Does anybody else think that they are pointless and annoying?? Most likely the people on this forum are not an admission counselor for your desired school, so them telling you that you are definitely able to get in doesn’t help you at all. Not every person with perfect stats is able to get into the school that they want to, so posting them on here so people could tell you how perfect they are and boost your ego WILL NOT get you admitted! I could understand people who have grades that aren’t so picture perfect asking these questions, but if you have a 4.0 GPA, participate in all of these extra-curriculars, and then some have a little more confidence in yourself and stop looking for validation from random people on the internet.
I’m not trying to bash anybody, and I know these threads are not gonna stop anytime soon anyway, I just wanted to see if other people feel the same. Post your thought :)
