I’m spending an awful lot of time scrolling when users copy another’s full post- and only part of it is needed. Maybe none.

OP, here’s the issue, as I see it.
You’re mistaking determined optimism for digging up the facts and details. It’s a youthful approach, very high school. Maybe charming in the hs context. But this is the college leap, you’re expected to find your own truer understanding. At least, to think on that level. Instead, we’re going in circles. We offer solid advice and you come back with more optimism. In the end, any of us can perceive that as empty.
You ask us to tell you what you should be doing- eg, for better Cornell transfer chances. You should be looking on your own. Applies to all kids who feel they’re worthy of a tippy top.
You assure us you have a wider list, you throw in bits about how you’ll be ok with a reject. But if you can’t show an effort here, it doesn’t add up.
It didn’t slip notice that you’re overall ignoring our advice…but the instant your GC says something, you respected that.
You need to get cracking. I feel you need to get off CC and take this seriously. Skip the 'tude noted and ‘Just Do it.’
Many of us have advised kids and seen them try. We see how they process. Then the final decisions how to proceed belong to them. But they’ve advanced. I’m not sure you’ve gained much from this thread.
