<p>I feel like i forgot something, so tell me if i did. I’m pretty confident in my essay. Basically, I’m in one of the most competitive high schools in the us (75% asian, above 50% have 4.00+), and im hoping they see that.
First of all, do I have a decent chance of getting into LA, or Berkley? SD? Also, I’m torn between early decision JHU (BME) or cornell, but after seeing some of the cornell stats, i feel like i shouldnt even bother. Help me out?
thanks</p>

<p>lieutenantlard,</p>

<p>You aren’t Flopsy; stop with your antics.</p>

<p>Foolish boy - you have not yet attained that status. </p>

<p>Earn
your
CR:rolleyes:////.</p>

<p>I’m practicing for when flopsy graduates… which probably won’t be 2-3 years</p>

<p>You’re doing it incorrectly; your posts are not terse enough. It should be like this: </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Pardon the freshmen.</p>

<p>Well heck I ain’t going to copy flopsy. I’ll mix a bit of flopsy and chan to create the perfect resident bruin.</p>

<p>You need a stronger fan base first. People don’t like you enough; Jasonx88 is part of my camp. You suck.

<p>OH yheah? well I have allie. I wish.</p>

<p>Fan Count: 2 </p>

<p>You’re losing.</p>

11

<p>i hope you guys are starting a flame war…lol…anyways…SATS kinda iffy…umm join hella clubs this year…:-)</p>

12

<p>Efan fans are not the same as real fans !!</p>

13

<p>Don’t join a million clubs! Stick with a few and become a dedicated member with responsibility. There is limited amount of space to write about ECs; you have enough (and are doing well in them).</p>

14

<p>Do I detect animosity or is it simply banter? :)</p>

15

<p>^^^^ agree.</p>

16

<p>thanks funnyman…you totally ruined my arrows haha =P anyhow, i’m agreeing with emme’s comment about clubs.</p>

17

<p>yup, that’s what I’m here for, to ruin arrows!</p>

18

<p>hahah…well you’re doing an awesome job of it =p</p>

19

<p>I’ll just have to carry the namaste name to urban dictionary too ;)</p>

<p>there are thousands of students in california that have applied to UCLA without any personal assistance. just do what you are doing. and trust me, joining some more clubs would not make a difference in your senior year since you had three years to join it beforehand. have confidence in your current scores, and if you are retaking a few, good luck. if not, it’s not that bad. just have confidence in yourself. if i were to tell you that your SAT sucks, and that you are have no chance in getting in, are you going to just give up? NO. believe in yourself, and try to show that UCLA that those scores are worthy for you to get in. and it’s not only about the scores, it’s also about your personal statements too.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>
