Yes, me is gonna be a kooledge stoodunt.

So right now I am awash in college app stuff. I really hate it. I have deadlines out the wazoo and I really want to get into one of my schools. My number one choice is Duke, then Wash U. You can decide which one is a safety school, because they're both pretty good. My real safety schools are SLU and Hillsdale College in Michigan. I am actually above the middle fifty percent with my grades and such, so I expect to get into those two. My safety safety school is Mizzou, and if I don't get in there I will cry. My complete wild card-just to say I got in there-school is NYU. But like I said, I just want to say I got in. It would take a fantastic financial aid package for that to happen, but if I got to that would be pretty awesome. So I spend this week fretting over my Mizzou and SLU stuff, then I have until January 1 for my NYU stuff. Finally, I have until January 15 to finish Wash U. However, by that time I will be completely subdued by financial aid apps. Those will be worse than anything else I have had to so far. Its a mess, and I hope it works out. If you wonder what my motivation for getting through all of this is, I've got two words: Community College. I refuse. I'm going to real college, thank you very much.

Your blatant pomposity will make you a wait list candidate at both HC and SLU... if you're lucky. Back up shmack up.

I assume your label of me as pompastic or pompous stems not from the actual post on which you commented, but from my other posts which highlight my very definite and partisan views on politics. If this is the case, thank you for taking note of them. I hope that you use them to educate others properly, seeing as how you are in that field. If this is not the case, and you somehow drew your pompastic definition from my college post, then I don't think you know what you are talking about.
