<p>lions: i am not being cocky at all. I was simply stating that I don’t care if you are being rude or not, because quite honestly, you are a stranger. i have no idea who you are, and if you chose to be rude (which you didn’t, and I didn’t think you did either), that wouldn’t have bothered me at all. And I am very down to earth. How are my posts anything but? I am questioning why I got in and others didn’t. What about me did Princeton think merited acceptance? I want it to be something that I would want to be judged on, not just a number on my tax return. And using your logic, I shouldn’t have to be grateful to the school, If I earned that spot. SHouldn’t I be grateful to myself? That’s the thing, I don’t want to HAVE to be grateful because they GAVE me a spot. I want to have earned that spot.</p>
