How are a few bad grades on the transcirpt looked at ?

<p>

No, you are not. We talked about this and I thought you agreed that was not the case. It is what one hopes for, but no one is “entitled” to it. However, that is in fact what you are getting, at least in their opinion. If someone thinks that you are being unrealistic thinking you will get accepted to Cornell, they are giving you constructive advice. To whit, make sure you apply to other schools where you are sure to get in. Dreaming is fine, but understand that dreams don’t always come true and have a Plan B. Or in this case several Plan B’s, i.e. some match and safety schools.</p>

<p>No one posts opinions on here to make themselves feel better at your expense. They are trying to help. Finally, if you really believe that

then what is the point of being on here in the first place? And exactly why should anyone on here have faith in you? We don’t know you at all, except what we see you write. At this point would you have faith in a kid that lashes out, curses, and threatens other members who said nothing mean-spirited in the least? Giving an opinion that doesn’t agree with what you think or want to hear is not mean spirited. You really have to both get a handle on that temper and completely redefine what you think is and isn’t constructive criticism.</p>

<p>Get it together. What you are doing doesn’t help you and is a waste of other people’s time.</p>
