| one of my friend got into Stanford. He is black and really smart. he got 2180 on SAT man. 730 math, 720 reading, 730 writing. SAT II: Chemistry 770, Math Level II 770, Weighted GPA 4.5, Unweighted 3.8. He's done National Institute of Health Internship. And he lived in China for 3 years. and for PSAT he was awarded National Achievement Semi-Finalist(1 of 1600). He has even better stats than some other Nerd or Geek who studies 24/7 Asians ( got no life) |

| I am sorry but to say that Asians are geeks and nerds and that they study 24/7 is absurd. That is such a big generalization and stereotype. | |

| Those are the Asians who DON'T get into Stanford. Of course your friend would beat out those people. (And he lived in China, how cool!)
But there are certainly other types of Asians - the ones that do get into Stanford and don't study 24/7. | |

| Deferred.
Although I didn't really think about it before, I realized that it was probably predictable. I was an exchange student to Japan last year (no grades for junior year), and this year is my first opportunity to take AP classes (my school doesn't offer them, I have to take them online), so I can understand why they'd be interested in seeing my first semester grades before making a decision.
Otherwise, if you're interested:
2160 SAT, 770 Lit, 670 US Hist., 670 World Hist., 640 Math 2.
3.957 uw (my school doesn't weight) from an extremely uncompetitive school, we've never sent anyone to HYPS.

| What you mean Lance Armstrong and Xena the Warrior Princess aren't the hardest teachers you've had these past four years? Or did you have the Athletic, but slightly reminiscent of Keith, teacher? | |

| it was the notes wasn't it? Wasn't it kind of like honors bio in that she placed a powerpoint or transparency up and then had you copy it down word for word? And she makes sure if you did it as she wished? | |
