So that isn’t right either. Maybe you just want everyone to praise and say how good you are then.



Uhmm…nooooo, you missed my purpose for this thread, which was to seek advice for the best plan to apply to colleges. I said that if I seem to lack a skill in mathematics, a skill that many “engineers” have honed and use daily, then should I just apply as a biomed major or perhaps just as a biology major. I don’t need any praise whatsoever, trust me, I don’t even want people at my school knowing my college plans so I can avoid any talk.

Why did you reply with such a ridiculous post (honestly, no offense, but it’s odd). I mean you suggest I am fishing for compliments, which I don’t need, then say that I’m freakin out when you spazzed. I never asked if my 2 Bs would wreck all chances, I asked which major should I put down to have the best shot.



Central part of your thread. You care greatly about being proficient and doing well.



Who wouldn’t want to? Lol I don’t get that reply, I’m sorry if that offends you. I just asked would having Bs in math sophomore/junior year look bad if I am applying as an engineering major? (if my reason for a “lackluster performance”-I use this phrase because you apparently take me as an intellectual elitist devoid of self-confidence who needs the approbation of strangers on the internet).



I tip my hat off to you because here I am complaining to my mom about 5 hours a night. Part of the reason I get so mad about people with all As is that I envy you. I wish I had that ability to succeed. So I’m sorry if that came across as rude…



Did you let your emotions get the best of you here or something? Frankly, I guess you’re mad that I care to ask if 2 Bs in math classes hurt when applying to engineering programs to a few Ivies and other peer schools. If that’s the case, I’m sorry.
