<p>"^ Get out of the average topic!" </p>

<p>=( </p>

<p>Com'on.... I have an 1820 SAT. That's well above average nation wide, but we have to be realistic here in that for CC, that's pretty average. If not below average. </p>

<p>As an accepted member of this alliance, I propose we set standards for admission before this gets out of hand. For instance, if you have below a certain SAT/ACT score, GPA, class strength, or EC's, you are admitted as long as you meet one or two of those qualifications. Are there any seconds?</p>

42

<p>Nope, i agree
Less than 3.5
Less than 2000
No honors classes
no AP classes
no national awards for EC's
:D</p>

<p>Hurray! I'm still in! haha</p>

<p>Palos Verdes? You rich ...</p>

45

<p>Smartteenangel, I'm diagnosed with ADHD! I work my butt off and only maintain a B average. It's pretty sad. Haha. So, you might want to get it checked out by a doctor. Once I was prescribed medication, it helped more than you know!</p>

<p>LEADERSHIP:
*** Started the Fashion Team***
- We design outfits and make them, and compete against other groups on the team to see who can come up with the best wardrobe. It's serious fail because no one ever comes. One time I was the only person who came to practice, so I had to make fringes alone.
- I have recruited 26 girls. Only about 6 actually come to practice, and that many is rare.
- Meet M, Thu</p>

<p>pyroza:
Actually, that is a HUGE stereotype, I'm not even remotely close to being rich haha</p>

49

<p>I guess I should thank you reya and scott, but it sucks to be denied admission. I guess now I'll have to go to my safety alliance.
I know deep down inside that my ACT scores are average-ish at least.</p>

50

<p>Shampoo: You're in. Only beacause I LOVE your username...
:D</p>

51

<p>scott, I'd consider any place with a median household income of over $100,000 to be a pretty wealthy area. Redondo is only close to that because of all the wealthy folks down in South Redondo.</p>

52

<p>It is a wealthy area, but I (or my family i mean) is not incredibly wealthy. In fact..we lived in Redondo and Torrance for a majority of my life before PV. I love it, but theres nothing to do... :/</p>

53

<p>Are you in Rancho PV? There really isn't much to do up there, you sorta have to come down to the cities to find stuff to do</p>

54

<p>Yeah i'm in RPV</p>
