<p>i’m doing this on all the colleges’ boards i applied to. i’m just gonna get out and start this thread from now until april. i don’t really know any of you, and i’m sure we all got lives and all – but from now until april, if you just wanna spit some thoughts out, vent out, ask random q’s about apps, post some haikus, debate about ivy guys/girls, waste time, brag about your stats (though i’d highly discourage that), or just be random or what not, let this be your home.</p>
<p>let me just end with this poem. i feel really awkward writing this, and i’m not moody or anything; this falls into the random thoughts category:</p>
<p>brown.
i love not just the color, but you.
my passion for you is too deep. i will not get into any college.
but yet i dream and wait under your van wickle gates.
and then i smack some booty, ow ow, yea me and the brown bear chillen aint caring in the back of my new cadillac cuz i jus graduated from muh****a. yes, yes, give me some love, i want kisses and hugs, check out my lugz. i’m ready to take this thing global, standing under a lamp post with my hands closed, trying to see clearly if you can still hear me.</p>
<p>I just royally screwed myself over by scoring Cs on my finals, which dropped both my A-'s to B+s.</p>
<p>Not to mention I already have a B in calc already.</p>
<p>RANTRANTRANT SIGHH. I seriously can’t believe I got 3 Bs out of 6 classes this semester. This is NO way to start the new year and I really just want to blow up the school’s servers so my mid-year report doesn’t go in.</p>
<p>Does anyone seriously know what they look for in mid-year reports and how weighted it is in admissions?</p>
<p>I don’t think three 'B’s will hurt, as long as your courseload is rigorous. That’s still a solid GPA. </p>
<p>I’m in a similar boat… I was hoping to have a ballin’ midyear report, and I do have all 'A’s for my first two quarters, but midterm grades are reported separately (they don’t go into our quarter grades) & I think I’ve gotten one or two 'C’s so far (which has NEVER happened in my LIFE) & I already know I got a ‘B’ on one. Ughhh.</p>
<p>Vent Post:
The conservatives at my school don’t know what they’re talking about!! they make me so angry, even with Obama being president–grr argh! I really really hope I get accepted to Brown so I can finally be around people who don’t spew propaganda out all over the place. I mean, I respect the opposite opinion, (if i didn’t I wouldn’t have very many friends going to a conservative catholic school in the south), but at least know what you’re talking about. Please, liberals, console me :[</p>
<p>I wish I could erase calculus from my transcript too… a low “B”… which I think stands out like a sore thumb to AO’s. I’m so worried my deferral will become a rejection come March. I just want to know now!!!</p>
<p>what if I’m waitlisted? and doubley put off a decision?! ahggghghghg</p>
<p>Rosarita… I feel your pain!!! As a resident of South Carolina, I face the same thing everyday. Can you believe a group of girls ripped my Obama sticker off my car??? There is so so much ignorance. I’m down to have an intelligent conversation any day with someone who doesn’t like Obama, but don’t argue that he’s Muslim and going to blow us up… COME ON!!! Hasn’t Snopes/unbiased news (cough cough not fox cough) addressed these rumors enough? Fortunately, I have found a large group of people, probably more than half (thanks, public school demographics), who do support him. Regardless, I can not WAIT to get out of here.</p>
<p>dude – i hate school. i need to get into college asap. and if you haven’t heard it – even if you don’t care for rap – listen to “my president’s black” by young jeezy, it really fit the mood on tuesday.</p>
<p>if we’re waitlisted, we have to think of something epicly creative to get us in.</p>
<p>I was worried about one C in calc. But because I tried saving myself in that class and almost ignored all the others, I got 3 Bs. I’m still freaking ticked off after a four hour nap. And my mom just found out. And then she just told my dad.</p>
<p>Seriously, I guaranteed my dad nothing worse than 2 Bs this semester (I was really hoping for all As and a B) and I pretty much promised it. Now I don’t want to go eat dinner because I KNOW he’s going to bring it up and yeah, I will die three times over on the inside…</p>
<p>I’m really sad though. Now my hopes of getting into Ivies are just sorta dashed. With 7 Bs spread out all over my transcript and 3 of them clustered in the MOST recent semester (aka most proper representation of how’ll you do in college), even I can’t give myself an excuse to prevent the AOs from thinking: “Wow, she slipped up.”</p>
<p>And as for the Obama thing on this thread, I seriously can’t believe someone would go and rip a bumper sticker off a car – that is incredibly close-minded and stupid. For someone who lives in California, I find that almost unimaginable…even if McCain won, I KNOW people won’t be going around ripping McCain support stickers from cars…</p>
<p>it’s a whole different world in the south. You know NC went Obama by a really slim margin, so everyone was at each other’s throats. You would be shocked at the things that people say, do, and believe with regards to politics down here. I got crap from a lot of people for the Obama sticker on my car, but I made sure they knew it was staying there. I was so happy when the election was over.</p>
