<p>what is ridiculous is that someone takes 6 ap classes then worries about screwing up and dropping 4 places in the standings. if you’re going to take a heavy workload, then take it. to then worry about the consequences of same afterward is off base. if the poster wants people to say, “Poor baby, it’ll all be alright,” well then they have you to hold his or her hand. the truth is number two is significantly different than number 6 and the real world acknowledges that. i never told anyone not to take 6 ap classes. i wouldn’t do it myself if i were worried about dropping in the standings, but that was his choice. will it matter to uchi that his app says 6/xxx as opposed to 2/xxx? probably not, but it sure as heck looks better to have the 2/xxx. also i would like to know where it is that i oppose uchi in every way. although this posting is on the uchi forum, i don’t see where the question posted was about uchi in particular and i initially responded without uchi in mind. just because my pov is different than that of others does not make me bitter. fyi, i am quite content and satisfied with myself and express that by stating my unique (as i find out now) opinions. </p>
<p>As to the question of why i like commenting on this forum, i have stated the reasons in other threads but would be happy to reiterate. first off, i don’t watch a lot of tv or play video games, so i do have a fair amount of time to fool around on these boards. i also happen to enjoy the reactions i get on this forum that one doesn’t get on a lot of the other forums. the uchi affiliated people have a central thread running through them and that is that they are somewhat prickly about uchi’s relationship to more selective schools. i find it amusing to see the responses and the gyrations they go through to explain away the high acceptance rate of the school so that uchi would compare better to more selective institutions. you don’t get that on other forums. yes, someone (please excuse me for not remembering who) mentioned tufts and bowdoin who are also somewhat touchy about this, but the fact is, tufts is not in uchi’s league. acceptance rates aside, uchi is only a touch below the heavy hitters whereas tufts is an escalator ride down. bowdoin just doesn’t have enough posters to warrant my attention. </p>
<p>lastly, concerning your befuddlement, i really can’t help you there. maybe if you changed your breakfast cereal that would help you reach another level of enlightenment.</p>
<p>p.s. i also am beginning to think some people actually enjoy my postings and may share my pov, although it doesn’t matter to me one way or the other whether they do or don’t.</p>
