Yeah, Ivy League is for super great 1 percenters or super influential kids, like sons of royalty or Senators. Though, in these days of 'equal opportunity' you might be able to get in on being black if you are AP and have a fairly high GPA and nicely high SAT score.I was half way from average to great, and Dartmouth wanted me... not sure why. I didn't try applying but they were grasping for me repeatedly. My parents didn't have the want or cash to send me there
( ... )
I'm attempting to keep my GPA as high as it can possibly go during high school, and I think my cumulative is 4.02 somethin' with the one AP class I took this year. SAT, though...I will have to wait and see.
You seem ANGREH. But when I get a job, I will try my best. :o
I am so angry. It doesn't work for me I suppose. Beh. I is so mixed up anyway.
Hey, try as hard as you can to get into good places. If school is your path to the future, get the best you can. Ivy Leagues tend to be a great starting point for people going up and above the normal rung of business and cubicle people.
Yeah, but I often think I couldn't fit into the 'ivy league upper class white people social structure'...thing. :0 Like...that's a place where waffles wouldn't belong.
If I get all A's next quarter, I would have a...4.375. Though I don't know how likely it will be next year that I will be able to get straight A's again, but I'll try. I don't know what my cumulative would be, but I think around 4.06...something. That's what this one of my friends had who had two AP classes this year. I THINK.
I'M GETTING A NEW AIM NAME. I must think of something...
Ivy League is only good for crakas like Karthik Soora. The Ivy League environment wouldn't impress me.
Taking your idea, I emailed Market Street Cinema about being a concession worker. I don't necessarily want to serve popcorn, but there aren't many people there anyway. If I do get the job, Jacob Kauffman will be my assistant manager - that's the part that I'm uneasy about. They need some art kids to take on the task of painting stuff too, so maybe I'll pitch in with that.
Those stupid counselors think they know what's good for us. When I say I can handle two AP History classes, I mean it, dammit. They just need to get their heads out of their asses and do what we tell them, because whether they believe it or not, they don't care about Parkview children.
I feel old now. I remember when I didn't have to worry about getting a JOB.
I don't think I wouldn't be able to get into an Ivy League college if I really wanted to (got into a lot of crap at school (particulary student council), outside of school, and strived for 4.0 or higher), but I don't think the majority of them are for me. Most of them do seem to be mainly for people who are focused on government/judiciary jobs, journalism, and mixing into the society that is mostly composed of rich white people. I could not dance in that arena. The way I act and my personality...Just isn't there. XD So I'm not even going to try and waste my time too much wishing, "I WISH I COULD GO TO AN IVY LEAGUE COLLEGE ;O;!!"
Market Street Cinema! You should go there and pick up an application if they don't e-mail you back. Kauffman...Meeples. That would be interesting...
I was considering to work at Barnes and Noble too... Maybe not this summer but I am curious, where do you get the application? Someday, I would need it. Good luck with these things...
Don't say duh, because I didn't know until I asked the woman behind the cash registrar!
We could talk more over AIM! I never IM you whenever I am on...I don't know any sign language, which makes me sad. I used to do a little sign language in a church choir when I was in elementary school, but I've forgotten many thing...
