<p>It’s annoying that people actually think this way, and it’s really common. </p>
<p>I’m applying to a lot of selective schools. If I get in, they’ll say “it’s only because you’re black.” Well I thought maybe because I’m 6th in my class sure helps.</p>
<p>lolz
I mean that I say that I am 95% black and 5% Japanese. I love that culture so much that I got myself “blooded” (I really just rubbed wrists) with a Japanese girl in m class and then I became Japanese (lolz). 
Every time when someone asks what I am I say part black and part Japanese.</p>
<p>LOLZ</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I just started watching the vid. It’s tooooo much for me. lolz</p>
<p>Awww man… I hate it when I miss an AA rant… 
What’s going on here? Do I need to go in on a thread?</p>
<p>^^CPU are people starting this stupidity with you now?
You’re only a junior. Tell them to lay off.</p>
<p>Ohh gotcha 
</p>
<p>CPU- Haters gonna hate. Plus they’re just jealous you’re awesome. (Btw I’m 6th in my class too!!!)</p>
<p>Haters gonna hate - 3 words to live by, lol.</p>
<p>-heads to UW board-</p>
<p>^Marine,
share the link.</p>
<p>No they haven’t yet. But when i told a girl where I was applying, she said “you’re really smart, and your black so you should get in.”
Excuse me?
In college i don’t want to go to an undiversified school. Even if it’s an all black school (reason why I took Spelman off.)</p>
<p>Why do I work hard? I’ll get in with crappy grades because I’m a minority, and a female, right?</p>
<p>It’s so annoying. I’m not telling anyone at my school where I’m applying or where I get accepted. The day after graduation I’ll tell everyone where I’m going. </p>
<p>Actually, I’ll most likely post a Facebook status about where I get accepted to (only if it’s one of my favorites) :)</p>
<p>EDIT: huskies- we’re twins hahaha</p>
<p>For real, lol. </p>
<p>It’s blowing up over there, everyone is receiving acceptance letters. meaning there will be angry, stubborn people .___.</p>

<p>I read that thread this morning and shrugged it off.
It seems like OP got into UCLA. LOL why is he complaining? </p>
<p>Maybe his UW application sucked and his UCLA app didn’t. I don’t understand why a group of high schoolers think they’re fit to judge who deserves to get into X school and who doesn’t. Sheesh.</p>
<p>And for the record… I made the mistake of telling some seniors I was applying to USC. Reactions? Same as CPU’s: “You’re smart, and mixed. You’ll get in for sure!” …yup, because I definitely haven’t been working my ass off to get where I am today…</p>
<p>Sorry I didn’t know that youtube could be linked

<p>@CPU: Yep! Good job btw!! It feels good to know our hard work is going to be recognized at graduation and when we get into colleges.</p>
<p>I know…they are probably stressing about the $$ factor of UCLA though. I’m only going to go to an OOS school like USC if I get adequate scholarship money which is really tough to get. My family’s income will get me no FA but it’s still going to be a challenge paying 50k a year obviously…
That’s ridiculous. People don’t realize that AA isn’t the only reason people get into schools. And from what I hear AA isn’t as helpful as people think it is?</p>
<p>Ghuskies- hey you too! i don’t want to drop though Yale publishes the top six students in their newspaper picture and everything! Next year I’m kicking butt. At least first semester. I want colleges to see 6th or higher. I’m not gonna slack off, I’ll just be relaxed after April 1 :)</p>
<p>I know this sounds cheesy but… I CAN’T WAIT TO GO DORM ACCESSORY SHOPPING :)</p>
<p>EDIT: it’s a proven fact that white women benefit most from AA</p>
<p>My family makes ~80k for 6 people, so I need all the $$$ I can get.</p>
<p>And I’m really indifferent on the subject of AA (and many other things, lol). Probably because it marginally benefits me (3/8, whoop whoop), but I don’t see what the big fuss is about. Obviously if you’re not fit for the school, then why should they accept you?
Just because someone is a URM doesn’t automatically mean they’re going to get accepted to a school.
I’m worrying my ass off about colleges, yet people think the minute I hit ‘submit’ I’ll be accepted. -____-</p>
<p>Marine- the sad thing is, colleges (with the exception of top tiers with good FA regardless) don’t care that your family has 6 people. All they see is 80k. </p>
<p>They treat us like robots. Parents have bills to pay, kids to feed, and buy other NECESSITIES. they don’t care. </p>
<p>Idk why I’m applying to Rutgers and UMass. Even with FA and the new England scholarship to UMass, they’re more expensive than any of the 60k schools.</p>
<p>^
wait how is Umass more than a $60k school?</p>
<p>what price are you looking at?</p>
<p>Yea, I know CPU. It sucks. :(</p>
<p>I heard USC has good financial aid though. Maybe I’m wrong.
Hopefully not -____-</p>
<p>For UMass I’d pay in state because of the new England scholarship program, so 31k. But I’m OOS, so that = no financial aid. Even if UMass was my favorite, I can go to MIT, Yale, Cornell, Wellesley, Smith, and RPI for 10k or less with NO loans.</p>
<p>ahhh, true. Okay
I get it now.</p>
<p>Darn it. I should have worked harder for those tope 20 schools. lolz it’s way late now.</p>
<p>It’s really gonna suck when I get rejected from Stanford.</p>
<p>My mom already told all her friends at work I was applying -____- ■■■■■. So embarrassing.</p>
<p>I NEED them. They’re good because I want to go to grad school, good education, etc. But MONEY means everything. I’m not transferring into one because that’s hard to do and I’ll get less money as a transfer (I think.)</p>
<p>The only early school I care about is MIT. I want to get a freaking tube in the mail.</p>
