<p>I have a C in pre-cal, had a lot of trouble, need some help.</p>
<p>WILL I MAKE INTO HARVARD?</p>
<p>~pce. </p>
<p>Someone made me do it.</p>
<p>I dont think Harvard will accept failures such as yourself. I mean, my cleaning lady made Cs and look where she's now. Yeah, she's cleaning my house bub. There's a famous saying -- don't put your head in the clouds. And I dont know if english is your thing, but that basically means that dreaming unrealistic dreams won't get you anywhere. I mean, everyone dreams, but ya know, some people are actually where they are now, a couple notches above cleaning lady, because they had realistic goals. There is no need to think about Harvard now . . . or you'll just end up slitting your wrists if you eventually make it, cuz if you can't even do high school pre-calculus, then you probably couldn't even follow Harvard's cirruculum. And I'm just saying the truth, yo.</p>
<p>HAHAAH JUST KIDDING, but u have guts to post this</p>
<p>no really, harvards not all that great ya know</p>
<p>I'd have to see the rest of your grades/starndardized test scores/ecs, but this is a definite strike against you</p>
<p>I do have excellent ECs and a 4.38. </p>
<p>I head 5 clubs and play 3 sports, will that make me go a little higher?</p>
<p>OHH "definite strike"
REJECTED buddy</p>
<p>actually a lot of people are captains of sports and academic clubs and have 2400s and harvard still manages to brag how many of those excellent kids they reject ;(
its a mean world kid.</p>
<p>I did help found a national organization. Does that help any?
I also got a 2240 on my pratice SATs, have taken the real test yet. </p>
<p>P.s- Due to organziational reasons, I can not disclose the name of the origanization.</p>
<p>And people, I am actually serious about all the things I said.</p>
<p>Post this on the "Chances" board.</p>
<p>hey, its high time to think...and plz dont ask what???</p>
<p>b'coz I scored a B in this subject and my ass was kicked so hard that till today i feel its pain</p>
<p>may be your organization would help you....but i think u should concentrate on improving the subject rather than thinking of getting into Harvard.</p>
<p>man at my school there are two advanced precalc teachers........for one teacher.. the question to ask after a test is whether or not someone passed......for the other the question is whether they got in the 90s......i luckily have the latter</p>
<p>So i see....lol</p>
<p>Hmm, I was on medication during the semster and the side effects really killed on the tests and sutff. and I didnt realized that until like 2 days ago. So should I tell my math teacher that?</p>
<p>totally depends upon u dear...u must add more</p>
<p>Like I wrote him a letter and everything, prolly going to send it to him tommorrow or the day after.
I just talked about the fact I was on meds, the fact that i tried the best i could, the fact that a C would kill me from applying to a summer camp and prevent me from playing football, and how i deserve a second chance.
btw, the side effects of the meds includes, dizzyness, fatigue, lack of focus, drowiness....and i take it right before math, first thing in the morning....</p>
<p>. . .what would he be able to change tho? put a note near ur grade....because he cant really change ur grade</p>
<p>i dont understand why ppl ***** after they get ad grades. suck it up.</p>
<p>If you were really motivated, you wouldn't get a C, even if you were on meds</p>
<p>Deal with it.</p>
<p>Guys, you have to understand my situation.
I did fine the first quater, had a B.
But in the second quater, 3 close members of my family died in a row. And the dosage for the meds increased like hell, I perfer not to tell the name of these meds of privacy reasons, but there are not you everyday cough drop. If I miss a few days, I can end up in the ER. I dont wake up everymorning and choose to impair my own learning abilites, its that or I end in the hospital for a week.
And I did horrible the first week of the second quater, I failed 1 quiz and 1 test. Thus my quater grade remains a D despite the fact I really worked my heart out the rest of the way to improve that, but there are just not enough grades left to do that.
I also did fine on the midterm. Its just that quater grade that is dragging me down.
And yes, I am movtivated. I just think I derserve a fair chance to show what i am capable of. I dont want to suck up and live with it, i want an equal chance. I just want him to let me retake that test. </p>
<p>P.S- I have a math tutor a too. </p>
<p>P.S- i was in similar situaition last yr, with my ap history teacher, and she changed my grade and offer my an opporunity to do a extra work in return for a much better grade. From a low B to an A.</p>
