Adverbs

Most great authors really don't give a shit about some stupid rules and conventions thought up by schoolteachers with unwarranted senses of self importance. Yeah, you should avoid becoming a Rowling but there's no reason to pitch the adverb into the trash just because someone memed you into believing that they are the mark of an amateur.

constructing sentences in a way so they don't need them

they often, but not always, sound like shit. So the only rule you need is: don't use them when they sound like shit. Which is often.

lol

Surely you don't seriously think that user. Adverbs are such a wonderfully versatile tool. I really, truly think you should entirely reconsider your opinion

columbia undergrad is fine. it's no harvard but it's very very good.

columbia masters is one of the most transparent money grabs in all of the ivy league.

t. yale undergrad, harvard grad (phd, not masters shit), did a year at oxford for kicks

get bent

I never said anything about money, I'm asking you to prove it for sure

I'm applying for Yale and Columbia and if you're legit I want to ask a few questions

>t.
>get bent
Yeah, you sure went to Harvard.

>this jealous

>I show that your claim is likely false
>LOL jelly
If you did go to Harvard indeed, it was to Harvard's detriment.

careful not to choke on all that jealousy buddy

you're pathetic. you're probably going to work for me one day.

You're both pathetic.c

I'm not seeing any proof
Any jackoff can claim they're going to these schools but really this is statistically probably far more people than would usually appear in this thread

metaphors are only worthwhile if its an extended metaphor.

is there anything more plebby about being elitist about what SCHOOL you went to. fucking americans fäm. going to columbia or yale or havard or mit isnt an achievement in its own right - its a means to achieve greater things latter you delusional fucks.

you got spooked into spending thousands of pounds to boast on Veeky Forums about your school.

all you fucks are just going "stop boasting about that uni. btw i went to this uni", you hypocritical cunts.

stop asking for proof fâm, its not particularly rare to get into a good school. also theres super high confirmation bias - people only reply to uni circle jerks if they went somewhere decent.

p.s. if you want to out-boast about your uni make a university thread. no problem with that.

pls dont this board is underage and high school/undergrad enough as is

oh great, another idiot who thinks they know something about higher education in the USA.

it's not like a willingness to pay more is what gets you into a school like Harvard- it's (overhwelmingly) merit based.

second, it's not like you pay more to go to a school like harvard- its about the same as any private school, in fact ivies etc are often cheaper because they have a shit ton of money to give out as scholarships.

i subscribe to Containment Theory in 4chanology. i dont particularly mind shit threads because this is a slow board.

OP here. I *deeply* regret making this thread. I ask everyone to sage if they must reply.

well, i admit im from bongistan - but ive read some pretty reputably studies/articles about how much of a moneygrab american university complex has become.

american university selection is - compared to european (incl. british) - much less merit-based. e.g. legacy preference and affirmative action is illegal in uk (and i think EU). also qualifications from age 16-18 is almost entirely how admission is determined, rather than extra-circulars and SAT like in america.

and saying that harvard is no more a money-grab than any other private school is hardly a great position.

but im not entirely sure how much american uni is a scam, certainly not as sure as i am that boasting about your uni is pleb-tier garbage.

You're all pathetic. t. Cambridge PhD student

Hey girl whatchu doin l8ter?

the moneygrab is mostly the shitty privates and state schools.

getting even a modest financial aid package makes going to an elite school worth it for most people.

did you hear about oxford being 1st in the world, according to times? bullshit or no

Carefully.
