<p>what should you say if you got into harvard, princeton, and yale and your teacher asks you what college (singular) you got into?</p>
<p>i highly doubt i would get into any/all of them but im curious what you guys think would be proper etiquette in this situation. would you say only your top choice even though you think it might easily change? would listing all the schools you got into appear highly arrogant? i’d like your thoughts.</p>
<p>You could say, “Oh I got into a couple of my schools.” And then she’d probably say, “Oh, well where ALL did you get in?” And then you tell her.</p>
<p>It wouldn’t sound arrogant if you said it in a factual way, something like “Oh actually I’ve gotten into Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, but methinks I’ll be going to the best school next year, Stanford of course.” If anything the teacher then feels ignorant of mentally limiting you to only one school when you’re capable of more than that (and of the logical fallacy of not believing that being good enough for one of these schools means you’re really good enough for all of them). Trust me, arrogance is only in the attitude.</p>
<p>“Trust me, arrogance is only in the attitude.”</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree. I’d just say that I got into all the schools, and that I’d have a hard time deciding which one to attend. I’d touch that up by saying that while the decision is hard to make, the position of making this decision is great, and that I am greatly humbled to have been chosen by all these colleges. I’d make it sound as modest as I could.</p>
<p>As far as teachers go, I had it pretty well last year. I had a ton of teachers each wanting me to get into a different school. One wanted me to go to MIT, another Harvard, another Stanford, another Yale, another NYU… So I just told those individual teachers as I got accepted. They pieced it together on their own.</p>
<p>Gosh. That is awesome.</p>
<p>Just say that you’re deciding between a few schools at the moment and that you’ll have to check them out some more to break it down further.</p>
<p>Also, if I’m faced with this dilemma, I will personally PayPal $1 to everyone on this site.</p>
<p>^ same. 10char.</p>
<p>To the above two posters: how about instead of pursuing your radical leftist agenda by trying to spread the wealth around you just paypal me $2000. We all know $1 won’t do anything individually, and at least if you give it to me you’ll get the trickle down benefit of my spending.</p>
<p>^ Quite a valid argument. It’s a deal. If I get into 4 out of 4 (HYPS), you’ve made yourself 2 grand haha</p>
<p>^ how about you go moderate just pay $100 to everyone here who actually posted in your thread.</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>If I got into HYP I’d pay everyone on this site $2.</p>
<p>If I got into HYPM I would accept $1 from everyone on this site…</p>
<p>Which would be astounding, considering I didn’t apply to Princeton or MIT =P</p>
<p>^ LOL, sherlock! I can see that on CC: "OMG, GoT inTO HYPSM and NevER AppLied!!11!!!1!</p>
<p>Sorry, just posted on this thread for the money. ;)</p>
<p>I’m posting on this thread twice now so I get double the cash. OMG GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE GET IN! Lol.</p>
<p>Also, AdCom’s, if you’re listening…</p>
<p>My inbox is always open.</p>
<p>Just kidding.</p>
<p>Unless you’re not.</p>
<p>um, i think the OP (in other words me) should receive some monetary award since said awards would not exist without me</p>
<p>eh?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Speaking of that, it’d be funny if I got into Amherst. I don’t remember applying, but I got an email saying they received my application. It was eerie.</p>
<p>^ Huh. I got an emal from Harvard saying that they looked forward to reviewing my application! Except it was addressed to Susie. My name isn’t Susie.</p>
<p>that is bizarre</p>
