Race to 9001

<p>I will be the one saying I came, I saw, I conquered…</p>

<p>Thursday, this thread is full of bumps, I know. The only ones I will delete are those that are inappropriate, full of nonsense words, or say “bump.”</p>

<p>I think that is fair. You only really say bump if this thread is buried like 2 pages.</p>

<p>yeah good to know.</p>

<p>I think we’re having a snow day tomorrow in S Michigan!! It’s the third one this year! HOW COOL? I’m about to die of happiness :D</p>

<p>I’m hoping two hours delay tomorrow in northern Indiana.</p>

<p>Southern Virginia had a two hour delay yesterday and I’m hoping for another one tomorrow if all this rain we’ve had freezes over.</p>

<p>In some ways I’m jealous that you guys get snow days… but in some ways not.</p>

<p>Well I’m happy to say that we’ve posted 76 posts in the past two days… if we continue at this rate we’ll be done in a month and a half.</p>

<p>Keep it up and no snow delay today. It’s actually raining lightly here. </p>

<p>“Something,” I assume. It’s funny; one of my friends who knows all the abbreviations asked me about this same one too xD. I dunno why people don’t use it a lot.</p>

<p>Btw I did have my snow day. Suck on it guys! I didn’t even bother do my AP Bio homework yesterday! lol</p>

<p>hhahahahaha… not acquainted with fb I see… Descuff? :stuck_out_tongue:
Here’s ma lil sth for you: :)</p>

<p>I have been dreading the time when I would have to post this cuz I’m so afraid that I’m a hopeless case…</p>

<p>I first came here (not that long ago :P) to get help on improving my SAT, which I did eventually…
1st SAT sophomore year:
600CR, 660W (9E), 640M= 1900</p>

<p>2nd SAT (Junior year): nov12
590CR, 700W(10E), 660M= 1950</p>

<p>3rd SAT (Junior Year): Jan13
620CR, 740W(9E), 800M= 2160</p>

<p>Now the thing is, I know 2160 isn’t your “decent score” over here… not by far… but listen up…</p>

<p>I am still a junior…
My dream is, of course, top uni’s, (lately I’ve been very interested in premed ar MIT) but I have confidence of 0… cuz My country doesn’t have any "top notch"national contests or what’s not… I have done everything I could for EC’s… from president of student council for 2 years now (and founder… school had none… i know -_-) , organizing many events in my school, like environmental days, costume show… bla, bla, bla… as in, Head of the events’s club. Also, fundraising club, debates’ cub…
I have also been involved in a fundraising campaign that we a bunch of teenagers carried out on our own to help orphans in Gambia… this is the second year so far for the campaign which was very successful last year. We raised enough money last year to build a class for the orphans there…
I had a summer job for two years (well it started as volunteering in the 1st year, then they decided to pay me XD) in which I used to teach children an English course…</p>

<p>But THAT’S IT! I am fond of doing something that doesn’t involve school, and that makes me feel useful somehow… But I can barely find anything!</p>

<p>I feel so underachieved you know… plus…</p>

<p>My school doesn’t offer AP’s or any rigorous courses. I am the first in my school, with always a really high GPA of 98-99%… btw, we take all the subjects every year… (all the sciences, History, economics, English, French as second language(I am taking the delf this May, Arabic, computer (but it’s super easy so…)) … I am planning to self study as many AP subjects as I can next year… I feel like I’m at a GREAT disadvantage! It’s just so unfair cuz i AM trying my best… and taking every chance I get!</p>

<p>I still haven’t taken any subject tests… I was planning on taking 2 subject tests this year… what do y’all think?! Then maybe next year take the SAT next year to improve more? I dunno… WHAT CAN I DO? I am still a junior. I’ll do whatever it takes… Just tell me what to do to have a better shot at top uni’s like everyone else…
I once read n one of the Ivy league’s website that they look at ec’s in the context of the person’s background and environment or sth…
What do you think?!</p>

<p>sorry for the blabber XD
Would reaaaally appreciate your opinion XD</p>

<p>Wall of text, I’ll read at home and no, no one on my fb uses “sth” </p>

<p>Oh c’mon do we really want to talk about the depressing SAT and whatever? -_________-</p>

<p>How depressing it is that highschoolers will inevitably stress out about college admissions and waste much of their 4 years just thinking about where they will get into college…</p>

<p>then get into college and screw around even though what you do at college matters more than where you get in…</p>

<p>I say “waste” because most of the colleges they think about have single digit admissions…</p>
