<p>@Robert
Ohhh… okay so you guys have a different grading scale.</p>

<p>good luck on the ACT =D
oooo I guess you just have to get 29 then =p lol</p>

<p>btw, this is totally random but is 18 your favorite number or something?</p>

<p>@hpaero1 well I REALLY want to go to Stanford and you need a 31 and that’s what I want lol or higher.</p>

<p>■■■■■!! Yeah, it’s my fav number! :slight_smile: lol. Why?</p>

<p>@Robert
Ohh, okay. well good luck =D
I really want to go to MIT, but… it’s a huge reach…like in my dreams =p
My friend goes to Stanford on a full scholarship but he lived in NYC and went to ISEF like 2 times.</p>

<p>lol i dunno i was just curious because I always write @Robert and leave out the 18 so I was like…hmmm i wonder if that’s a favorite number or something.</p>

<p>@hpaero1 i’ve visted Stanford and fell in love lol. That’s why I want to go there, it’s such a beautiful school lol. Ahh ISEF twice?! Omgsh. I REALLY want to go I know if I go march 6th. </p>

<p>Lol yeah it’s my fav number :slight_smile: && it’s okay if you leave it out lol. Do you have a facebook/myspace?</p>

<p>@Robert
really? i havn’t visited any colleges except for UVA and virginia tech and they weren’t like real visits
yep twice… freakin genius well not really because columbia univ. was right near where he lived so he asked if he could research there and they let him.
did you go to states already?</p>

<p>i dont have a myspace and i deleted my facebook =p too distracting
i have msn lol good ol msn =D</p>

<p>@hapaero: I’ve been reading these posts, and I have to ask. Where does “hapaero” come from? Is it your name?</p>

<p>@chrisakelly
lol, It’s actually hpaero and no it’s not my real name. =D
hp stands for harry potter…or hewlett packard. jk, it’s for harry potter
aero is from the Greek (I think it’s greek) word meaning air. =)</p>

<p>@hpaero1 really? I’ve visted so many universities! Lol. Like from 10-15 lol.
Well no. But if you have the top project in regionals then you automatically go to ISEF no matter how you do in state. It’s called, “grand champion” and that’s what I want.</p>

<p>Ohh lol. I have facebook myspace Twitter and aim lol. Their a bit distracting but oh well lol.</p>

<p>@Robert
Ahhh!!! I need to visit some colleges then…I think I’m wayyy behind=p</p>

<p>“Grand Champion” sounds like a wrestling match mixed with a car race or something =p maybe it’s just me.
Ooo, well then good luck. What’s your project about?</p>

<p>haha, i see you’re keeping up with all the major social networks =p
i used to have aim in 6th grade.</p>

<p>lol the twitter bird is cute.</p>

<p>this is sooo off topic from the MITES stuff lol</p>

<p>@hpaero1 ■■■■■!! I know it’s off topic, but oh well :slight_smile:
well the reason I’ve visted so many because of a program at my school only for the junior class, it helps a lot! :)</p>

<p>lol it’s not a wrestling match :stuck_out_tongue: haha. well, the title is “Magnetic field effects on isomerization of cis- and trans- dichlorobis ethylenediamine cobalt (iii) chloride” it’s a chemistry project tied in with the medical field! :slight_smile: lol. </p>

<p>Ahh yes I love social networking, so much to do:) lol. It’s fun haha. And everyone at my school has one lol. I like the lil birdy too! :)</p>

<p>ughhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>

<p>@Robert
Oh…that’s cool =D
I wish my school had something like that. </p>

<p>Uhh, can you speak english please =p
lol, all the sci fair projects have really complicated titles… but it sounds pretty cool
mine was in microbiology last year.</p>

<p>everyone has a twitter?? haha everyone at my school has a fb. I got one cuz my friend wouldn’t show me our homecoming pics until i got a fb…so i signed up just for that lol</p>

