<p>some ■■■■■-ass aunt suggested to apply to Yale University. I told her to go **** herself. I hold contempt towards those rich-ass schooollss. There shouldn’t be **** to hide from the public. Even so, I didn’t want to go to a school knowing that that redneck on down syndrome (Bu$h) and that *<strong><em>ing innocent killing bonehead of Kerry went there. I prefer University of Havanna over those piece of *</em></strong> schools. At least they fight for justice and equality.</p>
<p>Well what do you think guys of my chances???</p>
<p>Are you sure you want an education right now? Your attitude almost sounds as if you think you have everything all figured out already. Are you willing to listen to the professors with an open mind?</p>
<p>I think D’s are pretty harmful. I know one girl who was an Honors Student in most areas at a Catholic school but got a D in Honors Chem as a senior and did not get accepted to UC Santa Cruz, which was her dream school. She’s at Chico State now, but did get accepted into the Honors program there. I know another girl who (last year) did get a D in French. She went top a top Calif public school and she did get into UC Santa Cruz.</p>
<p>You have a very good track record of taking a good solid courseload. Your grades are jacked for this year, though. Try to avoid the D for semester grades. Drop to non AP immediately if possible, unless you are going to commit. You should go to the UC website and calculate your UC gpa. It is different from any other gpa, and this will make a big difference. Your SAT is poor. You likely could do much better if you get a book like “10 Real SAT’s” and drill yourself for a couple weekends just to get a sense of the pacing. SATII’s are so-so to poor. The UC website will also tell you the GPA and SAT combo needed to meet minimum standards. Perhaps you meet that. But if you look at each school, the GPA’s are really, really high, and the SAT’s are pretty low, but yours is still lower than average.</p>
<p>I’d conclude you have a poor shot at UC’s. But I don’t really know. For sure apply. One thing in your post stood out: Sarah L. If you are a good writer, then go for this school. You can also ID a lot of other schools that are similar in feel, writing reputation, diversity and politics as yourself. You don’t have a chance at Yale imo, so it’s just lucky you are not interested. Good Luck.</p>
<p>Forgot to say, these things are really not very meaningful, they are for-fee companies looking to capitalize on you, and I wouldn’t put this on college app–or only if you don’t have anything else to put. Don’t send them any money, either. Then you will really be an ass, sending money to fake things and not spending money on real things (like re-taking your SAT.)</p>

<p>heh… the only thing I did pay for was the whos who cow*<strong><em>. That was when I was an ignorant 9th grader catholic piece of *</em></strong>.</p>
<p>“i sure hope your essays are not filled with the those lovely **** you have in your post.”</p>
<ul>
<li>My essays do not resemble the attitude on my posts in the public forum. I talked about my life mostly and the journey from being an ignorant catholic into a another person.</li>
</ul>
<p>I have a D in Biology AP. First D ever lol. I hate that mushroom-smoking cow****er. Planning to drop it next semester and finish Photography 2 that I dropped last year.</p>
<p>I guess I’m a pretty good writer. I got a 96% on one of my english essays recently. Well that’s because me and my teacher bond, because we’re pro-palestinian.</p>
<p>Yea this is my science history in high school:
Biology 1,2 = A-,B
Chemistry Honors - A-,B+
Physics Honors - B+,B+</p>
<p>Biology AP - D</p>
<p>well, just shows how my previous science teacher teached jack*<strong><em>. Now Finally in my senior year i get a science teacher who can’t teach jack *</em></strong> and grades hard.</p>
<p>“Are you sure you want an education right now?”</p>
<p>What? I have had an education all my life. One where I pursued the truth all my life. One filled with experiences that I’ve learned from.</p>
<p>Oh you mean an education as an institution?
Well yes, because that’s the only thing that counts in this <strong><em>en world. But I’m certain for sure that I will not buy into their </em></strong>**. I expect at least that the institution will be as liberal as it can possibly go. Don’t want turn up as Bu$h who learned nothing at all apparently.</p>
