<p>hey everbody,</p>
<p>sorry for the delay, but i really don’t visit CC that much anymore. I’m exhausted and ready for bed, so i’ll just address two of the most frequented comments:</p>
<p>@ataraxis and others</p>
<p>1.) the Val got accepted to 2 of the three schools she applied to (SUNY Buffalo honors-full ride and University of Rochester)…According to her she will be “happily attending the U of R in the fall”. I am not too sure how sincere this happiness is however; she obviously wanted Yale, and i think she would have thrived at say Columbia or Vassar College. Unfortunately, imo she really wasnt prepared for the admissions process (as in researching colleges, etc) and i am positive that the school did not do enough to help her out. Of course, this whole ordeal takes personal initiative as well, but i am sure she was always busy w/ work and was unable to visit colleges since she is from a low-income family</p>
<p>2.) Yup, I am stoked about Cornell (CAS) in the fall especially because i got in with NO TRUE HOOK. (I mean ~2100SAT and Salutatorian of a public school is not that great!) I wholeheartedly believe that it was my personality that permeated my entire application (teacher recs, personal essays, ecs, interview, etc) that ultimately earned me my spot. Thank for all the congratulations!</p>
