<p>“[A]nyone’s job”? - When did I ever say it was your job to say wonderful things about people asking for chances - better yet, the OP was only asking whether or not he should apply ED or RD. (This wasn’t even a “chance me” thread like everyone was making it out to be. I simply did not understand why people would encourage the OP to apply RD without providing him with some other alternatives to apply ED. Besides, the only thing the OP needs to bring up (which he really doesn’t have to for ED) is his SAT score.)</p>
<p>Furthermore, I was not even referring to your post when I made that comment. I did agree with you when you said that the next admissions cycle will be pretty rigorous.</p>
<p>One more thing: just as you have your first amendment right to protect your freedom of speech to be “a little brutal and blunt in [your] opinions”, I too have my first amendment right to make sure the OP realizes that there will be people (not saying you) who will try to knock him down along the way…so that’s who I am: someone providing another perspective to this lopsided thread. (For you to dismiss this logic is pretty immature.)</p>
