<p>Here’s something that should keep you laughing in the meantime. </p>

<p>Do or Die: The College Admissions Process
A nice movie from Google Video about the college admissions process. It’s pretty hilarious short film. “The story is about a race to Harvard between two Scarsdale High School Seniors. The movie was written, filmed, edited, and printed in about 3 months as a senior options project.”</p>

<p>Alive!!!</p>

746

<p>Boo I was interrupted.</p>

747

<p>^^ That is awesome.</p>

748

<p>Oh, poor ■■■■■■■■</p>

749

<p>I actually checked out hara’s link. Too boring.</p>

750

<p>So do any of you guys play any sports?</p>

<p>I play Field hockey (JV)</p>

751

<p>yeah, im a swimmer, V next yeurr!</p>

752

<p>Sports? Uh due to be utter lack of regular athletic ability I don’t play any “official” school sports.</p>

<p>Although. Wait, I am involved in Ultimate Frisbee does that count? I mean it is “technically” a sport right?</p>

753

<p>I haven’t played on a sports team for almost half a year now. I like it better this way.</p>

754

<p>I’m really not an athetlic person, and field hockey is the only sport I’ve kept up with for more than a couple years (Started in 7th grade)</p>

<p>I’m by no means good, but I really like the whole team aspect</p>

<p>And damn, preseason is hardddd
(A great way to end your summer… NOT!)</p>

755

<p>haha the movie was long but funny :)</p>

756

<p>I’m not an athletic person at all but managed to stay 2 year on JV Swim. I’m quitting the coming year because of lack of time.</p>

757

<p>No sports for me, I lack the athletic gene. :] I do enjoy running on my own time, though (when I’m not too lazy).</p>

<p>One of my goals for junior year…15 minutes of CC a day. Absolutely no more. Because this year, CC consumed my waking hours. >:[</p>

758

<p>I am going to take:</p>

<p>English 3 Honors
Spanish 5 AP
French 5 AP
Chemistry Honors
Track and Field
(AP Statistics)
(AP United States History)
(United States History [0 period])</p>

<p>There are two choices:</p>

<p>A - I only take AP US and not have a math… but get a 5.0</p>

<p>B - Take 0 Period College Prep US (really easy) AND AP Stat… but my GPA adds up to 4.8 - annoyingly, even though it’s an extra class. The 4.A ruins it…I would have a history AND a math… </p>

<p>What will look better???</p>

<p>It’s essentially a GPA boost (and an extra AP to show to universities) vs having a math</p>

759

<p>I am very athletic… a sport a season… but mostly for the EC aspect… also I work better when I have less time to do my homework, cuz then I procrastinate less (but only a lil less). </p>

<p>Junior year… my goal is to not die, sounds reasonable?</p>

<p>at ppmirmov… depends on what you’re going into after high school? I mean what do you plan on majoring in? a 4.8 GPA is still very good… really if you have 4.0 unweighted then you’re doing really good. I would take the math class if you’re going into anything tecnical or w/ science. But if you’re going into, idk, an art school, I’d say don’t take it. Otherwise 4 years of math will look good.</p>
