iCon, they may know you are aiming for levels high above them and that may bug them.

For other reasons, I could not wait to get out of my house, school, and town (though my parents supported this dream). I absolutely adored college. I suggest you keep your head down and get the best grades and SATs you can which will help you on your way.

WARNING: do not let anger/frustration be the overriding tone of your essays or interviews… even if you ARE angry. Try to turn it into excitment, joy, anticipation, and zest for the next phase of life, or try to find the humor in it. Otherwise you might look too cranky to be appealing to the schools.
