  1. that may be true, but...well its true.
  2. obviously that aint what the kid is lookin for.
  3. mod x and i have a pretty fun conversation going in the nature thread. its a lil disjointed but its cool.
  4. i personally like crossfire. especially the nature of the creator thread, but not many people show up in it.
  5. yeah, a lot of schools have been adopting other evaluative options. such as princeton review's own financial aid supplement that i have to fill out every year. instead of being based on soley assets, as the outdated FAFSA structure is, it is based on assets and costs that arent possible to account for within FAFSA. Plus it is always possible to send a supplemental letter along with your financial aid application that lays out your own personal costs. Anything that shows how much money your school should give you to keep you there is clutch.
  6. got a joint on ya? be a lot cooler if you did.
  7. that was fun. last night i was drunk, and a friend that studies psychology and cognitive science had me doing tests online to see where my racial disposition lies. there are some crazy set ups that test reaction time on associative pathways that compare racial identification with violence. i'll try and find the link for the lists of tests for people to play with if they want.
  8. i hope you make the hand motion too smart.
  9. fuck a fifteen. last year there was 27. a few less this year i think.
  10. all i had left to say was: talk to your parents getting them involved will help alleviate pressure and bring new resources to help you. pull strings when you can when i was applying to schools, if a teacher of mine was from a school i was applying to, I would have them write my specific letter of rec for that school. i also had a family friend that worked at my school's administration for a time, and wrote my letter of rec for the school i'm at now. stay calm just be patient and be logical with your choices and things will be ok. worrying about how things will get done or just the overall outcome of things doesn't help the process, just makes your life suck. MAKE SURE YOUR FAFSA IS DONE CORRECTLY AND ON TIME no one in this thread really talked about financial aid, but get acquainted with that quickly. do a little research into the process. what is necessary from your parents as far as tax information is concerned, or if your applying for aid on your own. this will be one of the most helpful things to understand and know when you are in college, it will keep you there and keep your after graduation costs low, eg managing school loans. DO YOUR RESEARCH i can't stress this enough. read some books, read online, and just talk to people about it. youll learn a lot if you just ask people things. edit cus i remembered to add somethin...
  11. damnit, i had so much more written. fuck this five minute edit shit. lemme type out the rest.
  12. like everyone else im gonna go ahead and talk about getting into college. i feel like college is just like any other position you would be applying for, you have to sell yourself. read a book or two on writing college entrance essays, it helps. one of my favorite essays i have ever written was an entrance essay to northwestern. i didnt get in, but thats cus i liked having a full spectrum of grades in highschool. pay attention to how the general feel of college entrances are going. read a lot of us news reviews on schools and do research into what schools you feel are possible for you. once you have an idea of where you would like to go, you can then figure out exactly what you need to do to make yourself available and presentable to those schools. if a school is focused on engeneering, talk a lot about any science experiences youve had. if your required to submit a previous work from a class, present one which is relevant to the reason your applying to said school. a little patience and calm rationale will get you into a college in this country. there are so many. dont ever think you don't have options as far as continued education. as far as grades are concerned, they matter. to an extent. you can compensate for not having great grades, but you better be good at it. i had horrible grades in highschool, tests saved my ass. along with teachers willing to let me do work on my own timetables, but i did a lot of other shit to compare. i was on the school's academic decathlon team (nerdlifeferreal), competing against other C students. there is no comparison, however, to being able to say to a college that you are a smart kid and that they can tell through looking at your grades. i wasn't able to do that, so i tried to make it work other ways.
  13. i like how no one has discussed the harlequin fetus up there...that shits real. and creepy.
