Like, when I hear that one of my friends is having a kid, I'll still shake my head and think 'babies having babies.' It doesn't seem right that my dad had three kids already when he was my age...

All my friends are getting married and engaged and I'm just like stop it.

I've wanted to attend HLS for so long that I can't imagine me turning them down if accepted. But all that aside I do think that I'd have to truly consider attending elsewhere if I got a full ride.
Why HLS and not YLS or SLS?
I'm not keen on the west coast and I've never truly thought I could get into Yale + I don't think they look favourably on retakes. Also I'm not from the US so one day when I want to go back to that small European country I grew up in I think that a degree from H would help me more than one from S. I could be absolutely wrong here and having to choose between the two would be a nice problem to have tbh.

Just chiming in to say I took the damn test 3 times. I don't think retaking had a whole lot to do with my cycle outcomes. Waitlisted at YLS, for what it's worth. Good luck to all of you

The Paper Chase vs Legally Blonde vs Soul man vs some other movies that I haven't seen or heard about

By the way has anyone else ever seen Soul Man? Because it is totally worth watching as a tour de force of cringeworthy material. It's like a parody of hamfisted, patronizing moral stories, except it's totally sincere and wrapped in a vaguely comic style. It's awesome.

Kinda hate the no traditional grades thing. One thing I loved about Uni was the competition. I liked utterly dominating my peers in class when it comes to taking exams and to just general cold calling. It makes me feel going knowing that I am better and smarter than the rest of my class.

Might just go CLS

That's gotta be a troll post. Nobody is THAT self-absorbed, right?

Nah I'm not trolling.

And it's not so much about being self-absorbed. It's about actually knowing that you are smart, while constantly reminding everyone of that fact.

And it works. Whatever I gotta do to get the upper hand.
Plus I really just dont like people.

......I'm pretty sure your whole response is the definition of a self-absorbed person.

Yes. I am the most self-absorbed person on the planet. Fuck other people.
