real world like that show?
Cancun sounds nice =) and it looks pretty on TV hehe</p>

<p>No, we only get to take AP Spanish after year four. So I’m planning on taking it next year… I’ll probably die in it because (except for spanish 1) all my teachers have been pretty bad and I havn’t learned a lot.
French is pretty. =D magi summed it up. It’s basically spanish melodramas/soap operas. </p>

<p>Lol i guess I know the feeling. A few of my friends are in band and it takes up all of their time. Two are in jazz band and ther others in marching so they’re like super busy with it all the time. </p>

<p>Oh, your parents never taught you? Well, you could learn it by watching movies lol
That’s how I learned another language in additon to my first language hehe. Or try Rosetta stone lol</p>

<p>Stilll waiting…</p>

<p>@magi
I’m not hispanic, but… I think I can understand most of a conversation if you guys talked slowly =p</p>

<p>Oh, this guy fell into a hole in the cemetary today. It was kinda funny… hehe</p>

502

<p>hey guys, i applied for this too. how good do you think the odds are of acceptance??</p>

503

<p>oh crap… im going to be posting here now instead of doing hw. great.</p>

504

<p>@hpaero: oh wow and your taking AP Spanish, sorry for the assumption :/</p>

505

<p>@xephyr
hello! for me i think i have a umm .05% of getting in =D I think lower. I’m south asian. =)
All I know is that the acceptance rate is lower than that of MIT.</p>

<p>@magi
No, I’m taking it next year. I’m in spanish 4 this year. haha it’s okay =D i know if i go to a spanish speaking country, I won’t be that lost… or clueless even though a lot of people speak english anyways.</p>

506

<p>im black(not really according to my friends) and like top 1% of my class good psat score (crappy SAT :'[) and i have a bunch of ECs… sort of.</p>

<p>whaddaya think?</p>

507

<p>@xephyr
Well, it is a program for minorities so you have a better chance than me. Plus, you’re in top 1%. good sat score, good ecs. I guess now it depends on your essays and recs.
usually, I heard there are about 700-1000 applicants and about 70 get accepted.</p>

508

<p>i would be so sad if i didnt get accepted… guh.</p>

<p>we get to stay in simmons. thats so freaking awesome lol</p>

509

<p>yeah, it would be awesome to get in, but my chances don’t look too good right now. =&lt;/p>

<p>simmons is probably the coolest college dorm…ever. but it looks kinda…weird, still cool though. =D</p>

510

<p>@xephyr417: omg I know simmons hall looks amazing, it’s like a childhood dream lol</p>

511

<p>i saw a couple pics online and it looks like brand new and the dorm room is like silver or something.</p>

<p>your chances dont look good? pourquoi pas?</p>

512

<p>it’s a sponge! lol</p>

<p>I still didn’t get a confirmation letter… uh oh. I might be missing something…</p>

<p>no hablo francias… if that’s french lol</p>

<p>because I’m asian =p. Actually, my grades were kinda bad 2nd quarter since I had personal issues going on so that kinda lowered my overall semester grades. Umm and I guess that’s it lol</p>

513

<p>tell me about it… its like… freaking paradise. </p>

<p>what do you guys wanna major in?</p>

514

<p>lolya its french but my french is terrible still lol</p>

515

<p>@xephyr

516

<p>oh shyt… are we supposed to get those??</p>

518
