<p>wow, I thought I was the only one who didn’t apply to HYP!</p>

1222

<p>I applied to BYP.</p>

1223

<p>CC is such an utterly addicting site. I should be reading Oedipus for my AP English class… but I get enough catharsis here that I don’t need to read greek tragedies</p>

1224

<p>oedipus?</p>

<p>lets see…king visits prophet who says that his son will kill him…**** happens…prophet comes true.</p>

<p>the end.</p>

<p>i think im applying to penn and brown and columbia (parents) as well but not H or P either.</p>

1225

<p>You skipped the part about Oedipus marrying his mother. That’s the part everyone remembers :p</p>

<p>5 days if we’re lucky.</p>

<p>i’m applying to dartmouth, williams, UC, case, oberlin, and wooster (because my parents are making me)</p>

1228

<p>hahaha thanks for the link wrathofgod. now I really don’t have to finish reading and I can stay up all night checking this instead! just kidding (sort of)</p>

1229

<p>wow… they really killed that one guy who started the low SAT scores thread… poor kid</p>

1230

<p>I love Greek drama. Euripides, most of all. It’s the only thing I’m really geeky about (I hope). </p>

<p>I also applied to Williams. And Amherst and Wesleyan. Stiiiiiiillll haven’t figured out my safeties. :(</p>

1231

<p>I love drama period. except our new theater director at school is an idiot. Our Town makes me shiver it’s so good</p>

1232

<p>Im a mythology nut (you probably couldnt tell from my astounding analysis higher above)</p>

1233

<p>Wow. I can’t believe that Oedipus paper even passed. Incredible.
And while you’re at Albino Black Sheep, I highly recommend: <a href=“http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama.php[/url]”>http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>By the way, Yale is also the only Ivy I applied to!* Although, if I’m flat out rejected for EA, I may apply to Harvard just for spite.</p>

<p>*Hey look, I ended that sentence with a preposition!</p>

1234

<p>Wow that Oedipus thing was hilarious. Once I get into college I’m definitely going to spend the rest of this year adding random rap lyrics to my papers.</p>

<p>Temperance is one of the world’s most important virtues. As the great 50 Cent once said, “All a ***** really need is a lil bit,
not a lot baby girl just a lil bit.”</p>

1235

<p>I was leading a reading group focused on Greek drama and we were reading Oedipus and I don’t think the kids were toooo into it, so I put on a CD my friend wrote about it. And it was awesome and the kids loved me.</p>

1236

<p>hey. Columbia 2010 posted something interesting on the Columbia board that I find very intriguing.</p>

<hr>

<p><b>Has anyone examined the company that sponsors this Board? IGAP stands for Ivy Guaranteed Admission:/</b></p>

<p>Senior $4,000</p>

<p>Junior/Senior $5,000</p>

<p>Transfer $3,000</p>

<p>HYP $10,000</p>

<p><b>Ivy Guaranteed Admission P $15,000 </b></p>

<p>Theater/Musical
Theater $4,500</p>

<p>Have you noticed that they request that you post your SAT, GPA and your ‘hook’ to get in. Someone suggested in one of the boards that financial would be more helpful … wellllll, maybe for the applicants but NOT FOR OUR SPONSORS.</p>

<p>They are combing these boards to improve the information they sell to those who are desperate and can afford to attempt to buy their way into an Ivy.</p>

<p>I am NOT posting my scores on these boards so that College Confidential can use me to allow someone to buy their way into and Ivy for $15,000.oo</p>

<hr>

<p>any thoughts?</p>

1237

<p>Gorbachev:</p>

<p>You’ll get a good laugh. This is for you. <a href=“Xanga 2.0 is Here!”>www.xanga.com/whereisitat</a></p>

1238

<p>Who cares? It’s a win-win situation. They provide us with a free foum in which we can post whatever we want, including stats. And they get to “comb” the boards looking for stats. </p>

<p>None of us give our names, so even if they were looking at these posts (which I doubt they are) they could find similar stuff from Collegeboard. I’d rather they do that to pay their bills instead of charging us. It’s not like any of us are dumb enough to pay for that service anyways.</p>

1239

<p>pretty much my thoughts…just felt like starting a commotion.</p>

1240

<p>Hillier, you are the reason I love Yale people. </p>

<p>Anyone on the Harvard board would’ve been like: “Uh oh…SOMEBODY ended a sentence with a preposition! Looks like we can add that one to the reject list.”</p>
