<p>I've been drinking some hard apple cider for the last half-an-hour or so, which is probably why I'm even having this discussion. </p>
<p>m.kenien - Yes, I realized. The message was directed at Sachmoney, who is apparently from Boston.</p>
<p>But USC is in the US. The people who work in admissions are also probably in the US...so they probably share a view with us.</p>
<p>yes...Sachmoney...thats why i am going to inform them...</p>
<p>thanks for ur opinion...lads</p>
<p>I AM from Boston. Not apparently. I go to school in Cleveland though...for another week and a half. :)</p>
<p>For the record, but not that it really matters in regards to this thread, I'm female.</p>
<p>Sachmoney - Yeah, I should have guessed that seeing as though you're not just from "Boston", you're from "BOSTON" :P</p>
<p>Sachmoney Mapletree...</p>
<p>I think i shud have chosen the word "scrupulous"</p>
<p>meaning(s):
diligent, thorough, and attentive to details.
very concerned to avoid doing wrong.</p>
<p>Mapletree, why don't you try to conform?</p>
<p>Don't you want to be very concerned with doing right? instead of avoiding doing wrong?</p>
<p>wow this thread really took a weird turn.</p>
<p>Had to expect it, Scor. it's 3:25 AM out here. nothing good ever comes out at 3:25 am. Like Dave Chappelle somewhat said, "when is the last time you've ever taken $400 out at 3:00 AM for something positive?"</p>
<p>I would, stewart, but as you can see from the first page of this thread, I'm neurotic and anal-retentive.</p>
<p>stewart- that's so true. i should have made that my favorite quote when i applied last year. </p>
<p>and just for the record, i'm on the conformist typically has a negative connotation side</p>
<p>Scrupulous is better, but I have to direct you to the urbandictionary definiton which REALLY is completely incorrect, albeit funny:</p>
<ol>
<li>scrupulous<br></li>
</ol>
<p>A twin of monkeys that screw each other</p>
<p>Eg. "I went to the zoo and found that monkeys are very active"</p>
<p>mapletree, I was going to guess you were female, but I was hoping you would speak up about it because I didn't want to be wrong either way. I feel like anal-retentive should have other meanings.</p>
<p>The word anal-retentive certainly piques the imagination, doesn't it?</p>
<p>Yes, mine went wild.</p>
<p>That is until I looked it up, hoping for more meanings.</p>
<p>conformist? </p>
<p>you're bound for rejection!</p>
<p>That's not true SexyKoreanGirl.</p>
<p>Though it definitely warranted a double-take for me. It's not exactly a positive attribute. He could have found something...better to convey the same thing in a less "bleuh" way.</p>
<p>i have never in my life heard conformist in a positive way. honeslty one of two things is going to happen...
1. they're going to be confused as to why you consider yourself as having a negative attribute
2. they're going to think you dont understand english well</p>
<p>hopefully they wont care too much about it</p>
<p>milkdud... the way you use conformist is absolutely wrong....</p>
<p>a conformist by any definition is a person who follows the social conventions...</p>
<p>the word is wrongly used in US... but I will clarify it on Monday.</p>
