Well, none of us has a crystal ball, but you look terrific.

but i only did sports for one year
will that hurt?

It looks as though your schedule was too busy for you to continue sports. But you show quite a lot of leadership and teamwork experience, and unless a student is a varsity recruit, that's what sports participation would be demonstrating. On your app, don't worry about what you haven't done. Just focus on what you have accomplished, what you really care about, and what you would contribute to campus life. Take time with your essays. And make sure you have great recommendations. You have every reason to be very confident.

You're black. I would be extremely suprised if u didnt get in.

slam dunk!

...or should I rather say: Princeton will pride itself to have ED candidates of your calibre!

You can get into any college in the country.

Black male--1600? On nearly every other instance, adcoms would brush off a 1600 and say "yeah, but what else is there...?" But I would not be surprised if you were the only black male in the country with a 1600, if not one of less than ten.

Why the heck are you even asking for our opinions?

Either you're lying or are extremely vain and unsure of yourself. You don't need to apply ED unless you really want to. I would shop around to see who would give me the most merit money. Good luck.

He's fake. He gives different stats for each post:

....lol wtf?

You guys are dumb, so what , I can't let my friends use mine too?

By Omes1313 (Omes1313) on Sunday, September 12, 2004 - 07:37 pm: Edit

Do you guys think that a black person can't be smart or something?

By Tsunashima1 (Tsunashima1) on Sunday, September 12, 2004 - 09:54 pm: Edit

Omes1313, you're obviously lying, and if you try to deny it again, I'm going to be ROFL.

You and your three "black male" "friends" are all Debate Captains. All of your friends have slightly different stats, and yet two of them were both volunteer at St Joseph's for 480 hours, President of NHS, intern at a bank, Class President, and Spanish Club Founder/President. Give us a break.

Now let me ask you this: why the heck would you want to waste our time like that?

Now let me ask you this: " Why the heck would you want to waste [y]our time like that?"

By Tsunashima1 (Tsunashima1) on Monday, September 13, 2004 - 07:35 am: Edit

Why he's wasting his own time doing this? Because I think he wants to boost his self-esteem.

By Siavash8p (Siavash8p) on Monday, September 13, 2004 - 12:21 pm: Edit

I hope he feels better now!!!!
Good luck with your Princeton application!!!!
