<p>I’ve tried to ignore your posts since the whole SAT 2 thing, but they are just too immature and self-absorbed. You continuously applaud your own achievements but display a sad level of insecurity. And in case you haven’t noticed, if it seems that everyone is always attacking you on these forums to the point where you call anyone who disagrees with you a ■■■■■, then maybe it’s you rather than everyone else.</p>
<p>Regardless, I am going to try to be the bigger person and put you on my ignore list rather than getting into anonymous arguments over the internet. So I wish you the best of luck, and hopefully someone can help you take a step back and reevaluate your attitude.</p>
<p>Sorry I’ve had negative feedback on your posts elsewhere. In case you are unaware of what a ■■■■■ is, go look it up. I would go so far to say that you are a ■■■■■ as well, expecting an emotional response out of me. You’re drawing conclusions on my security, while you’re apparently insecure enough to announce you’re adding me to your ignore list, as if it’s suppose to be a billboard for something. I have not responded to other provocations, and find no need for an ignore list (or other self parental type controls) because I have self control and discipline.</p>
<p>If this were a real life conversation and the issues at hand were more important, I would sue you for libel. Lucky you however that your attitude of randomly and falsely portraying me as a self-absorbed person (please quote before saying so) who responds once to some silliness provocations on the board.</p>
<p>So please, for whatever reason you have to ■■■■■ and provoke, take it elsewhere, because I will not respond to your quite provocative junk posts.</p>
<p>Ur such a liar homer314. U have posted in other forums… Like the one about the subject tests and acting as if u were still a shoo-in for harvard… Which btw u def r not. I wish I could see the look on ur face when u r rejected. the only ■■■■■ is you. Stop attacking good people who are just trying to show you the errors of your ways cuz trust me, you have a lot.</p>
<p>Time to get this off my chest. I don’t like you. You’re like a ■■■■■, but worse – you don’t even understand how ridiculous, illogical, and offensive some of your posts are. If you get into Harvard, and I don’t, I’ll retreat into a state of disillusionment from which I might never emerge. The moment that happens, I’ll sit in the shower fully clothed and let the cold water trickle over my body. For hours. Rocking back and forth in the fetal position. Sucking my thumb. Crying.</p>
<p>Please get back on track. I know it may sound cliche, but if you don’t have anything nice to say, do not say it. I’m not choosing a side, but I would like this thread to get back on topic. So…congrats again to all who got likelies!</p>
<p>^Spoken like a worthy admit. I feel terrible posting that now. My apologies, everybody, especially homer314. There’s hypocrisy written all over that post, not to mention that I sound like a whiny little brat…</p>
<p>Anyway, I was wondering… Were the likely letters personalized for you guys? What kinds of things did the letters say? Did you get them by email or just snail mail?</p>
<p>Felixfelicis, don’t worry too much. People make mistakes, and the disappearing edit button on CC is not forgiving! ;)</p>
<p>The likely letters were not personalized, and they came by snail mail. A call came first. The letter was two pages long, and signed personally by Dean Fitzsimmons, with a handwritten short note underneath.</p>
<p>edit: it also included a generic description of Harvard as the best academic institution in the world and includes the paragraph found on Harvard’s admissions website.</p>
<p>@jgedwards: sorry, I thought by personalized he meant, “was it addressed to you (with your name)?” but now that I think about it all letters are. whoops! they actually were not personalized.</p>
<p>homer, you said, “bks, schools are more inclined to hand out likelies to students it fears they might loose. I’m sorry but with the level of animosity, I doubt whether your interviewer asked where else you applied. Only you know if you’re BSing, and that’s all that’s really important. Would you care to post stats, btw? Have you already posted them?”</p>
<p>I don’t mean to bring this up again, but I want to assure you that none of my interviewers asked where else I applied. However, I do agree with you (as I stated before) that the purpose of likely letters is such that the recipient of the letter is more likely to go to the school. I have not posted stats.</p>
<p>Please don’t - admissions committee members aren’t demigods capable of determining which individuals are rotten apples from essays, recommendations, and numbers alone. </p>
<p>And homer314, please stop being such an asswipe. It’s not cute.</p>
<p>Furthermore, it’s not standard fare to ask what other schools an applicant applied to. As far as I can tell, that information is rather personal, and asking it of a student is tactless, not to mention unnecessarily prying. At my first interview, I was asked what other schools I applied to, but at the second, no one mentioned it at all.</p>
<p>I can only imagine what your parents are like, karmasand. On the contrary, I can’t imagine my own son or daughter speaking like you. </p>
<p>Anyways, good idea, let’s keep complimenting each other here… I mean, everyone is definitely looking forward to Harvard. There’s even a fair chance for us to be rooming together. Thoughts?</p>
<p>My Harvard interviewer never asked me where else I had applied. So I guess I’m one of the ■■■■■■ homer. Only my Dartmouth interviewers asked out of all interviews I got and i gave a generic “similar schools with a liberal arts feel within the framework of a large research institution” which seemed to suffice. I do not think they are permitted to force it outta you. :)</p>
<p>As for the comment on rooming together… I humbly hope that is not the case. I foresee a lot of… friction of personalities, between homer and I.</p>
<p>Tbh some of you post have made me legitimately question yout maturity level and intelligence. But after all this is the internet, I can only hope that you are not such irl. :)</p>
<p>All of my interviewers asked what other universities I had applied to … and proceeded to criticize them. They said things like: “this is just my opinion, not the University’s, but [insert Ivy-league school here] is in the middle of the ghetto and you will surely be killed if you go there.”</p>
<p>7 of my 8 schools asked where else I was applying to (Yale didn’t ask). Also, the majority asked me for specific test scores.</p>
<p>As someone above me pointed out, a few of the interviewers pitched in their own opinions about the other schools. Some of my interviewers went as far as to say “I’d least like to see you at that school,” etc. I kind of just nodded my head, but was kind of annoyed. I put School X on my list for a reason, I don’t need a stranger making decisions for me.</p>
<p>Also, reaaaaly awkward when I told my Harvard interviewer I was deferred from Yale SCEA. He wouldn’t stop talking about Yale, asking me what I liked about it, whether I would’ve applied early to Harvard if it was an option, if I’d still go to Yale over Harvard if accepted RD. I didn’t want to lie to the guy, but it was hard to downplay it when he kept bringing it up lol.</p>
<p>kimathi, after addressing me directly, how does it feel to have three anonymous others reply saying they were asked to their dozens of schools? ;)</p>
<p>I honestly hope you’re friends with all of us, so we can look back in the new age and see hte animosity before we met. Sort of like that movie, “You’ve got Mail.” :D</p>
