I’m usually not one to judge others…

…but this profile of “an outgoing senior” bears striking resemblance to another post describing yourself (thread: “only a freshman, but…”).

Very interesting. Merely a coincidence, that you have an identical twin who’s three years older?

Calcruzer · April 19, 2007, 12:30am

Why would we need to give chances?

If this person is a senior, they’ve already applied and been accepted to a few universities, and needs to mail their acceptance in by May 1st (about two weeks from now).

computergeek173 · April 19, 2007, 6:13am

This person is a really good friend of mine and I really aspire to do many of the things he does… that’s the most likely reason of the similarities. Besides, i couldn’t have my AP scores yet, could I? lol…

computergeek173 · April 19, 2007, 6:15am

ohh… thanks calcruzer, that was my error! I meant outgoing senior NEXT year. That whole senior section is basically hopeful (look at the ECs and Achievements)

The valedictorian/salutatorian is calculated with a continuous straight A record… so that could possibly change (and that’s assuming the others tied keep their records as well)

mj93 · April 19, 2007, 4:33pm

MIT (EA) = High match
Caltech = High Match
Stanford = Slight reach
Rice University = Match
Carnegie Mellon = Low match
Vanderbilt = Low match
Cornell = High-ish match
RPI = dont know
Johns Hopkins = Low match
RIT = dont know
California-Berkeley = Match
Harvey Mudd = Low match

G_day · April 19, 2007, 4:40pm

Do you really think people are that stupid, computergeek173? And why are you not willing to admit that these are your own ECs, [hopeful/potential] test scores, etc? Worried that doing so would make it appear as if you don’t have a life?

japstudent12 · April 19, 2007, 4:57pm

hmm something smells fishy.
Why does this guy already have his final IB scores with 7<code>s/6</code>s?
You cant possibly finish your IB diploma in your junior year. That makes no sense.

computergeek173 · April 19, 2007, 5:35pm

excuse you!

you know what? some of you people just can’t put a match down without a little whining! (To G’day)

my goodness… IDK about his IB test scores - he gave me a notepad file and I put it down.

if you simply must perservere in attacking this post, then don’t post at all!

milki · April 19, 2007, 6:35pm

These are your own stats (as always “predicted”)

computergeek173 · April 19, 2007, 8:06pm

I certainly can see some simililarities between but there are some differences.

<ol>
<li>I plan to STAY in spanish club</li>
<li>I plan to stay in top 10 … salutatorian is possible</li>
<li>I want all 7s… apparently this guy did not get all sevens (not that he’s not skilled)</li>
<li>AP scores…</li>
<li>Haven’t taken ANY courses at ERAU</li>
</ol>

Is that enough to convince you?

If not, oh well - what does it matter?

If you were chancing me with these stats, why would you care?

computergeek173 · April 19, 2007, 8:39pm

well, going to Mu Alpha Theta State Convention tomorrow! Adios a todos. Thanks for whatever you contributed here.

milki · April 19, 2007, 8:48pm

Because you’re a Freshmen and are “predicting” these stats. Realistically speaking, there’s no way that EVERYTHING will go your way.

Good Luck, nonetheless.

southeasttitan · April 19, 2007, 11:16pm

How do you explain the fact that he is a junior who has already passed his IB tests?

Personally, I am sick of your “I will be val/sal get all sevens” chance posts all over the board. Get a life.

Sheed30 · April 20, 2007, 4:51am

loo…stupid Freshman think they’re tight.

computergeek173 · April 20, 2007, 6:10am

I wrote that ONE TIME on the chances board and maybe another time. I hardly consider that all over the board. Plus, those were HOPEFUL situations… what someone can’t hope to get those anymore? I’ve already explained this numerous times; perhaps you should read the entire thread before you go around to other forums knocking on people.

southeasttitan · April 20, 2007, 9:00am

I read the whole thread, and somehow, that didn’t serve to make me any less annoyed or you less obnoxious. But neither am I knocking on you; I’m simply stating my feelings. I thought you might like to know so in the future, when you go around posting your own hypothetical chances under strange circumstances, you at least have the good sense to do it under a false username.
