<p>The following is a true story…</p>
<p>Jerry always thought he was a smart kid. He had a 4.0 unweighted, was valedictorian, and would have 16 AP classes by the time he graduated. He was also a nationally ranked in tennis, chess, and basketweaving. He was involved in several research projects at MIT with top scientists in the country. Jerry was president of band, the student body, national honor society, and model UN too. Guess how many comunity service hours he had? Over 5,000 hours! that’s over half a year! Jerry had his hopes set high… Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford… but sadly it all went wrong…</p>
<p>His SAT II scores were amazing. He had an 800 in Math IIc, chemistry, physics, literature, chinese, spanish, and biology EM. He was anxiously waiting his SAT scores. He kept clicking refresh and at 6 AM he saw his scores. His heart dropped and he fell out of his chair. He started crying… “why???” he said “why???” It turns out Jerry got a 2390 on his SAT. He got a 790 in math. Do you want to know why?</p>
<li>If x=4, then 2x+1=?
a.5
b.7
c.8
d.9
e.10</li>
</ol>
<p>Jerry put A! He misread the question! He thought it said x+1!!</p>
<p>A few months later Jerry got letters from the school he applied to. All of them were rejections. It turns out that Jerry didn’t apply to any safety schools. Jerry is now working at mcdonalds and on welfare.</p>
<p>If you don’t be careful, this could happen to you…</p>
