<p>just get rid of it</p>

<p>Ilcapo…your EC’s are nothing short of outstanding, so I woudn’t exactly give up hope. They do look at those applications with the “whole picture” in mind.</p>

<p>If you’re in trouble, then I’m in trouble, too. I have no rank at all.</p>

6

<p>ilcapo-there are 5%. the class of 2007, for example, had 1178 members. That means 59 people were not in top 10%.</p>

7

<p>yeah…i am retaining a miniscule amount of hope! </p>

<p>i figure 40 of those are athletes, 15 of those are URMs, 3 of them are legacies, and im the 59th.</p>

8

<p>maybe that 7.1% first generation college stat will pull through in the end for me…</p>

9

<p>You’re first generation? That surprises me…I thought you were really rich. I guess I thought really rich people tend to have college-educated parents. Guess not. I mean I know it happens, but I’d guess on the whole that’d be true.</p>

10

<p>Yeah, well check out the ■■■■■■■ on the people who got accepted to Princeton last year. Everyone who got in was number 1 and 1550+. ALL OF THEM. Now check the rejects, they are like us. 5th in class… low 1500’s… strong ECs. Man we’re totally screwed.</p>

11

<p>you’re doing yourself a disservice if you rely on the 23-questionable-■■■■■■■ acceptees.</p>

12

<p>Exactly. The Internet is not a microcosm, folks. Not by any means. 500 people versus 23 online…hmmm…yeah, no.</p>

13

<p>where do you go to find the stats of the people that got accepted to princeton ED last year? or even RD?</p>
