Ah, then that’s an issue. 
And please, let’s stop guessing at the word.
Ones where the posters feel the need to bash schools that rejected, deferred or waitlisted their students. Especially when they add how hard their students worked or how well rounded their student is as if to say that the accepted students were not equally as well rounded or didn’t work nearly as hard. Lots of those right now .
^^^And it was their dream school until they were rejected.
^^^ And they always have better options. If that’s the case , why so upset and angry?
Ny thread where the poster seeks advice…and respondants ask clarification questions that the OP does NOT answer.
…because the OP so ‘doesn’t get it’ that he/she doesn’t understand why these clarifing questions are asked. Why they matter. So they go along blithely. No perspective gained. Repeating versions of the same.
Overconfidence while underinformed is an Everest to climb. And all the while, “I think I can, I think I can.” That’s frustrating.
Add to that the inconsistent and unclear information that seems to fall on the “I am special so it will happen for me” deaf ears. Oh and the "I can pay fll pay but don’t want to - so find me money-- in FEBRUARY.
Or, I have one maybe-hook.
As if.
And engineering is easy and I’ll probably graduate in 3 years.
Ones where posters fell like they have to criticize certain schools programs to build their programs up.
@jym626 and I can bet that whoever wrote that will change major within 2 semesters.
@paul2752 - Yep-- it will be a real eye-opener!!
My roommates was a chemical engineer -> mechanical engineer-> civil engineer -> and lastly changed to biology.
International applicants who believe that they are entitled to a free education in the US.
Threads with moving targets.
@happy1 what bothers me more are English Speaking international applicants who somehow want us to do their researches. They can type just like us, you kno
When you have to, sigh, vet a poster, go to older posts, to find the key point…or the inconsistencies.
@lookingforward ^^ Yes! People who tell applicants that if they didn’t get a certain e-mail or if they haven’t heard by a certain date, then they have been denied. When you “vet” them, sometimes they are students at a rival school. Sometimes they are freshman who are just months into their first year at very large universities and profess to know how the admissions process works. And sometimes they are disgruntled parents because their child didn’t get into a particular school in the past yet come back once a year and cause anxiety in applicants waiting to hear. [-X
^^^^ and sometimes they are HS students that have no idea about the process at all.
High school seniors who seem to have never heard of Google search.
