[/ul]Reflection[list]
[</em>] Strengths: perfect GPA while still maintaining the strongest possible courseload; dedication to student council beyond school; my essay
[*] Weaknesses: white male, extracurriculars aren’t extremely stellar or anything</p>
<p>I won’t be too far from Penn so maybe I’ll come visit and join in the fun =)</p>
<p>swarthmore? haverford? drexeL?</p>
<p>Honeybunny: the preview before post feature would really benefit you. </p>
<p>Oh, and you better not be chinese, or Asian for that matter, because if you are, you are a disgrace to my entire race you arrogant twat. I hope I won’t be seeing you at Wharton next year cause your rescind letter is in the mail you ignorant jerk.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Less hilarious and more logical if you think in context. Your 2260 is definitely impressive, but it does not elevate you to the status of being able to go around spitting on anybody who got less than a 2200. Now the SATs are a test, and like any test, you need skill to do well. Not necessarily knowledge or great brains, skill. The SAT is a test you have a to game, not a test you have to study rigorously for. Granted, not everybody has the capability to do so, but even within those who can, there are idiots. Scoring above a 2200 is definitely impressive, although you’ll have to do more than that before you get your deity title.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Absolutely. This is an absolutely 100% true statement…until you think about the fact that philly is a very different city from Cambridge, New Haven or Palo Alto. Furthermore, this notion that being a HYPS reject (harsh word) puts you at the dregs of society is a very interesting one. From your point of view, anybody who fails at these four prestigious universities are destined to fail in life. If we’re to believe this, then that means most of humanity should be dead…Darwin sure screwed up huh? </p>
<p>
You’re hoping to be a very close mirror image of Donald Trump and you’re hoping Wharton will transform you into that. Unfortunately, your upbringing and environment has already transformed you into a massive tool and that sets you on a one way path for being as popular in life as you are around here. </p>
<p>
Ok, a few things. I think you’d benefit from learning that if you’re going to be condescending, you have to make a post without errors. Not knowing the difference between advice and advise, or constructing a sentence as god-awful as “‘Feel free to apply to CAS or SEAS where they students it is generally much "lesser’.” kind of backfires on you. Your main point is that a 2200 on the SATs is a minimal requirement to get into Wharton. People have already proved to you otherwise with students who have been accepted into Wharton without the 2200. Obviously, reemphasizing this point to you would be useless, since oddly, for someone who clearly did very well on his critical reading section in the SATs, you seemingly suck at reading and interpreting the posts of others, I won’t bother.</p>
<p>
As I’ve mentioned previously, many Wharton admits may experience what you have outlined but unfortunately, the fact that you’re a massive tool overshadows the impressive title of “Wharton” on your resume.</p>
<p>Have a fun time at Wharton, and congrats to all the Penn admits.</p>
<p>Now everybody can stop feeding the ■■■■■. You may look, but don’t feed.</p>
<p>■■■■■ or not, why waste your time arguing over ridiculous sh</p>
<p>The sad part is that there ARE a few kids like that at Penn, ■■■■■ or not.</p>
<p>Sad part is there are a few kids like that at every school</p>
<p>Sad part is that Wharton students can make more than 80-90 with bonuses</p>
<p>i really can’t believe that people like HoneyBunny might be joining us at Wharton come fall…</p>
<p>guys… alright… truth be told i love a good internet battle. Yet, i will stop feeding the ■■■■■ out of respect for my future classmates wishes ;). Ha I love thinkin about that. But… can we just threaten to beat his ass the second he gets to school so he doesn’t enroll?? I mean honestly one of us could room with this prick! Let’s just whoop his ass and settle all this. This reccesion is supposedly a byproduct of corporate greed. Well I see another Enron exec in this forum, and out of resepct for future people’s fortunes that can be ruined by this prick. I saw we whoop the f-u-cck out of him. I might be a stupid hick out of ohio who grew up on a farm all his life, who probably is less mature than most of you and unable to control himself, but god damn this kid is a real loser.</p>
<p>Lol, hey pahka, I’m graduating with hicks (moved to hickland Canada from Toronto and loving it! 
)</p>
<p>haha the ivy-hick… it will be a stereotpe soon.</p>
<p>“He enjoys sitting down and reading a good book, as long as he can do it in the back of his pickup truck. Commonly seen wearing a cardigan or tweed and sporting a camoflauge trucker hat. Known for ridiculous alcoholism, but the ability to beat a hangover with a cup of earl grey tea. Teeth optional…pocket protector… mandatory”</p>
<p>lol, copyright the movement while you can!
Ugh we still have chunks of snow up here but I can’t wait to start riding again in the fields</p>
<p>haha snows been gone for weeks here. haha butt my dirtbike is currently non-functional because i didn’t put stabilizer in over the winter and I have to clean out the carb. haha i should add that to the stereotype. “Unable to take care of simple equipment… but will kill you if you mess with his hard drive.”</p>
<p>Go mudboarding in the meantime? Insanely fun in sloshy melting snow + clay mixture!
Hahaha I was finger painting with my kid brother and he mauled my laptop with paint. I’m just glad that it’s still functionning</p>

<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info: Congrats to all who were accepted!</p>
<p>Are you implying that kids from UNC are below you or are less intelligent? I’m sorry, sir, but you are sadly mistaken. </p>
<p>Sure, a company may hire someone with a Wharton degree over someone with a KF degree, but as soon as your boss picks up on your pretentious, brown nosing aura/attitude, you’ll be out on your honeybunny a$$ and a UNC graduate will fill your former position. Good luck, you pedantic pile of garbage! :)</p>
