And, Tra, to hell with the Monday morning quarterbacks - come to UT! I promise I'll never ever mention the Rose Bowl if I see you Well, it's probably looking that way....but ugh...having to go to the same school as that whiny, pompous Vince Young? He, more than anything else, is making Virginia look reaaaaalllllly good.

Well, I haven't checked this thread in a few days, but I have to say that the majority of what practiceboy said was irritating at best. The rejections board is for those of us who got rejected to cheer each other up and wallow in our sorrows--not for someone who was already admitted to come in and tell us that perhaps we had bad soft factors. It's true that you don't know why we were rejected, and throwing out your own baseless speculation is no better than what you came in here to criticize in the first place.

Sorry, practiceboy but I've had enough of the Harvard apologetics from you. We get it. They are the best ever. They doth make no mistake. Fine. Ditto. But I'm going to try to play nice and keep the rest of my snarky comments to myself. Ah @#!* it. I have to wonder about HLS admissions when an admit comes on to the rejection board and is surprised to see how much hate they're getting. (Yeah, I know I forget what thread I'm in all the time and that I have no common sense, but I also don't have an acceptance to HLS, so I have an excuse. )
