I can see you are good at math--SATs.

By Sethriddley (Sethriddley) on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 10:32 pm: Edit

Wow, you should teach me how to score over 800 on an SAT II...

By Rubenizm (Rubenizm) on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 10:33 pm: Edit

you don't know how to spell dartmouth and yet you wanna go there?

on the other hand...that is not the smallest of the problems with this post.

By Tavilach (Tavilach) on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 10:34 pm: Edit

I know. 980 is really impressive...probably your ticket in.

By Alise (Alise) on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 11:13 pm: Edit

hey i want more than 800 on the SAT II's its not fair. over here in my world we only get 800 as a perfect score. Darn.

By Culovv (Culovv) on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 11:32 pm: Edit

You obviously found many errors on the SAT II, and reported them to ets, who in return gave you 100+ extra points. I wish i was that smart!

By Mlsmateo (Mlsmateo) on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 01:25 am: Edit

How come its always the smart people that always get the great scores? What about me (crying)?

By Hahaha (Hahaha) on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 01:48 am: Edit

Isn't it a bit presumptuous to say you are already an National Merit Scholar? not to mention those...colorful...SAT II scores.

By Dumbguy (Dumbguy) on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 01:51 am: Edit

By Neo (Neo) on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 05:36 pm: Edit

Weighted GPA doesn't mean a damn thing, my friend.

If you came to my school with those grades, you'd barely have a 4.2 W.

By Giovanni (Giovanni) on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 11:33 pm: Edit

What does that have to do with anything, Neo?

Dumbguy, I think you are perfect. Invincible.

By Dumbguy (Dumbguy) on Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 12:14 am: Edit

Thank u Giovanni finally some guy that has a life and doesnt pick peoples stats apart and BTW i suck at typing cause i aint even got no computer i have to use the local library's comp.

I KNOW I DONT TALK LIKE A SMART ASS THATS CAUSE IM NOT A SMART ASS WHO HAS TO SOUND SMART ALL THE TIME LIKE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE UMM I WONT MENTIONS NAMES BUT LETS JUST CALL THEM Rubenizm (Rubenizm)

By Culovv (Culovv) on Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 12:32 am: Edit

You should have used the word "smart" in that sentence one more time... only then would we believe you are truly intelligent. There is one key between then 7 and 9. If you read while you type (most people do), then you would have noticed that you typed a 9 instead of a 7. Three times.

This guy is ••••••••. Im sure hundreds of people have his stats (except 900+), but he would be lucky to make it out of second grade with that grammar.

By 6891 (6891) on Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 03:15 am: Edit

Hey Dumbguy, don't get upset over this. Everyone misspallls (see?). Just don't mispell on the actual apps.. lol. a 1590.....I'm so envious 1/650? .....ARGHH don't even get me started?...

By Gotspice (Gotspice) on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 12:16 am: Edit

By Highlighter (Highlighter) on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 01:11 am: Edit

maybe you should go to the ivies if you dont like talking with smart people.

6891: Just don't mispell on the actual apps

Its misspell... with two s's

By Hbdesi (Hbdesi) on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 02:14 am: Edit

pssst... UC GPA cant exceed 4.4.. think about it.. they only give u 8 semesters of 'honors' credit.. meaning 4 year long classes..
if u took 5 classes ur each junior year and sophmore year ud have 10 classes.. each wit As means a 10*4= 40... + those wieghted points.. 44.. divide by # of classes.. 4.4.. u people wit 5.9 UC GPAs scare me..

By 6891 (6891) on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 04:20 am: Edit

wow... my bad. and btw..are UC GPAs all that matter...they don't look at your unweighted school gpa ..do they?
