<p>greenexces, oops and of course this is why you are going to take a whole year off to reapply to Harvard in the slight hope that you might get into Harvard…</p>
<p>thanks for the info</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And would you stop putting words in my mouth, I never said HYP were much much better schools than wharton, arguably wharton is much better than YP for the business minded. I only wanted a more liberal arts education. Please stop now.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Awesome. I’m not embarrassed of anything I’ve said. I’ve even reposted your entire post again above.</p>
<p>None of the above changes the fact that you’ve been the least mature person on this thread, and have made both yourself and your classmates (by association) look bad. While I’m not embarrassed by disliking Princeton, I would be embarrassed to be widely regarded as an ass.</p>
<p>greenexcess, and being the bright international student that you are, you only applied to Penn and not HYPSM, particularly because as you have also stated you really like Harvard…</p>
<p>gee, that makes sense</p>
<p>wink wink</p>
<p>as stated before, it is obvious that you got shut out from all ivies except the easy one to get into…an now don’t feel that Penn is at the level of HYP so you are going to take a whole year off and reapply…that is how much lower you feel Penn is than HYPSM…</p>
<p>A complete and utterly total insult to the great institution that University of Pennsylvania is…</p>
<p>good luck though</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And seriously sont you have anything better to do? Like banging your girlfriend, hanging out with friends, working, having fun? Ohh no you are probably some loser guy that has nothing better to do put hang around these forumd, bully high school kids and boast that you are a princeton alum. Seriously is Princeton the best thing in you life? There is much more to life than that.</p>
<p>MSauce as mentioned by the other person that wrote this message to you - it is YOU that entered the Princeton thread and spent weeks upon weeks attacking anything Princeton. Why?..no one knows because it appears that you are happy in your Yale decision, so why go into the Princeton board after the fact and attack them?:</p>
<p>*MSauce</p>
<p>As a high school senior, you have had a very limited exposure to Princeton (apparently you visited on admitted students days and you might know one or two kids who go to the school), yet you apparently feel perfectly entitled to post on Princeton’s numerous (according to you) failings. In the last two weeks or so, you have posted negatively about (i) the honor code (and the fact that you only got a one page summary of it in your admitted students packet), (ii) the fact that Princeton gives more weight to stats than the other HYPS schools (something, by the way, you are completely wrong about), (iii) that Princeton will take more kids off the waitlist than the other HYPS schools, (iv) that Woody Woo is a horribly competitive program which only takes in 50% of applicants, whereas the Yale EPE program, which also takes in 50% of its applicants, is not a horribly competitive program, (v) that politics is a second class major at Princeton, (vi)that the eating clubs are hideously snobbish and exclusive and no one really wants to be in a sign-in club, (vii) that you were unable to really see the eating clubs, because the administration wouldn’t let you in to said terrible clubs during admitted students days, (viii) that Princeton’s campus is too beautiful and safe as compared to Yale, where you will have the opportunity to make a difference in the community and (ix) the fact that Princeton’s lack of a medical school should scare off potential pre-meds.</p>
<p>I’m thinking that you’re going to have some trouble at Yale next year, considering, as you put it, that "it is against the Yale policy to compare themselves to *</p>
<p>I’ve been reading the posts of JohnAdams12 on this thread and many other threads for some time now. He’s pretty hard to avoid, having apparently posted over 1500 contributions on many different schools, topics and issues, at all times of the day and night, since his listed “join” date of February 2010. And yet, on a CC website filled with its fair share of know-it-all, elitist, obnoxious, and deluded posters, he takes the prize.</p>
<p>Although I know nothing about JohnAdams12’s background other than what has been referenced in prior posts, it is difficult for me to believe that this individual could be associated in any way with an upright, classy institution such as Princeton. He seems to be a caricature of the stereotypical “Ivy League swell” that you often see in comedy movies: snobbish, arrogant, and clueless or indifferent about how his personality offends or antagonizes others. His unrelenting and over-the-top responses against anyone who dares challenge or question his views, including high school students and those posting for entertainment value only, is truly pathetic and very “■■■■■-like.” </p>
<p>I must confess that I long ago abandoned any respect that I had for JohnAdams12 based upon his opinions and his ubiquitous contributions, so I don’t take any of his posts seriously. Others, of course, are free to disagree with me (and if you do, don’t worry: I won’t come after you by parsing your prior posts and whining that your opinions are “vicious” or constitute “attacks,” like someone else we all know). I simply think that JohnAdams12 should exhibit more respect and less hubris when he chooses to express his opinions under the cover of the anonymity that this board affords.</p>
<p>And I’ll close with this thought. Someone who is fortunate enough to attend an “elite” college or university is not necessarily an “elite” student or an “elite” individual. Anybody who enters the real-life working world (after leaving the fantasy academic world) learns this lesson very quickly.</p>
<p>Dude, what the hell? Why are you assuming things about me that aren’t true. I know I also asumed that you are a loser but cmon, we all know that’s true ;)</p>
<p>greenexcess, I see that the personal insults continue</p>
<p>sorry, by I am not the one that failed to get into HYPSM and after accepting the Penn admittance is now going to renege and take a year off just at the slight chance of getting into Harvard upon the second try…</p>
<p>good luck there though</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Let me beat JohnAdams to the punch in his reply to JusttheFacts</p>
<p>[insert comments made by JTF on other threads here]</p>
<p>You went to (school X, not Princeton). Wow, that University is not selective at all. How dare you? Clearly, your opinions about me mean nothing, as my College is much more selective, wealthy, and incredible than yours is.</p>
<p>How DARE you insult me?</p>
<p>How DARE YOU? Your school is ok, I guess…</p>
<p>greenexcess, you have used the word “loser” in every one of your attacks…</p>
<p>my definition of loser would be more like being an International high school student that fails to get into his favorite schools, HYPSM, gets into what he considers a subpar Ivy (purely on what he thinks), takes the acceptance, then changes his mine and is willing to take a whole year off to reapply to HYPSM in the small hope that he might be able to con his way into one of those schools in the second try…</p>
<p>now, that is what I would call a “loser”, don’t you think?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why do you keep saying I got rejected at HYP I DIDNT APPLY FOR HEAVENS SAKE! Don’t you have anything else to tell me but an utter lie? Go re-read my first post you quoted where it clearly sais I did not apply.</p>
<p>My definition of loser is the general one, look it up.</p>
<p>The best way to beat a ■■■■■ is to ignore it</p>
<p>ha!..I just realized</p>
<p>“just<em>the</em>facts”</p>
<p>is the Tufts alumnus that denies being a graduate of Tufts but goes around the Internet attempting to make it an equal to the Ivies, Amherst and Williams, and trying real real hard at this, I might add…</p>
<p>anyone that knows much about Tufts and Tufts Syndrome would know what I mean.</p>
<p>that says it all</p>
<p>Tufts Syndrome is when a school that is just below HYPSM-caliber (Tufts, WUSTL, etc.) waitlists students who they deem HYPSM-worthy and unlikely to attend, isn’t it?</p>
<p>greenexcess. listen - enjoy taking your year off because Penn, in your opinion, is no where near HYSM, your favorites schools that you claimed are so great, yet never applied to.</p>
<p>My guess is that you will be shut out and that Penn will not take you back so that you might just have to attend college in your country instead, which wouldn’t be a bad idea after all, would it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Honesto, I wouldn’t put Tufts in the same sentence with WashUStl, it is a tier below…but yes…</p>
<p>Tufts is closer to the level of Boston University, Boston College, NYU and Norhteastern, all good schools of course.</p>
