[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't sleep last night and was watching 2025 "watch me as I open my acceptances" videos on youtube. 
Many kids getting in to a half dozen top20 schools with a 3.9/1400/33/10 APs from schools in underrepresented states. I'm not even talking about Mississippi but places like Oregon, Arizona, etc. 
It's the same on Reddit.  Kids have these INSANE results (like they're choosing between Princeton, Duke and Penn) and then you read their stats and they have a 33 and no AP exams (despite taking 10 AP classes) and they're ASIAN or white as can be. 
It's freaking night and day.   :cry:  :cry:  :cry: [/quote]

OMG you're right. It's so much harder to apply to college from Maryland or Virginia instead of anywhere else. Try applying from California or New York or Massachusetts. Or better, try surviving high school in a competitive high school in NYC or the SF Bay area where parents have tons of resources, multiple degrees and are legacies from Stanford, Yale and Princeton.

Trust me it's easier to be applying from a high school where they give out As to the majority of kids, regardless of talent.

The problem isn't where you are applying from. The problem is that you're all applying to the most obvious, overbranded schools. Try to branch out beyond the 40 most popular schools and you'll be just fine. [/quote]
