<p>Hey guys, I was wondering how good off I am for college.
I have a 4.8 GPA weighted
4 GPA unweighted
Sat scores are 1610
Class rank is 22 out of 364</p>
<p>^ well since 1610 CAN’T be outa 1600 you can either:
1)improve SAT score in October or November(maybe December I think. depends on ur uni) so prac like hell in summer.
OR
2) Consider ACT
OR (and that one has always been ma fav)
3) stop trolling</p>
<p>@Hatebeingsober I understand!!</p>
<p>So does anyone think it would be a bad idea to talk about a situation that was a failure for me but eventually led to me becoming an adult? It sort of ties in two of the topics they give…</p>
<p>SCHOOL’S OUT FOR THE SUMMER!</p>
<p>What are good topics for the topic of your choice? It’s just so broad.</p>
<p>I think that the topic of choice essay is like, something you are dying for admissions to know, but is not something that is a part of the application. This is a little personal, but I think my friend who was hit by a car over the summer is writing about that and everything she has gone through.</p>
<p>What do you guys think about me writing about being left handed? I know it sounds stupid but I have a lot of great ideas</p>
<p>Sounds dumb considering how 10% of people could do the same thing.</p>
<p>I’M LEFT HANDED. </p>
<p>Anyways, this week is has been perfect so far.</p>
<p>Monday: Gets in NHS
Tuesday: Gets a new car
Wednesday: Gets nominated for Posse Scholarship</p>
<p>I wonder what Thursday will bring!</p>
<p>Lefties unite!</p>
<p>I read the Posse Scholarship with a “u” somewhere in there without an “o.”</p>
<p>I’m ambidextrous. Hah. So there. </p>
<p>I am like 44.5 hours away from Summer Vacation! Hehehe. I think I’m the only junior who can say that since I don’t have any finals next week unlike the rest of my grade. </p>
<p>I also finally got a yearbook and I wrote 3 pages in one of my friends’.</p>
<p>Story central to my identity - uhhhh no idea</p>
<p>Failure- I’ve failed many tests.</p>
<p>Challenged a belief - I prefer not to challenge ideas, though my mom would have good stories for this one</p>
<p>Place where I’m content - Does an imaginary place count?</p>
<p>Became an adult - My bat mitzvah, but I’d rather not go into that</p>
<p>Central story - I could talk about my sexuality struggle, but since I’m still sort of struggling, not many people can read that.</p>
<p>Failure - I don’t have any distinct failures, they’ve all been like me failing a test or something.</p>
<p>Challenged a belief - Never really experienced this. I such a non-conformist so I feel like I should have a story but I don’t. </p>
<p>Place where I’m content - uhhhhh…my imagination?</p>
<p>Became an adult - uhhhh…???</p>
<p>I will probably go with the central story one because that would make the best essay.</p>
<p>Even though I’m not doing the common app…</p>
<p>Central story- don’t really have one…</p>
<p>Challenged a belief- well I have a long-winded sermon ready for anyone who will listen on how the concept of taboo or swear words is ridiculous, but I don’t really challenge it since I always follow language rules (including those in my own house)</p>
<p>Place where I’m content- I like driving in my car. And also this trail that I run on everyday after school. Don’t know if I could write an essay about either one though.</p>
<p>Adult- I don’t really think I’ve had that moment yet. Unless puberty counts. But that was more of a process than a moment…</p>
<p>Failure- Easy. My experience playing golf freshman year was a complete an utter failure when it comes to performance. But I could talk about learning how to deal with that failure and sticking with a commitment no matter how rough things are going, yada yada.</p>
<p>I just realized how screwed I am.</p>
<p>Central Story - Service trip to Tibet? But who wants to hear about that…</p>
<p>Failure - I got in a wreck? But who cares?</p>
<p>Challenged a belief - I could talk about drugs. But that’s SO original.</p>
<p>Place - Research lab I guess. This wouldn’t be terrible as I’m a STEM guy.</p>
<p>Adult - Family member died. Whoop dee doo.</p>
<p>Any advice? Also @000Chet I kinda want to hear the sermon.</p>
<p>Well it helps to watch me in person because I have a good stage presence, but basically my argument is all about how they’re just words, and words have no magical powers behind them. Words are used to express meaning, and the meaning behind so-called bad words are allowed to be expressed in other words.</p>
<p>For example, you can’t say “Oh *<strong><em>” (is swearing allowed here? I don’t know), but you can say “Oh shoot.” And you can’t say “I stepped in dog *</em></strong>” but you can say “I stepped in dog poop.” Now I don’t believe in using swear words all the time, because they lose their meaning. They’re supposed to have a bit more power behind them. But I certainly like to drop one now and then for effect, if I’m in the proper environment that is. </p>
<p>And I also like to finish on the fact that I’m all for offensive words being frowned upon. I would never defend the use of the n word. On the same note, I don’t condone using swear words to attack someone else (calling someone a b*tch).</p>
<p>I actually swayed my psych teacher on this subject when I have gave this speech to him. He still won’t let us swear though.</p>
<p>If there’s one thing I learned this year in English, it’s that language is inefficient.</p>
<p>Pretty sure we’ve done this before… But here are mine:
Central Story - I am an Asian who is slightly autistic, is stupid, and who suffered/still suffers from depression. Also, a lot of fellow Asians don’t like me since I’m Japanese. I’m a weird Asian, basically. </p>
<p>Failure - Um… well… I guess I could talk about how my parents think I’m a failure and how I’m really hard on myself as a result?</p>
<p>Challenged a belief - Basically being a dumb Asian. Otherwise about how I’m not the typical gal. I’m not interested in fashion, I don’t count my calories, etc. </p>
<p>Place - Library. Very cliche. But I mean I guess it might be surprising considering I’m majoring in science/have a lot of science ECs. </p>
<p>Adult - I don’t think I’m an adult in anybody’s POV.</p>
<p>You’re obviously not stupid if you’re on CC :)</p>
<p>^
That’s debatable. Have you seen some of the threads people post on here?</p>
<p>Who’s ready for SAT/Subject test scores? I’m so nervous. I want them to be released now!</p>
