<p>I seriously want to get some friends to come over and play old school video games or something on the 15th. But I have classes all day and I have to stay after school until 4. It SUCKS. Unless if I take a day off from school, which is quite possible.</p>
<p>Koena, theoneo, and others working on the Robertson Scholars Application, it says on the website that the deadline was just moved to December 3rd at 12PM EST!!! More sleep for me tonight I guess lol.;)</p>
<p>My name comes from my initials, which spell JAG. JAG was first used as a nickname for me by my 8th grade english teacher when she got confused between my real first name, the one on her roster, and the name I have always used since birth, my middle name, Alex. She just started calling me by my initials and it stuck. I now respond to six different variations of my name.</p>
<p>Ahhh EAD I knowww!! I actually didn’t even look at it last night, because I got the email that pushed back the deadline at like 4 in the afternoon. </p>
<p>I just finished OSU…what a release…it’s sooo nice to send these out. </p>
<p>As for my sn, it’s pretty self-explanatory. I wasn’t in a very creative place when I made it. But I like my name, so I guess it’s cool lol.</p>
<p>STUPid Affirmative action Korean- this is something my best friend called me junior year. i thought it was funny</p>
<p>Darn thats funny cause a kid named Stewart at my school is called Stupac… but mostly cause it rhymes with Tupac and he’s about as far away from gangsta rapper as you can get… I hoped you might have a similar story, but alas.</p>
<p>I propose a ban on “chances” threads. Because really? Really.</p>
<p>I propose not responding to “chances” threads anymore. Oh wait, I already did that.</p>
<p>Actually the primary reason I avoided the forum at first was the incredible amounts of useless chances threads.</p>
<p>Glad to be here anyway. EST afternoon of the 15th is predawn the 16th in Seoul, which means I will be able to enjoy rejection/acceptance/deferral in the peace and quiet.</p>
<p>I just try to ignore the chances threads, though there really are way too many right now.</p>
<p>I have to stop reading CC. It’s only making me obsess more and more. There has to be a better way to kill 12 days’ worth of time!</p>
<p>jwing…exactly what time do decisions come out?</p>
<p>Last year they were out at 4:30 EST, I think. </p>
<p>12 dayssss…I’ve started to realize that this is coming up wayyy faster than I thought…ahhh…so exciting…so nerve-wracking</p>
<p>These last two weeks are gonna be the hardest; right now the days seem to go by soooo slowly. Like today, I thought to myself, “Thank God that this Friday I’ll know…oh wait, no, that’s the NEXT Friday…” :p</p>
<p>how do the chances people rate their essays and recs anyway?</p>
<p>I mean, some teachers are surprisingly horrible writers–they might write horrible recommendations without meaning to.</p>
<p>If their teachers let them read their recs, or if they’ve written them recs before. And if it’s an English teacher, I doubt they’re a horrible writer.</p>
<p>Yeah, but occassionally I give the threads a look and am pleasantly surprised when major beef has broken out on the thread!! Oh drama…</p>
<p>Hey for everyone fed up with chances threads… this is a pretty funny spoof on the dartmouth board.

<p>Noo! It’s gone!</p>
<p>Haha darn, that’s because it was ridiculously offensive… It asked if being arrested for committing a rather… unspeakable act on a horse would hurt his chances for admission. It was really funny though.</p>
