hater of capitalization</p>

<p>recs are good. essays should be good (hopefully).</p>

<p>heres the thing: i have a ridiculous amount of b’s. this will undoubtedly hurt me. what can i do?</p>

<p>Please go so see the Yale RD and SCEA decisions threads and compare yourself not to the kids who got accepted, but to those who got rejected.</p>

<p>SHOULD HAVE STARTED A CLUB but really capitalization is at the core of our way of life. are you some type of comma-ist?</p>
