2

<p>you wont get in anywhere. you got 2 b's. you might as well go to community college</p>

3

<p>hahahaah u forgot an important EC:
rezpecable SDC membah 8)</p>

4

<p>ahahahahah datz rite</p>

5

<p>you are probably going to be just an average applicant for HYPMS, for the "lower" ivies and other top schools though, you have a great shot</p>

<p>shoenberg3:</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCSD: Safety</p>

7

<p>I disagree with BingCold, you'll be an above average applicant, but no guarantees. I hear about 50% of perfect scorers get in.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, colleges like to see the 2400's. Good luck!</p>

9

<p>thanks people!</p>

10

<p>Did you make this thread to boost your ego??</p>

11

<p>no i wanted real opinions and they gave me some</p>

12

<p>shoenberg3, I just wanted to elaborate because I hardly said anything haha. Two of my friends scored 2390 and 2400, but were rejected SCEA from Stanford. On the other hand, two of my other friends had 2280 and 2320, and were accepted SCEA to Stanford. The ones who were accepted really put their all into their essays, while the others just blew the application off, and crammed it in at the very last minute. Just make sure you have killer essays and pump your EC's. I'm sure you'll get in to some top colleges :)!</p>

<p>edit: by the way, did you create your username after the composer?</p>

13

<p>haha indeed, albeit a misspelling</p>

<p>but atonal music was cool for awhile but i am bit sick of it now ;)</p>

14

<p>actually, I think shoenberg is actually a very strong applicant for HYPS. If you are as strong in piano as you make it sound, I think you won't actually have that much trouble at the Ivies. However, schools with acceptance rates below 25% are generally too low for even the perfect applicant to count on. But definitely shoot for the best and you may even have a right to get your hopes up.</p>

15

<p>B, not one but 2 B'S!! B NOOOO NOO GOOD, ever listen to your mom? all a's only a's, a for awesome b for bad, c for crappy d for dad, f for effed over</p>

<p>good luck, you can go to de anza college and work full time mcd's, cause those b's wont' even make you an MC</p>

16

<p>what the heck...
is the two bs that critical?? yo mean only for ives,and top school or including uc..? cause i have a c... and i m sph and planning to go to uci ,ucsb, or ucd...</p>

17

<p>im kidding, i know tommy sung, so im just messing with his mind</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> too late for that now though</p>

18

<p>haha who are you may i ask</p>

19

<p>you're such a stereotypical asian... piano??</p>

20

<p>well, that's just me
i sincerely like the instrument and i can say my parents never forced me into it</p>

<p>and i am just not willing to quit it for the sake of breaking the streotype</p>
