<p>I have class, good sir, not swag.</p>
<p>My FB profile pic is of me in a Hugh Hefner robe. 100% authentic and actually worn by Hugh Hefner; I bought it from a shady website that said so…</p>
<p>If you are referring to my previous statement in which I noted that I have “swaggah,” that was just my attempt at mastering the language of the American elite.</p>
<p>“I bought it from a shady site that said so…”</p>
<p>This reminds me of that State Farm commercial. Bonjour!</p>
<p>Ah, forgive me for not recognizing the panache of a noble gentleman such as yourself. Also, *madame</p>
<p>@MobiusUno: Yeah, I’ve been getting spammed with college letters as of recently…I don’t even have time to read them all. It would be nice to receive letters from MIT and some of the Ivy League schools; then I would definitely read them all. 
Brown is the only Ivy League school that spams me.</p>
<p>guys I got rejected to MITES… I’m a prophet</p>
<p>Lurker here…y’all some funny people.
But I just want to say…THE ANXIETY IS KILLING ME.
Even my teachers and counselor are asking me if I heard back. 
Another wish of good luck to us all!</p>
<p>@Alpha2014: At least try to be optimistic, we all have a chance And what if you’re wrong? Are you no longer a prophet?</p>
<p>@Romeo I know! Everyone keeps asking me that same question. However, I stare at them in an intense way, then I get really close to their ear and whisper the letters N and O. Afterwards, I briskly walk away acting as if they are the odd ones. *Just some helpful advice.</p>
<p>@MS4211</p>
<p>I did not know you are a female.
…come here often?</p>
<p>It would be hilarious if only one of us gets in… Then I won’t feel bad.</p>
<p>It would really suck, however, if everybody but one person gets in. I would feel like trash. Unless its a lurker that doesn’t participate, in which case I couldn’t care less.</p>
<p>@Rivstein. Yep, all the time. My boyfriend says it’s not good for my health though…always telling me to get off this blasted website.</p>
<p>My challenge essay was about the death of my little brother and how my house was foreclosed soon afterwards. We lived with my grandma for about 6 months until my uncle gave us my grandpa’s land (where I grew up). My grandpa is in prison, but I didn’t include that.</p>
<p>You have a boyfriend. Damn, right when I was about to make a cyber move too…</p>
<p>I…I can’t tell if you’re joking or not about your challenge essay</p>
<p>@Rivstein: It would be very awkward if none of us gets in…this thread would just die the day after decisions lol</p>
<p>Hey guys, this is definitely interesting - a MITES alumni, who started from the bottom but thanks to Questbridge and the help of some other programs he is currently a freshman at Stanford! Here’s his story - [Eric</a> Smalls: Dear Mr. President - YouTube](<a href=“Eric Smalls: Dear Mr. President - YouTube”>Eric Smalls: Dear Mr. President - YouTube) and here’s his blog [Eric</a> Smalls](<a href=“http://www.ericsmalls.com/]Eric”>http://www.ericsmalls.com/) He started the Robotics club at Stanford last year (How did they not already have one???) A pretty cool guy and I also follow him on twitter and instagram… he’s met Bill Nye!</p>
<p>I actually wasn’t joking about my essay. My baby brother died of SIDS last year and my house was foreclosed soon afterwards.</p>
<p>****. I’m sorry man.</p>
<p>Don’t be sorry. It’s easier to type it than say it.</p>
<p>It’s the only essay no one has mentioned much, so I assumed the topic might be sensitive to more people than just myself.</p>
