<p>Wow… O_o Everyone here’s insane. (how do you FIND time to do all those ec’s thinkpink???) I also got invited to the camp this Sunday, but I’m not going to post my stats. It’s a given that all of us are kick-butt in academics and extracurriculars, but listing them makes me all anxious and self-conscious of my own achievements and wonder if I can measure up to others… To me, it seems like I’m being reduced down to and judged by people I’ve never met by mere numbers (SATs/GPAs), stuff I participate in (I do admit, though, many of my EC’s are because they’re for college), and even ethnicity (hehe… I’m not much of a fan of affirmative action). I hope there’s others who feel the same way… ^^;; Anyhow, that’s just my opinion. I’ll see you all there and I’ll try to find you guys!!</p>

<p>greetings from mudd. i wish you the best in college search.</p>

<p>just a piece of advice: i thought this place was going to be hard. it is much harder than i thought. (pass/fail is nice though for 1st semester)</p>

7

<p>Did anyone who applied ED also get CSP (semifinalist or otherwise)?</p>

8

<p>i know i said it will be hard, but you guys will be fine. this is a challenge that will be tough but will be doable and worth it!</p>

<p>can’t wait to meet some of you this weekend,

<p>BWMargolis: Yeah, I had a friend who got in ED also get invited to CSP Weekend (semifinialist). I don’t know if she got the scholarship though…</p>

13
