<p>Commended/Semifinalist really matter?</p>
<p>It’s an extra award and helps with some scholarships. I scored a 229 so I’m safe for the NJ NMSF cutoff.</p>
<p>Oh I see, but so many people get the award, it seems kind of meaningless. Basically reiterates that you did well on the SAT which they already see.</p>
<p>But yea I see the scholarship lure.</p>
<p>How did you find out your state’s cut-off? School?</p>
<p>
Only 16,000 people receive the award and at less selective colleges it is beneficial for both merit aid and admissions chances. I know NMF’s are guaranteed half tuition at USC and they are also guaranteed full rides at many lesser known public and private institutions.</p>
<p>B-b-b-bump.</p>
<p>Sen10rs *****es hahahahaha im so cool lol!!!</p>
<p>^ …No.
I’m going to start writing in yellow-green all the time!</p>
<p>How do all of your high schools offer so many APs?!? Ha I’m only taking 2. Psych should be a breeze but Lit should be…interesting. Next year I’m taking Chem and Lang but that’s it for my APs!</p>
<p>Man, I am so freaking screwed for USH. I remember the basis of Hamilton’s Financial Plan, but I think that’s it. >.< And that my teacher wants to move to Russia.</p>
<p>Attention all IBers of 2011!
The exam schedule for our real exams is now out. Just thought I’d let those of you who didn’t know yet know.</p>
<p>My exams are quite clumped together at the beginning, then spread out near the end with breaks of several days in between. The thing is, I have quite a few days with multiple exams. I’m not sure if I’d rather have my schedule or my friend’s, which is exams almost every day, but with fewer exams each day. Plus, his end on May 19 while mine end on the 23rd. Hmm.</p>
<p>where are they out?</p>

<p>Just rejected from Tasp yesterday.
dejected.</p>
<p>I’ve just learned today (shockingly!) that a certain person who holds numerous club presidencies hardly goes to the meetings at all. My impression of her plummeted. No wonder why she got straight rejections from every single Ivy that she applied (well, she was waitlisted at one). I think the admission officers are experienced enough to tell.</p>
<p>^^ I know we all really wanted to get into TASP. When I got rejected before the interview round, it crushed me. I think happysunnyshine will attest to that as well. But a couple of months have passed now, and I realize that there are other things out there. Yes, we’ll never get the opportunity to have something as great as TASP, but that doesn’t mean we have to brood over it forever. There’s nothing any of us can do about it now, and you just have to get out there and give yourself the opportunity to grow.</p>
<p>that really sucks that you have a year left.</p>
<p>^ Ha. TBH, I don’t really want to leave high school. I’ve been at this school for 7 years and I’m just too attached now. I’m going to cry like a waterlogged stuffed bunny.</p>
<p>I have IB Systems on May 17/18. Not much, but next year I have 5 exams! <em>ouch</em></p>
<p>^ HAHA, try GCSE with 11 subjects.</p>
