<p>About the plateau…look at the Brown page:
[Brown</a> Admission: Facts & Figures](<a href=“Undergraduate Admission | Brown University”>Undergraduate Admission | Brown University)</p>
<p>2/3 of applicants with a perfect ACT score were rejected. I mean there is a difference…but the majority scored 700-740 on each section, and a 29-32 on the ACT.</p>
<p>by the way Isabella…you’re the type of applicant I’m scared to be up against haha.
good luck!</p>
<p>^ I really wish they had one of those tables for SAT scores of CR + M. I think that’s so much more meaningful.</p>
<p>And regarding that link and the plateau, that indicates the absence of a plateau, no?</p>
<p>And no worries, von_herrs. It delights me to no end that I’m within 50 points of my super genius friend’s SAT score :D</p>
<p>Yeah I’d say to an extent there’s no huge plateau. But I do think that at a certain point it’s not super relevant exactly how high your SAT is. I guess the point I was making with that link is that the majority of high scorers get rejected. Of course that’s excluding CR+M, but still…your odds go up by getting a higher score but you don’t have drastically higher chances because you have a 2350 instead of a 2250.</p>
<p>oh and i jus love how colleges say that they dont have a “set eqn or formula” of how they admit students. " we admit every kind of student". my arse! u have to be a shining star to get into schools who say that. they jus say the “Set eqn” thing so that more ppl can apply (resulting to more money). sigh this is how america works.</p>
<p>indeed it is. and i am becoming part of america despite this. sad eh. oh well. oh try this, i just got inside news that ANOTHER kid in my grade scored perfect on SAT in october, one sitting. So guys, go figure, two 2400 SAT’s in a graduating class of 150 kids. nuts</p>
<p>dam how is that possible…like i can imagine 800 on math. but reading and writing?! </p>
<p>u kno sum 5th grader (asian) got an 800 on math! thats sick. it was all over the news last year. i felt like a bimbo when i saw it on the news</p>
<p>Von, stay as far away from America as you can. It will suck all of the life out of you and destroy your pride and hope. We’re sinking, fast!</p>
<p>Von_herrs,</p>
<p>You didn’t sound nerdy, silly. You sounded hot. And cut out that television. It’s totally bad for you.</p>
<p>Psh, only because there’s a writer’s strike and therefore no Daily Show/Colbert Report to watch.</p>
<p>“And cut out that television. Its totally bad for you”</p>
<p>wouldn’t give up Heroes for anything. Hayden Panettiere is da BOMB. </p>
<p>although…do you watch the Hills isabelle? i tried to see it as a sort of a experiment on what i would watch…if that show is to be taken as a barometer of television programming…yeah then television is insufferable.</p>
<p>Von_Herrs, you are my new favorite person. Heroes, as much as it frustrates me every week for its slow pacing and constant revisitations to obnoxiously trite storylines this season, is easily among my top 5 favorite shows.</p>
<p>Our non-existent internet love affair just buckled over died, von<em>herrs. No, I don’t watch the Hills, I’ve never seen Heroes, but I think I caught a glance of that bottle blonde Hayden Panettiere prancing around on the Disney Channel once. Please visit the South sometime, von</em>herrs, you may find that real blondes are far more attractive and pleasing. In addition, your enthusiasm for fraternaties has neausiated me, although your remarks about Vassar are probably true, as I believe the majority of the student body is gay. </p>
<p>Isabella</p>
<p>Hayden had an arrest warrant put out on her in Japan because she attempted to thwart the efforts of some Japanese fisherman to kill dolphins that were swimming by their boats. </p>
<p>An environmentalist mind is, as you would say, “hot.”</p>
<p>If only that were the reason he called Hayden “da BOMB.” </p>
<p>:sigh:</p>
<p>haha. I must say, I wasn’t surprised at all that you would be shocked about one’s enthusiam for fraternities or for Panettiere. This does seem to strike me as the mainstream opinion nowadays. Rest assured, I am not your stereotypical dumb, brutish, beer-guzzling frat boy. I drink no more and no less than the average 17-year-old person. I am however, curious as to why you find fraternities “nauseating.” I am quite sure that there are a sufficient number of frat boys in Texas for you to know first-hand that most of them are friendly, warm, caring, and decent human beings. That, at least, has been my experience here in Canada. </p>
<p>I am sorry if I was so awfully deadpan that you didn’t catch my feigned enthusiam for Panettiere…but stilll…of course she isn’t Alessandra Ambrosio, but why do you seem to dislike her so? Just for the record, however, all my friends are unreservedly addicted to Panettiere, including someone who has been pretty much guaranteed a place at Stanford. (the Stanford president, Hennessey, wanted to write HIM a recommendation)</p>
<p>And Dave, I am glad you seem fairly optimistic about mass media. Optimism is always good.</p>
<p>“I am quite sure that there are a sufficient number of frat boys in Texas for you to know first-hand that most of them are friendly, warm, caring, and decent human beings.”</p>
<p>I wish this were true. Texas frat boys = super yucky jerks</p>
<p>It’s okay if you like Hayden. To be honest, I hardly know anything about her. She must be wonderful, though, especially if your friends are all addicted to her. Just out of curiosity, what led you to edit the other angel out of your post? </p>
<p>If I’m putting you on the spot, just ignore my question. : )</p>
<p>Optimism about mass media? I enjoy good television shows. That hardly indicates that I expect everything on TV to be quality. Notice that I left The Hills out of my comment. I don’t watch reality television, or anything on MTV, or whatever godforsaken channel that show is on.</p>
<p>You, on the other hand, seem optimistic about the frat boy image, whereas Isabella obviously perceives all frat boys to be obnoxious kids who show up at parties bellowing, “WHERE IS THE BEEEEEEERRRRRR!?!?!” and then proceed to pass out in their own vomit.</p>
<p>Panettiere is very attractive. No arguments.</p>
<p>“I wish this were true. Texas frat boys = super yucky jerks”</p>
<p>I guess I am errorenous then. Maybe the frat thing is slightly different in Canada. </p>
<p>Oh, and Adriana Lima is definitely awesome. It’s just that GQ ran something about her being the “most voluptuous virgin in the world,” a title that I found somewhat unsettling, for some inexplicable reason. Probably I found the whole “bomb virgins” concept fetishistic and voyageuristic. Some people have a virginity fetish. I don’t, and I frankly see it as a perversion. I like bomb chicks, period. </p>
<p>lol.</p>
