<p>@cornell19 "Diversity should be cherished and the best way to achieve it is through affirmitive action. "
wrong, affirmative action might be the easiest, laziest, and cheapest way, but certainly not the best.</p>
<p>Also, according to wikipedia, the purpose of affirmative action is to “promote the opportunities of defined minority groups within a society” not necessarily to promote diversity. </p>

This could be our view this time next year…ahhhhhh Thursday can’t come soon enough 8-} @-) </p>
<p>how much effect do you think being a minority really has on admissions? </p>
<p>@faf3721 friend got into ILR with an 18 something sat last year. Good grades and very good ec’s tho</p>
<p>any difference between international and domestic applications? </p>
<p>My mom is reading The Odyssey out loud to my sister, every third word is “Ithaca”…I swear the universe is just toying with us all now</p>
<p>Wearing Red every day of the week </p>
<p>I wear a uniform so unfortunately I will not be able to wear red ): damn. gotta get creative.</p>
<p>omg ugh. I do not want thursday to come. I dont want to see if i got in or not, i’d rather just keep dreaming about getting in :(</p>
<p>Tbh I’m ready to just accept my fate. Bring it onnn.</p>
<p>^^Same here. I just want this 17-year-long wait to be finally over. </p>
<p>guys can you share your ecs here. I wanna see just how bad mine are. </p>
<p>Haha you guys I live in the middle east and I wouldhave to get up two in the morning to check my decision!! Btw this site is wayyyyy better than Facebook!! </p>
<p>Everything will fall into place. </p>
<p>The Facebook group literally has nothing helpful on it… Or really interesting for that matter. You guys can hold a conversation, and I thank you for that lol.</p>
<p>Well. To relieve some tension out here, Can we guys start mentioning with unique thing about ourself ?</p>
<p>@tarunsudham I think the biggest thing that really makes me unique is my artistic ability… I taught myself AP Studio Art and received a 5 so that should say something haha what about you?</p>
<p>is it true that colleges can reject you even after you get accepted? like if you get really bad grades second semester or something. does this happen for ED people? what if u get accepted into ED and then later get rejected at the end of the year and didn’t touch or do any of your regular apps. then youre basically screwed and cant go to college ??</p>
<p>@RtotheB did you apply for architecture?</p>
<p>@banana4 Yes, if you don’t keep up your grades, colleges can rescind admissions. I’ve seen actual letters that did so. Public universities seem to be less forgiving about this. Privates seem to give you a chance to explain yourself. The word on the street is that a few Bs are ok, but Cs are bad. </p>
