Haha, the whole counter-strike sounds like me. Except, I was hooked on a game called “Ultima Online” an awsome MMORPG, btw. But um… it stole 4 years of my life, starting from 5th-9th - then I snapped out of it. Too bad, I’m in just about the same case as you, with the whole Freshman messup, minus the awsome Standardized tests. I got 2C’s in Honor courses, and a B in a CP course. I’m now top 25.

Not to hijack your thread, but the whole thing about not early decisioning because of GPA. Do you think if my GC wrote something explaining how poorly motivated I was freshman year, and that’ i’ve done a turn around would be OK for a top25 student applying to Columbia SEAS ED? or should I jsut wait for RD, since i’ll be raising my grades?
