Denying the truth doesn't get anyone anywhere

Here's a better question.

You have 0.000000000000001% of succeeding, and you really want to succeed.

Do you take the chance, if you're not going to regret it later? Or just don't try at all?



You're denying the truth yourself by listening 100% to what your parents say. I'm denying the truth because I'm not backing down without a fight.

And last time I've checked, 0 < 0.000000000000001



Sure, parents raised you up. Blah blah blah. But this is the stage where you have to make your own decision. Are you going to stop because people tell you that you don't have the potential?

Maybe it is the truth. For both of us. No one knows the answer until everything's over.

Are you going to back down and be scared just because your parents told you that you suck?


P.S. Maybe I'm denying the truth because I'm scared of failing. But that doesn't matter now; if I fail, then I fail. I'll just try to transfer out or go to graduate school in MIT. No outside force is going to stop me from making this decision.

supernovamaniac has a very good point if you exercise what he says in common sense. If there is a school that you really want to go to even if you have a 'low' GPA/SAT (which you obviously don't), there is no reason you shouldn't apply if you are given the chance.

Don't just go applying to every Ivy League (this is obvious), but if you actually want to go to MIT, why the fuck not?

I hate to recycle shitty rhetoric, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

lol. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense to apply if you want to, but as long as you acknowlege you don't have good odds you're fine.


UCSB is quite awesome, but I'd still prefer berkeley/la if I get in.
