<p>sherpa, I’m not doing this just for the prestige. It’s been my dream for as long as I can remember.</p>
<p>“Ds went to Sleep-Away Camp for a week last summer, and there was nothing, I repeat, nothing that he could use to put down on his resume or even use to get ahead next year at school.”</p>
<p>My dd has a 2.5 GPA and has eaten graham crackers on occasion. Do you think that is sufficient to be admitted to Sleep-Away Camp? I’m so worried.</p>
<p>skrlvr,
Just don’t expect that if your S cured cooties, that the Intel finalist award he wins will get him into Hahvahd. It’s not a useful hook AT ALL.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Apology graciously accepted. Just think sherpa, you’re way ahead of me in the race for full membership.</p>
<p>Well, my DS’s friend just won the Questbridge, but to NOTRE DAME. We are holding a vigil for this young man. He is so crestfallen. </p>
<p>He has been pining for HYP since Lamaze.</p>
<p>thanks vballmom. Now if you wouldn’t mind, I’d like you to distract Harriet with a long drawn out series of private message exchanges so I catch her post count. If you’ll do that for me, I’ll ask my son to edit your son’s essays.</p>
<p>bump (10 char)</p>
<p>don’t worry sherpa you’re still one ahead of me—I know I don’t really count since I went to (a city university) there I said it I outed myself–I’m so humiliated</p>
<p>^^ Very nice.</p>
<p>^^ Very Nice.</p>
<p>Edit: Whoops, double post. How ever did that happen?</p>
<p>I have something to say in response to that.</p>
<p>I can’t remember what it is. I’m sure it will come back to me though.</p>
<p>Also: “1. This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between posts. Please try again in 1 seconds.” Hmmmph. I bet REAL Members can post more often. Prestige really does convey a lot of benefits.</p>
<p>hmm, mine says must wait 30 seconds…must be the graduate degree from prestigious State U</p>
<p>(Harriet, you are truly shameless. I love it.)</p>
<p>Especially now that I am a SENIOR MEMBER. </p>
<p>Great congrats all around here.</p>
<p>WASHDAD: the roomba, please!</p>
<p>Okay, I’ve made a spreadsheet showing the rate of increase in my posts over the last twelve weeks. S2 has created a PowerPoint (with soundtrack) showing, via animated 3D representations, how my knowledge - which is more substantial and right-minded than anyone else’s, by the way - has contributed to the overall understanding of everyone who reads this thread. (The little scamp! I thought he was coloring!)</p>
<p>Would anybody like to read my appeal letter to the CC Admins?</p>
<p>My son has programmed a bot that will efficiently post to this thread every 60 seconds, thus raising the user’s post count as fast as possible. He’ll be auctioning it on his eBay store. Bids start at $99999. He doesn’t really need the money as his store is already one of the biggest on eBay (and was the topic of one of his essays - thanks for the offer, sherpa, but he’s already finished all of his essays for the fall application season).</p>
<p>To OP- The answer is- yes. </p>
<p>To others here- did you even read OP’s post? Sheesh!!</p>
<p>Your son is helping you with your appeal? Wow, some kids don’t know when to stop helicoptering. You obviously lack passion if you are relying on your son to help you with this endeavor.</p>
<p>Oh, sure, we’ve all heard the excuses: He’s got plenty of time, you already work so hard all day, you have so many hobbies. What’s the harm? HA!</p>
<p>Be sure your S doesn’t auction the bot under his real name or it’ll be added to the EFC…</p>
