<p>Those kids in the RSI thread are seriously freaky. I didn’t think it was possible for someone to do all those things before college… Seriously, I didn’t know a 240 psat was possible. </p>
<p>Well there you go CC, always proving me wrong, one overachiever at a time.</p>
<p>I wonder why TASP doesn’t send out letters confirming applications? Seriously, so much work went into those things it’d be a shame not to get in because of some mix-up at the post office.</p>
<p>240 PSAT? Pfffft. Been there, done that. And I’m not even an RSI-er :D</p>
<p>^argh I hate you</p>
<p>the one I got wrong wasn’t even a “hard” one</p>
<p>238…so close to being so good that its bad…</p>
<p>anyway yeah the whole RSI thing with kids who have like researched all this crazy stuff and been published in journals and whatnot…uggh</p>
<p>Hey, and I was proud of my 207.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, I was the highest in my class. Shows my competition, huh?</p>
<p>Wow! How big is your class?</p>
<p>…you guys and your 238’s. sigh.</p>
<p>My class? Almost 400.</p>
<p>Obviously, we’re all horrible at standardized tests. This one girl in my class (easily one of the smartest) got a 170. Who knows how that happened?</p>
<p>This is compared to the TWO National Merit Finalists in the senior class. LOL</p>
<p>Oh man. PSATs and SATs. Let’s just say I’m grateful that TASP never asked for those scores…:)</p>
<p>I think the little void in my life has been filled up to a certain extent. I’ve managed to not go on this site for a few days. And I haven’t really been beating myself up for the typos in my TASP essays.</p>
<p>Darn. You two put me to shame. I was super proud of my 217. =/</p>
<p>I’m still in the running for national merit though! And that’s all that counts!</p>
<p><rant>
Yeah, the RSI kids are <em>definately</em> a little scary. But remember, they’re the top in -their- field: math and science. We’re the humanities students. TASP is the RSI of humanities. I bet every one of you writes better essays than the RSI kids, so revel in your craft.</rant></p>
<p>Just because we’re more interested in politics, history, and sociology than genetic manipulation or whatnot, doesn’t make us any less worthy.
</p>
<p>They can write a mean lab report…And I hypothesize we all have some what more of a “life” than those RSIers</p>
<p>I got a 167. W00T. But I was in the 92nd percentile compared to other sophomores. Some girl in my class got a 234, a sophomore with a 234, gah.</p>
<p>some girl in my school got a 240 last year (sophomore) and a 2400 on her sats this year. “without studying”. i’m tempted to smack her.</p>
<p>Iriseyes, a small correction: RSI is the TASP of science. 
</p>
<p>Lobster, I know how you feel. Last year as a sophomore, three of my best friends got 234s. I was like…***? Hehe, some intense studying closed the gap this year though. If it weren’t for vocab, I would have gotten a 240 (i missed two questions on the entire test, and both were sentence completions). But test scores only say so much about an applicant. The rest is up to the individual.</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>225 psat / 2360 sat.</p>
<p>I was pretty ****ed off that I didn’t break 230 on the psat. Oh well.</p>
<p>You guys make me feel stupid with these 230+ scores!!</p>
<p>Well, still time to get that 2400 on the SAT. Oh, it’s happening.</p>
<p>Haha, I’m going to take mine in March, which is only a few weeks away sadly.</p>
<p>wow 2400…you people are crazy</p>
<p>I got a 2310 and I was happy as f—</p>
<p>W/e
I despise all educational standards and test of our society. They show some one can read a book and fill in circles. Quantitative vs. Qualitative. IT just doesn’t add up in society today. All those ppl complain about oh I got perfect scores but still got rejected from Princeton or W.e…</p>
<p>All you need is good character and diligence around me. No perfect scores or the ability to digest and regurgitate a textbook on command like a dog. And no I’m not saying that you guys are those types of ppl, thats why your applying to Telluride. Its the ppl who are biatchin and moanin about little things and not taking it for what its worth, that im against.</p>
<p>all of you are some of the most genuine ppl I have never met, so stay cool. :D</p>
<p>Of course since my beliefs are the exact opposite of 99% of this world, I’m set for failure.</p>
<p>haha, I love standardized tests that define intelligence … I guess I’m good at filling in circles.</p>
<p>Oh lauren I guess im just a little more outside of the box… er the sphere</p>
<p>Atleast you got the balance going for you :D</p>
<p>Yeah, I hope so… <em>spends the night sitting in front of computer and working on math homework like every single other night</em> XD</p>
