What they look for is:<BR/>1. grades<BR/>2. clubs person has belonged to<BR/>3. volunteer work<BR/>4. teacher recommendations<BR/>Now if they had to not have someone because their mother lost their temper with them, slapped them, or they were obnoxious with a parent, then they wouldn't have any student at all.<BR/>Also, think about this: Anne Lamott is a well known writer. If her son applied to a college, they could see dollar signs. She could do readings at the school, or (in the case of a private college) can give a mometary gift. <BR/>Also, UC Berkeley admitted a young man who watched his best friend murder a child and didn't do a thing about it. <BR/>So unfortuately, your argument does not hold up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1148669321269709712006-05-26T14:48:00.000-04:002006-05-26T14:48:00.000-04:00If you're a movie star.If you're just trying to le...If you're a movie star.<BR/><BR/>If you're just trying to lead a normal life, however...<BR/><BR/>CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1148480475713332772006-05-24T10:21:00.000-04:002006-05-24T10:21:00.000-04:00You have a FAR more optimistic view of these thing...You have a FAR more optimistic view of these things than I do. <BR/><BR/>I would assume that ANY negative information would be a strike against him in such a competitive process. <BR/><BR/>All other things being roughly eqaul, surely if you see that one kid has acted immaturely recently, the other kids start to look mature by comparison. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you would be able to view him the same way. I don't think lots of people would have. <BR/><BR/>CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1148417288041745912006-05-23T16:48:00.000-04:002006-05-23T16:48:00.000-04:00Yeah.

Since then, I'm careful to consider these things. <BR/><BR/>(Also, I met Linguist Friend for the first time at church. The next Sunday, he wanted to talk about some of the things he'd found out about me by googling me.)<BR/><BR/>CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1148417140377282382006-05-23T16:45:00.000-04:002006-05-23T16:45:00.000-04:00LOL.
