I was able to sham sham shammy sham my way into Pomona with top 20% GPA and top 1% SAT.
The thing is, a good essay goes a long, long way. I guess kids now are filming videos and doing all kinds of shit. Only do that sort of thing if you have a good schtick. Fly out to Virginia and pretend that @Marsupial_Guernica was your work maybe.
The cooger is giving good advice. I would also say that remember that college is only 4 years. Seems like a long time now, but 4 years will be the blink of an eye by the end of your twenties. Moral of that story is - you can go East to get a good degree, and come back West for grad school or job, because we're all insecure out West. I went to Pomona and not Dartmouth or Amherst because I didn't want to live in the snowy tundra of New England. At times I wonder if I gave something up what with the greater name recognition and snob-ties of those schools. Of course, I'd be an even more insufferable prick if I had.
Probably be even gayer, too.