<p>@GAC1107
what’s wrong?</p>

<p>@hpaero1 it’s a great program! We even get ACT/SAT prep with the princeton review. And also fee waivers for the ACT/SAT tests.</p>

<p>Lol. I’m just using a magnetic field to see if my chemical can change structure from cis- to trans- and this is good for pharmacists when they are making drugs/medicine for their patients. Haha.</p>

<p>Yes everyone in my school has a twitter lol. And were following each other! :slight_smile: haha. But you deleted yur fb right?</p>

<p>@Robert</p>

<p>that’s really cool! you are lucky =D
so your school pays for all that? are there few students?</p>

<p>haha. my school is full of super rich people who take private sat prep and stuff. i consider myself to be low income but the county doesn’t think so =p so technically i have to have low income according to county standards to get a fee waiver where i live. it’s stupid. </p>

<p>wait, seriously, everyone has a twitter? ooo…no one at my school has a twitter.
yeah i did, the pics weren’t that good anyways lol</p>

<p>@hpaero1 yeah the program pays for it, not the school lol. its like a grant. haha. & no not really… in tha school theres around 1000 but in my class theres about 400 lol.</p>

<p>ohh i live like where its extremely poor everyone is like living in poverty :confused: its sad. According to where i live, i’m above the average income, but according to the state Texas, i’m below the income lol. And since like where i live EVERYBODY is below the state average income we get free fee waivers :slight_smile: lol. </p>

<p>yeahh like EVERYBODY haha. and also myspace && facebook haha. its a popular thing here :stuck_out_tongue: lol.</p>

<p>is your school like a magnet school for a certain type of subject?</p>

<p>@Robert
ohh ok it’s still cool</p>

<p>oh that’s sad. =( haha, i live on the edge of my school border and my school is in a rich area so my bus is full of low income people but the school is 98% above the average income for the state…I’m pretty sure. A lot of kids parents are politcally involved or militarily, etc.</p>

<p>ooo lol yeah only fb is popular here</p>

<p>no it’s not, it’s just a good school I guess you could say. Although the magnet school (TJ science and technology) is close by. =p</p>

<p>I have to finish an online assignment by 12…procrastination is not a good thing, but I do it anyways. =D</p>

<p>@hpaero1 ugh i wish i went to a school like that, people at my school dont care about education or college or anything, they get pregnant and they think working at a low paying job such as mcdonalds is good enough for them to survive. i kinda hate it, because i feel misplaced.</p>

<p>98% of my school is hispanic, and i’m like 5 mins away from mexico lol. Most of their parents don’t even work! and like most of them are on food stamps etc. </p>

<p>My mom works at a magnet school, and she didn’t let me go there :confused: because they had no “band” i was like ugh! i wanted to go there so bad, their always ranked nationally as a top ranked high school. while mine isn’t. </p>

<p>ferreal? you have to turn in stuff at midnight? lol. weird. haha. we dont have that :p</p>

<p>@Robert
really? they don’t care? hmm they should care and try to do well. yeah, i’m sorry =( my school is too competitive. I always feel stupid in a lot of my classes because a lot of people are amazing geniuses and have A+ in all APs so in that sense I don’t like it, but it’s good that people are determined to go to college and stuff. </p>

<p>98%?? wow that’s a big percentage. really? 5 min haha that’s like…close lol</p>

<p>oh you’re in band? that not fair…</p>

<p>we were #50 something last year lol…my school put this huge banner outside and gave out pencils to everyone. everyone thought they went kinda overboard about a #50 something ranking.
this year we are out of the top 100 lol</p>

<p>haha, no it’s a separate online program where if you do well you get to go to the NASA langley research center for a week. our assignments are due every 2 weeks
I think they have something like it in TX too… I think it’s called aerospace scholars and they get to go to the LBJ nasa center in houston</p>

<p>have you gotten a confirmation e-mail yet?</p>

<p>I sent in my online app Feb 14th and received the confirmation email today.</p>

<p>I just received my MITES confirmation email. Notifications come out on the 16th…and so the wait begins.</p>
