<p>Pretending for a brief second that the OP is in any measure serious, I doubt that you were rejected from those colleges based solely on a rushed application.</p>
<p>If you had as many stellar qualities as you say, I doubt a typo or a forgotten comma would have prevented Harvard from accepting you. Obviously, there’s more to your application that prevented acceptance. </p>
<p>In regards to the Maoists and wanting to participate in a coup… I think Hitler started out that way, too. </p>
<p>Finally, why is attending a “top” university so important? It sounds like you’re enchanted by the label and not the school itself.
So what if the college you’re attending now has a high acceptance rate. Are the professors poor teachers? Are you feeling as if you’re not receiving a good education? Or are you strung up on the fact that too many students are being allowed in and your school is not as selective as the almighty Maoists?</p>
<p>Now, if you are joking… Ha! You had me fooled.</p>
<p>Thanks all for your advice. I was just thinking, perhaps I should join the Maoist, see how things go, and then apply to college as a ‘special student’? I heard that a former Taliban leader is going to Yale. </p>
<p>Do any of you know about special students? Also, say, if I become 20–will that be too old to go to college?</p>
<p>“If you had as many stellar qualities as you say, I doubt a typo or a forgotten comma would have prevented Harvard from accepting you. Obviously, there’s more to your application that prevented acceptance.”</p>
<p>I didn’t get the chance to write all the college courses I took, because I had to submit the application by late November. I also forgot some other stuff. But do you think those stats could have really gotten me in? (Just curious.)</p>
<p>Ok, after laughing for about half an hour, I’m gonna throw in my two cents, and give yet another reason as to why this dude is a fake:</p>
<p>If his stats are correct, he could have easily gotten into a ‘good’ school (not quite an Ivy, but a school with an acceptance rate of lower than 90%). The fact that he didn’t apply to such schools shows that he is:</p>
<p>A) naive (because he should have known that rushing in applications might lower his chances of getting into an Ivy), </p>
<p>and/or</p>
<p>B) arrogant (because he thought he was too good for such ‘lowly’ institutions).</p>
<p>“If his stats are correct, he could have easily gotten into a ‘good’ school (not quite an Ivy, but a school with an acceptance rate of lower than 90%). The fact that he didn’t apply to such schools shows that he is:”</p>
<p>Thank you for your analysis. I was indeed naive, but I did apply to a ‘middle school.’ I got in (50% admission rate) but my parents won’t let me go because it is a ‘party school’ and they are rather conservative. I wanted to go, however. </p>
<p>This school I am going to currently is very close to home. </p>
<p>Also, how is joining the Maoist ‘losing it’? I would have joined after college, anyway. Also, just today, the Maoist won the elections for Prime Minister in Nepal! This was shocking news. </p>
<p>if ur parents wouldn’t let you go to a “middle school”, how in the world do u expect them to let you go and become the next president of india?!</p>
<p>transfer much? work hard for 2 years and move up!</p>
<p>really think hard now, going halfway across the world to become a political leader just because you were too naive and arrogant to apply to more than reach schools does look a bit strange. even if you really truly believe in their political agenda, the fact that you even thot up this idea is extreme. and yes you weren’t rejected bc you rushed ur app lol.</p>
<p>“and yes you weren’t rejected bc you rushed ur app lol.”</p>
<p>I must admit, their are some world-class analysts here on this site. Everyone seems to analyze my ‘stats’. Amazing! I was just wondering, though, how do you know? Other students in my school with much lower scores, etc. than me in my school were accepted into ‘first-rate’ colleges. So, I just assume it was because of the application, which had very poor and generic essays. </p>
<p>Thanks for your advise, though.
I was just wondering, though, if anyone knows some ‘special students’ personally? Does anyone know about that guy from the Taliban who is now at Yale? I’m thinking that maybe in a few years I’ll apply as one. I want to study more in economics. </p>
<p>The thing is that you can wrack your brain the whole day about what went wrong and yadda yadda, but you will never know. The college process can be somewhat of a crap shoot, and you just weren’t lucky.</p>
<p>And wait, you want to apply as a Taliban member? Uhhhh. Or do you mean you want to apply to Yale?</p>
<p>I think you would have a better chance just going to one of the other schools you were admitted to and then applying to transfer. And learn your lesson this time about your application.</p>
<p>it seems like with your high school credentials they could have at least gotten you to Georgetown or Dartmouth…if not those, maybe UNC, Michigan, or Virginia</p>
<p>And the whole rebel thing, its a no…where you are now work your ass off and transfer into your dream university, and if not maybe a good state school like Michigan</p>
