<p>wow. thats alot of replies in 15 minutes. first off, im not trying to say im better than everyone or that my essays are, because i have some friends with much higher stats that me and im upset they didnt get in too. secondly, im actually white, so no AA excuse either. i mean jazz, ballet, tap, and drama department such as plays and musicals. the mean or what you may call arrogant tone from part of it is not meant for the aspect of those who have worked super hard and didnt get in, but that tone was just for the chancing concept, and i apologize if it came across in other ways. As for the passion, that was also only meant for a small percentage of people, such as a few i know who just gave these dumb “world peace” kind of answers and im sure you know who those people are at each of your respective schools. </p>
<p>i really was just breaking it down to this… chancing is dumb in my opinion. many people have alot of resentment right now so dont take anything offensive too personally. and there is hope for those of us without 2400 sat scores. thats all. my if stanford is right for you comment was more with the fact that just because you didnt get in, doesnt mean you wont be as successful, if not more, than some people who did. </p>
<p>oh, and what is a URM status? im way behind on these forum acronyms.</p>
