<p>Anyone know how long it takes for subject tests online? Is there time to get score before the last late registration date for December? My son is pretty confident that he got the 800 on math 2, close to that on chem, but physics he thinks will be maybe 730 range. Only needs three for Harvard, which will be a reach for him anyway, so wondering if he should register for one December one or not.</p>
<p>nov.20 online, those scores wouldn’t keep him out of the running</p>
<p>Hey, thanks much.</p>
<p>your welcome more</p>
<p>Loool I have a feeling that the OP is asian. Read the post with an asian accent; it sounds funny =P </p>
<p>No offense at all to anyone.</p>
<p>Well, I’m certainly not Asian, and even though I’m a 5th generation Irish American, I would not be offended if someone thought I was Asian. However, I find the assumption that (1) all Asian accents are the same; (2) any Asian accent is funny; and (3) throwing in a “gee, I don’t mean to offend anyone” proviso after making a steroetypical comment somehow makes it OK to be questionable at best.</p>
<p>crazy mom just owned cliff_hanger hahaha</p>
<p>moms go on collegeconfidential?</p>
<p>Overbearing to say the least.</p>
<p>According to College Confidential:
College Confidential was founded to demystify many aspects of the college admissions process, and to help even “first timer” students and parents understand the process like “old pros.” At College Confidential, we have assembled an editorial team to bring our visitors the best and most unique college admissions content on the Web. </p>
<p>It appears that College Confidential welcomes parents. Obviously, some of its users do not.</p>
<p>My mom comes on, too. I told her that it was not okay for her to be more obsessed with college than me, but she insists upon coming here anyway.</p>
<p>On a side note, have any of you seen the urban dictionary definition of College Confidential? It’s hilarious, to say the least! I hope no one is offended by this; I come here often and I find it HILARIOUS…</p>
<p>College Confidential:
Among the worst websites on the internet. A place to go where you can read about snotty geniuses who feel the need to brag in the ultimate attempt to make the “average high school student” feel pity on the themselves. An absolutely awful website that privileges and celebrates the Ivy League-Potential student, while completely forgetting about everyone else.</p>
<p>Jonathan from New York: Hello, my name is Jonathan from New York. I was wondering if I could get into any college in the entire universe with these ****<em>ty</em> grades and these terrible credentials. Will someone please help me!? Here goes: 5.0 GPA (on 4.0 scale); 1600 SATs; participated in every club in my high school; Started 12 new clubs/became Club President of each respective one; was Valedictorian of my class; participated in Community Service; Volunteered all over the place; Held jobs at 8 different workplaces; Wrote an amazing College Application essay; Teachers wrote excellent recommendations about me/sent those to the colleges; participated as Captain of every available high school sport team; played 4 different instruments/played in Jazz Band/Orchestra/Marching Band/Symphony Band/Choir… Oh yeah, and my high school is ranked #1 in the entire country… WHAT ARE MY CHANCES PEOPLE??? HELP ME!! I’m just so worried, and I probably won’t even get into the nearby Community College!! HEEEEEELLLPPPP!!!</p>
<p>ME: You ignoramus!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i wish crazy mom was my mom, she just owned that kid.</p>
<p>That was hilarious inthezone, it does describe about every “chances” thread. Everyone hates them, yet somehow are driven to post them and respond to them anyway. </p>
<p>I’m not exactly obsessed with college; if it was up to me, my son would take the full ride merit scholarship to the state school 90 miles away with the good engineering school and be close by and debt free. He scored high enough on some tests to want to start exploring his options, but he just doesn’t have time to research what to do, when to take what test, whether to apply EA, etc. between completing admission and scholarship applications and essays, several AP and other classes, the girl, the job, the ECs, and everything else a senior in high school has to do. I have been delegated the task and kind of hate it. Success means sending him farther away. But, the good part is that you learn that in between everything else, there are some great kids out there in the same boat and they will one day be solving the world’s problems. For every bad experience in the process there are dozens of good ones. So, I’ll do my best to help him find the college of his dreams and cry my heart out when he goes.</p>
<p>^^^ Yeah, I hate how a lot of people post chances threads when they KNOW they can get into college xyz.</p>
<p>idk, with all the business majors on CC, I think these kids might be CREATING some of those world problems. lol jk</p>
