<p>“I’m sorry you feel like “doo-doo”; I do not mean to make you feel that way, and if you do simply by reading this, I am even sorrier. I don’t understand what you mean about fake modesty.” </p>
<p>omg please just focus on your apps and don’t hang out here. You need an attitude adjustment, and spending time stressing out on these forums isn’t going to help you. Enjoy your summer, as it’s one of the last few peaceful times you’ll have in the next year.</p>
<p>And “McGill is my safety”</p>
<p>oh wow… that school is the Harvard of Canada. It is a reach. For most anyone. If that’s your safety, you might end up like my school president: no where to go in the fall.</p>
<p>And, you EC list does smell like bulls are near. There are waaaay too many activities. There is no way anyone could have done ALL of that. Parts of it look good, but en mass, it just seems like you are lying. I don’t see any deep, meaningful involvement. Just a bunch of college-grubbing. It seems like you took every little thing you’ve ever done and blown it up into a huge activity. Adcoms see through this. Be honest. I was honest, and it was enough for Chicago.</p>
<p>JHS is giving you good advice, and all you’re doing is showing attitude. </p>
<p>No one likes chances threads because admissions are holistic. We seriously can’t really help you other than telling you to have a good safety, write amazing essays, and just hope. We are not admissions counselors. Just because we were successful in the admissions game doesn’t mean we know the secrets behind getting admitted. Seriously: spend a lot of time on your essays and think about how you come off on paper. That’s really all you can do.</p>
