<p>Something’s fishy…</p>
<p>islanders08— no, speaker hastert. this was back in '06-- i worked on his 2006 congressional campaign. I also have worked on congresswoman judy biggert and governor mitt romney’s respective 2008 campaigns.</p>
<p>frutiaspice— I have volunteered weekly for the past 3 years, ranging from 2-4 hours per week. I have danced roughly 12 hours per week for the past 4 years and am a member of an invitiational local modern dance company. I am a student member of a community advisory committee that makes suggestions to our superintendent. Member of NHS, French honors society, math honors society. have done girl scouts for the past 12 years, and have earned my silver award. have worked on the staff of the school literary magazine and have had my poetry published twice in the past two years.</p>
<p>newest newb— i took the nat’l french exam during my sophomore year, and took the ap test this past spring-- my jr. year. a 5 on the ap test means that you are ultimately fluent in the language, and it seems to be common knowledge among both colleges and high schools that the language ap tests are more difficult than others. a 4 on the french lang ap test is just as coveted as (if not more than) a 5 on other ap tests.</p>
<p>So you’re saying your ability to speak French decreased over time.</p>
<p>You definitely need to get a safety on that list. [If that’s only a partial list, excuse my outburst.] You’re competitive, but by no means a shoe-in.</p>
