Parting of the ways

Dear Collegeboard,

I think you're on crack. I'm not complaining... but I seriously think you're a tad bit loopy. It's been fun. Adios.

Glad to be through with you,

AP results? Did you do well?

monsoon_nights July 9 2007, 23:33:17 UTC

:)

though I don't have a clean sweep anymore. But who cares; I didn't fail calculus!!!!!

A clean sweep? Wha?

clean sweep = getting the same score on all of your exams. Highly useful for applying to college, though it usually happens by accident (so don't you DARE study overly hard to try to achieve it, because it won't happen... you have to be very lucky or have fantastic last-minute stress-free cramming abilities.) I had one until I got my english/economics scores this year, but as I'm in college already, and I wouldnt' get credit for those tests even if I got a 5, I don't care.

Did you cave and call in and get your results or by mail? Aughhhh I am going crazy with waiting.

monsoon_nights July 10 2007, 02:09:27 UTC

Mail. I think they send from West Coast to East.

How has it been fun?

Trust me to miss that by a mile. .___.

Thanks, Mira. :)

You know, even though I think I'm pretty talented at Spanish, I haven't gotten ANY credit for it at Penn. I would not be happy if I have to take ~four semesters of Spanish all over again...

Uhh, anyway, yes, it's on crack!

monsoon_nights July 11 2007, 01:28:31 UTC

Haha, I don't have to take a foreign language. And even if I did, I wouldn't have to rely on AP scores, just on placement tests, which is great, since I didn't bother taking the AP Spanish exam. (Psst... this is why Columbia is cool... or one reason, anyway)

But I get credit for calculus!!!!! Would you go for calculus 2 or 3, oh manly integral fellow?

theworstljever_ July 11 2007, 02:37:29 UTC

Yeah, I can take placement tests too, but I really don't want to... if I do poorly, I'm permanently screwed. So I'm nervous.

Yes, credit for calculus!
I go for calculus 3, of course... or even diffy Qs. =D

Ok, if you don't take them, you have to start with spanish 101, right? But if you do take them, there's always the chance that you'll place out of something. A friend of mine didn't take the AP, because he didn't feel that he had a good enough background to endure the 3 hours (same reason I didn't take it- though the day after I declined, I found out that I'd placed in the national spanish exam thingy... by accident of course... oops), but he managed to place out of 2 or 3 semesters at Columbia. It can't hurt.

Or you could always start a new language. Hindi? Chinese? Russian? Tibetian?
