<p>What about a polar bear attack?</p>

<p>I disagree, I think creativity and imagination are closely related. Telling someone to be more creative is basically telling someone to use their imagination.</p>

<p>But anyways, that’s your biggest fear? I’m jealous. I’d rather fear being hit by a campus bus than not getting into my dream school.</p>

haha. americans dont really need to worry about that. canadians worry about that constantly. i mean just last month, by beaver got into a fight with a polar bear…
;)</p>

<p>Not being happy with my SAT scores… having tunnel vision and missing out on an exceptional school because of automatic top 10 percent acceptance in Texas.</p>

45

<p>“And getting into my dream school, and not being able to go for financial reasons.”</p>

<p>My absolute biggest fear.
My second isn’t admissions related–it’s the fact that if I am able to go to my dream school/any private school, I’ll be $200,000 in debt.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Scary thought.</p>

47

<p>Believe it or not, Yale is the safest bet for me. Numerous factors, I won’t mention them.</p>

48

<p>That my ECs and essays seem fake and/or not passionate enough.</p>

<p>I’m worried about financial aid, yes, but I suppose I don’t have as hardcore of a dream school as some of you guys, and I also have some excellent and cheap alternatives instate.</p>

Our polar bears at the zoo spend most of their time sleeping. I still wouldn’t want to be behind the bars…

Alaskans are Americans too.</p>

<p>Come on, say it with me!</p>

<p>Alaskans are Americans too! Alaskans are Americans too! ALASKANS ARE AMERICANS TOO!!!</p>

<p>:P</p>

<p>Mine would be not getting accepted at MIT or Princeton. I’d REALLY hate to have to attend a local college or something since I’ve always aimed for schools like MIT/Princeton, for civil (structural) engineering.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I was wondering about this during the last election cycle.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s what they said on SNL a couple nights back. Then two NY Times reporters got killed by polar bears, one on a snowmobile.</p>

<br>

<p>I never said we weren’t crazy… ;)</p>

53

<p>Ending up at University of Florida.</p>

54

<p>WOW ansar!!</p>

<p>I think my school has 1800-2000 kids and it’s lucky if 3 or 4 get in to UF (solely on academics, one kid is going there only because he’s one of the best baseball players in the whole state)… but pffft so many people would kill to get in!</p>

<p>Including me… Just need my test scores up!!</p>

55

<p>if i end up in my local community college, well…that’s sure gonna be scary.</p>

56

<p>my biggest fear: getting rejected to every single UC (even UCR) that I apply to. :(</p>
