^Middle 50% test score ranges for accepted applicants</p>
<p>Haha bookwormgirl, I actually am kind of a girly-girl and I do love shopping. And prom. I’m so excited about prom! But yeah, basketball is awesome too. It’s a nice…juxtaposition, if you will. </p>
<p>And let’s not worry about our SAT scores. We all wish they were higher than they are (unless you have a 2350+) and there’s nothing we can do about them anymore.</p>
<p>^Gosh, you’re really excited for prom, aren’t you? You mention it in just about every post :)</p>
<p>Hahaha I’m sorry. It’s next weekend (we have ours realllllly early) and it’s all anybody is talking about. Besides, it’s much more productive to worry about my nail polish than about my Princeton decision, because at least with the nail polish it is a) up to me b) easy to change c) stressfree and d) always ends well.</p>
<p>j07 if you don’t stop worrying about nail polish and start worrying about pton, you won’t reach 2000 posts by THE DAY!!! </p>
<p>I think if you average about 70 posts a day you can make it… gogogogogogo!!!</p>
<p>My prom is May 25, the Friday before graduation. I know I won’t have a date, and chances are I’ll just recycle my dress from last year… it’ll be fun, I guess, but I don’t care about it all, to be honest.</p>
<p>The actual prom part is probably the most pointless because everybody just goes to the dance for about 45 minutes. I think the fun part is the gigantic 50-person hourlong picture fest, the ridiculously lavish dinner, the Hummer limo, and then the after party.
Haha I’m sorry I keep talking about it, but it’s going to be so much fun. We rented a house out in the country with 3 pools and 4 hot tubs and we’re taking about 75 people out there and it’s going to be…amazingggg.</p>
<p>I saw in the Princeton news that Princeton is incresing its class size for this class (I believe around 250 more applicants) to get back to the original mission that Princeton had. (Princeton will gradually increase it each year) It seems from the article that Princeton is saying that in accepting recruited athletes and bringing diversity by accepting a large number of minorities, amd those from disadvantaged backgrounds, that this has affected their ability to also take some of he most academic and intellectual candidates and also those with exceptional artistic talent.
I believe that this is why on cc posters see those accepted who had unbelievably high SAT scores. They are balancing out the applicants that were accepted with much lower scores. I believe that Princeton is looking for academic superstars as well as those top students who have high scores, although not as high as the academic superstars but who have shown great passion and achievement in the arts which is very important to Princeton and their new initiative.</p>
<p>Either way, we’re all getting in, so let’s embrace our non-2400s!!!</p>
<p>I was just looking back through my stuff, and I figured out that I might have done the Biology-M test, but marked it down to Biology-E, dropping my score to a 650 (my lowest SAT II). So basically, I got 20 questions wrong just because I misgridded an oval. I hate SATs!</p>
<p>That does sound like fun! 
No one really ever rents limos at my school, and the afterparty will probably just be at someone’s house… in other words, not so different from any other party. I think I’ll inevitably get more excited about it as the date gets closer, though.</p>
<p>edit: this was to j07’s prom post…</p>
<p>i think our prom is on a ship on lac leman or something and the after-party will probably be at some club. but j07’s hummer limo/country house thing sounds so damn awesome! </p>
<p>dude, the kids at my school are so ****ing rich! i feel outta place most of the time coz they don’t rent cars, they buy them. this one kid who graduated last year bought himself and orange lamborhini murcielago! rich, spoiled kids haha</p>
<p>and jon, that sucks something aweful! i remember i thought i had put down the wrong code for my french sat II but luckily i hadn’t. <em>phew</em></p>
<p>Hahaha an orange lamborghini? REALLY? That’s ridiculous.
I wish our prom weren’t so early in the year, but it’s the faculty’s position that “as we get closer to graduation, seniors are willing to be more and more crazy.” And I guess this is mainly stemming from my Homecoming freshman year, when 95% of the people there were drunk.
Hahahaha. What a night.</p>
<p>freshman translates into 9th grade, right?</p>
<p>the kids at our school come to class on monday still hungover. the hilarious thing is that yesterday there was the annual fashion show and usually the proceeds to go charity, but this year the organisers didn’t feel too generous and decided to pay for an after party at the VIP lounge in this club called Platinum. some students found out about this and were outraged that their money was going to pay for vodka for (mostly) underage people, and the remainder would be pocketed by the 2 organisers, so they went to the director of the school with it. next thing you know they tell the school spy guy (he basically makes sure the kids don’t leave campus when they’re not allowed to, and don’t smoke, drink etc) to go stand outside the club with the bouncer and make sure that no one from my school (who was underage and/or a boarder) could get in!
normally you’d just go to another club but money was lost anyways because the VIP lounge had been reserved.</p>
<p>That’s awful! I mean, I guess it’s good and bad. </p>
<p>That kind of reminds me of a senior class prank that the seniors of '05 at my school did 2 years ago. I think they stole it from somebody else, but it was really funny.
They printed up fliers for this HUGE keg party that was supposed to have like 6 different kegs and made it sound like it was going to be the biggest party of the year, and they “accidentally” emailed it to a teacher, who, of course, went to the principal and blahblahblah. So on the night of the party, a squad of policemen (like…20 of them) arrive at this random spot in the woods with SWAT-style reinforcements, and it turns out that nobody’s drunk, the kegs are filled with pure apple juice, and everybody is playing card games.</p>
<p>It was sooooo funny. After that, of course, everybody went to an actual party, but that’s beside the point.</p>
<p>speaking of kegs, what exactly is a keg stand? you just stand on the keg?</p>
<p>bwahahah! the principal and the teacher must have felt ridiculous! last years seniors didn’t have it so great because about 12 of them were expelled after testing positive for marijuana use. 
but whatever, some of them paid up and got to finish their exams and graduate. but now this new dude owns our school and he’s not so corrupt so the people expelled this year aren’t coming back.</p>
<p>the funny thing about it is that marijuana isn’t technically illegal here…</p>
<p>A keg stand is when people hold you upside down by the feet and you drink straight out of the little nozzle thing on the keg, allegedly because it allows you to drink more/faster that way.</p>
<p>wow… next year’s readers of the decisions thread will be entertained.</p>
<p>Haha I know. We’re fun people.</p>
<p>Only like 1% of this thread is actually decisions. Why are we so attached to this thread? We should have a thread titled “Random comments, etc. that really don’t belong in any other thread”.</p>
