So it’s Mediocre Male syndrome? “You want to go out with me?” “No, sorry, I’m not interested.” “Good because you’re ugly! Who would want to go out with you anyway?” |
Craziest response I’ve read on DCUM this month. Sometimes you can look at a person and say ‘Only when pigs fly’, it’s like that for parents and some schools, it’s not sour grapes, it’s mild to severe disgust |
Which Ivies had 50 60 70 % acceptance rates and when? Provide sources. |
Sure, some posters are very anti red state but plenty of southern schools get love on this board. Not just the Duke, Vandy, and Wake type places. Lots of positive discussion about Georgia, South Carolina, Elon, Clemson, for example.
