<p>If you need “individual attention” for your academic achievements in a city that offers many outreach programs and plenty of academic and non academic achievement awards, then you should reconsider going to a school as big as Harvard, Yale or Columbia because you sure as hell won’t be recognized there either.
-umm VA person, I truly would know what my city offers because I’d be busting my ass trying to get some award or earn it or do the application process. If you personally show me a plethora of sites and places where I can get these awards and I gain one or two awards, I will literally pay you 100 dollars lol. I’m that confident.
-Umm, I never said that I don’t like big institutions and I defenitley want to go to these Ivy Leagues. Size is not an issue for me, so stop making assumptions. I only meant to say that in looking at accepted students and stuff, I only see these honors and awards given to people in rurual areas or small cities. Plus, the high achieving kids in my school didn’t really win any non-writing contest awards ( I totally agree with you that there are writing contests), and the only other wards came from debate and robotics which cost a ton in my school to participate in.
-As or playing the race card, I am actually a bit embarrassed for you at your reaction because I don’t play the race card, It’s just a naturally established principle due to the the aa clause that being black or latino will alow you to get in with less impressive credentials.
Totally agree with you that the college admissions thing is pretty strange (seeing as my friend with an 88 gpa got into harvard), but that still is kinda wierd for you to start telling me not to thank mustafa lol. He’s giving his info, and I’m just thanking him for defending me from your critiques which I must say are a bit inerudite and based on just having spoken to a harvard admissions officer (that I had the privilege to contact), are reminiscent of a senior who will utilize aa to his/her advtange and is just tyring to be discoruaging to limit the competition.
Yea Thomas Jefferson is a decent school, yea I know youre gonna quote the US News report that it’s number but I must say I can’t really respect a high school ranked on the basis that it attracts low income kids or is ranked on a bunch of other watercolor gild factors. So yea…lol I hope you’re not offended it’s just Idk…IrDK…
lol
just took an SAT practice test and got a 2310 so that’s comforting lol…hope I score that on the official test…</p>
<p>I’m really sorry about my responses but I was in debate before high school lol so I’m very overanalytical</p>
