 applications, now adcom 4 works faster and completes all of their applications first. This would mean that the first 25 people to send in their application did not get their decision first because their applications went to adcom 1 who did not work quite as fast. Do you honestly believe they would slow down the process in order to make sure that each application was looked at in the order received?? This also proves my other point. All one hundred applicants should receive their decisions around the same time although probably not in the exact same order. </p>
<p>The Harvard thing was brought up because you tend to be overdramatic and state your opinions as facts. Also I never called you any names...I am simply calling you out for misrepresenting yourself but as is your style you are being overdramatic. Anyway I wish you the best of luck with your admissions.</p>

<p>Sure you don't have to actually directly call someone a name to express it. From my stance, it definitely seemed like you were mocking me of lying, and by bringing up that Harvard thing (and the way you worded it), it seemed like you are telling everyone here that I'm not someone to be trusted. </p>

<p>I am sorry you feel so insecure. I am simply stating common sense. It is interesting that you chose to ignore my entire argument. You also did that in your last post. You stated something that was your opinion and defended as if it were a fact. I don't want new posters to come on and think that what you are saying is the reality when in many cases it is not. If you don't agree with me then fine. If you want to ignore my evidence than fine but don't say that I called you names to distract people from what really happened.</p>
<p>DHL- its all good, its just that this all started by you claiming something that wasnt really backed up by conrete evidence except for your own personal experience. It would be unfortunate if someone took your claim very seriously and rushed their application through so they could get it in early when it could have been better and unrushed. </p>
<p>We arent calling you names at all... i am just a little perplexed with your reasoning about certain issues and how you state them to be fact. </p>
<p>"try the crab cakes.....they're magnificent".......</p>
<p>fine do whatever you want.
turn it on the last day of the application deadline, I like mine being done earlier cuz I don't tend to procrastinate. But everyone has their style.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone.
and good luck to you too sweetny007.</p>
<p>well now that you guys have had your cyber argument, can someone answer my question this time? I want to know which uc's i should be looking at. my stats are:</p>
<p>major: urban studies
prereqs- done by fall
GPA: 3.55 overall (3.87 at my CC and 2.4 at Univ. of Colorado)
Applying(in order of preference): CAL, san diego, santa barbara, irvine, davis, los angeles, santa cruz, riverside, merced
current E.C.'s-
Volunteer Wrestling Coach 10hrs/wk.
Internship in City Planning Department (paid) 20hrs/wk.
Assistant Clerk in City Planning Department (paid) 20hrs/wk.
Astronomical Society 5 hrs/wk.</p>
<p>I got a question. It may have been asked already but I'm too lazy to scan thru this entire thread so here it goes:</p>
<p>Some of the honors classes from my school (History 11 Honors, for example) doesn't register on my application as CCCT, but when I put in just the regular class (History 11), it does. Also, I'm in TAP/Honors, so I assume that it is crucial for me to indicate it is an honors class.</p>
<p>So my question is: how/where do I indicate that it's an honors class? Also, is am I just being paranoid, or do I really need to show that they are honors classes? After all, for UCLA, CCCs send out their list of TAP students and therefore will tell the adcoms that my classes are indeed honors courses...</p>
