Would you make other people feel bad if you got into HYP?

<p>^^^I correctly expotulated that using a relatively small sample size.</p>

<p><a href=“http://xkcd.com/605/[/url]”>http://xkcd.com/605/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I am on of the 3 HYP guys in the last four years.</p>

<p>^I’m the only one accepted to H in the past eight years —> kind of sad :confused: We’ve never had anyone accepted to P :(.</p>

<p>^I lawled, thanks. But ‘expotulated’ is rather off.</p>

<p>No, I wouldn’t (and haven’t) because I’m not a pretentious ******bag.</p>

<p>^^Haha, no making fun of my grammar (or lack of mathematical ability) :p</p>

<p>Or spelling.</p>

<p>Pathetic imbeciles!</p>

<p>I go to a giant school with like 700 kids in my graduating class. We probably have one a year, if that, go to a school like HYPSM. (I hope to be that one haha) anyway… Most kids there have no idea of what’s going on in reality, so they wouldn’t even care, while the small handful of kids that even bothered to apply to those schools (maybe about 3 or so) would be upset. If I happen to be the “one” I certainly wouldn’t be an arrogant jerk about it. I might throw a dance party in my room by myself, but that’s about it. Besides it’s high school, where the real world doesn’t matter and matching your clothes is more important than a good education :slight_smile: the only way I might even consider bringing it up is if another kid made fun of me or called me stupid. I don’t take kindly to bullying, toward myself, my friends, or anyone for that matter. Yay passive aggressive retaliation…!</p>

<p>^^^yes, or speling. Or being able to read posts properly (referring to how I completely misread what you wrote the other day)…</p>

<p><em>Fail</em> :(</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think you just jinxed me. :(</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>For a brief moment, I wished you had written this on Facebook. ;)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Honestly, I think that most schools are like that - mine certainly is. Though we had a student go to Harvard about 6 years ago, our school has such a high (teacher) turnover rate that no one remembers, so the reaction to an acceptance into a so-called prestigious institution is :eek:.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Eh, I do this all the time. Don’t stress it - we can be foolish on anonymous online boards together. :)</p>

<p>^ The reactions in my school are more of a “You go into Harvard…? Me too.”</p>

<p>^I’ll remember to say that to you next year on April first.</p>

<p>^^Great, I have company :).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You don’t go to a normal school, bro.</p>

<p>

This is HSL, there shall be no chancing here.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I am willing to stake all of my scholarship funds that you will get an acceptance into one of those three. All. Of. Them.</p>

<p>

Then why did you capitalize “Elite”? It is neither a proper noun nor a noun at all in this context.

Uh, that would actually be awesome. Unlike bragging about college admissions.</p>

<p>^Oh, I agree. For the convenience of all who may later stumble upon this thread, I have affixed a [how-to</a> guide](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yRme0C2pmI]how-to”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yRme0C2pmI) to aid those who may be uncertain of how to proceed.</p>

<p>^^^^How do you know I won’t be saying it as an April Fool’s joke? I said April first after all…</p>

<p>I kid I kid :). Best of luck (and I didn’t mean to jinx anything).</p>

<p>*logging out</p>

<p>^ Haha yeah, college admissions decisions should NOT be released on April Fool’s, what a bad idea</p>

<p>When people asked me for my April 1 results I made a much bigger deal of getting waitlisted at Y, which I adored, than of being accepted at Harvard, about which I was apathetic, and at Dartmouth, about which I had already known. I wasn’t “quiet” about it though. No reason to be secretive.</p>

<p>Yeah… I know how people will react if I brag. Reason why I keep my test scores to myself unless someone asks. Then they go back feeling that they failed if they didn’t beat me.</p>
