|How many more reasons does Yale need?|Seriously. First, there's just my awesome-ness. Then there was that whole thread devoted to me on LSD. And now, this conversation that I just had with a girl who came upon my LSN profile (lists where I'm applying and other info about me. I get really quite liberal with the amount of information I share on the website -- I mean, if I'm going to get into Yale, people need to know what kind of kid with a 3.02/163 combo can pull that off).RandomGirl: hey, i got your screen name from lsn... and all i have to say is WOWW
SWS2.1: i'm sorry?
RandomGirl: your stats are very impressive
SWS2.1: hmm... my stats aren't impressive at all... i mean, depending on how you look at it
SWS2.1: but thanks, i guess.
RandomGirl: stats meaning background also
SWS2.1: oh... hmm... that might be true. thanks.
SWS2.1: are you applying to law school now?
RandomGirl: yes, im not on lsn yet, i will make an acct soon
[...]
RandomGirl: well i was also gonna let you know that before i read your profile on there i was a little more close minded -- i didnt think it was fair for someone to get into law school if they had less competitive scores just because they overcame diversity etc etc.
RandomGirl: I thought the "best applicant" was based on scores alone
RandomGirl: and after i read your profile it really opened my eyes to someone having to overcome so much, and i realize now why schools do what they do
RandomGirl: it really made me realize a lot
SWS2.1: lol uhm, that's good, i guess
SWS2.1: i mean, it saddens me that it took me to show that to you
SWS2.1: but whatever works, i suppose.
RandomGirl: yes i know... i guess i never really understood
SWS2.1: no one can understand everything... if you never had to understand it, why would you?
RandomGirl: i guess --- i dont know, i just now think that someone like you should get admitted OVER someone who has had everything handed to them.... i really never thought about it like that before
RandomGirl: i definitely see why schools do it, and i think it is great... i will keep up with where you are admitted.... and I am definitely pulling for ya
SWS2.1: thanks
