“I will say this and enforce thisNov 18 2014Undecided
I will say this and enforce this. If you are meant to be here, you will get in. If your grades are average and you are an average student, you should for sure not be here, so do not be disappointed when you are not accepted. The truth is, if you can't get accepted, you wouldnt be able to pass here anyway. I was a straight A student in high school with 7AP classes and a 2000 on the SATS and i still feel like I do not compare to the other students here. Whats meant to be will be, but if you aren't brilliant look elsewhere.
