<p>wow tony... you seem like an amazing person... all that and Harvard?
what were your stats?</p>
<p>Nothing really spectacular really though of course apparently everything will be compensated by me being a urm, but anyway: SAT: 2000, SAT II: 2310, GPA: 3.86 UW; 4.389 W, Rank: 3/197, working 15/20 hrs/wk, heavy EC's and all</p>
<p>omgggzz I once new a grl who got senioritis soo bad she couldn't even walk!!!!!!!!!!!!! eventually she wazn't even motivated enough to wake up!!! Needless to say i havn't scene her sinc... some people say she wus laying in bed for so long tha she sunk completely in!!</p>
<p>tony how did you get into harvard your so not smart?</p>
<p>I don't know, maybe I took advantage of AA and screwed others in the process :p</p>
<p>senior year can't be that bad. I'm starting mine in September, can't wait</p>
<p>TLL- your lowest grade was a B? i got D's my junior year! talk about SENIORITIS to the max. </p>
<p>honestly though, who cares about senior year... COLLEGE is in one more year. SOUUUPED =)</p>
<p>senior year is the end og high school, but the first year of college is..well, just the first year of college, nothing special about it.</p>
<p>It's also the first year of a new stage in your life :D</p>
<p>Nothing special about first year of college.... are you insane?! =D =P</p>
<p>agreed. first year of college is historical. its not high school anymore... thats saying a lot.</p>
<p>Plus, we get to live on our own and make our own decisions about... a lot more stuff. :D</p>
<p>Thanks evil<em>asian</em>doctorm, I can see someone's got my back :D</p>
<p>I'm glad we can get away with saying "douchebag".</p>
<p>tony im trying not to be mean but if you got in your prabably had affirmitive action to help you, it wouldnt help me because im white :(</p>
<p>its the dumbest law in the world it allows african americans and puerto ricans to get into college even if someone like a asian does better then them FOR example lets say theres a african american kid who had like a 3.2 GPA and theres a asian or white person who had a 4.3 GPA the african would definately get in, and if you dont believe me punch affirmitive action in on google and that will give you the answer. its a federal law that every state must obide by</p>
<p>Sorry that your white, ummm exactly how do you want me to respond... Do you think I chose affirmative action, no, it chose me, so of course I am going to reap all the benefits from it. At the same time, I'm not a total dumbass, I had perfects in math for both SAT and SAT II, plus I applied as a math major, so I think they would care more about my math scores. Also, I'm in the top 2% in my class, and had to balance more things my senior year than you can imagine, so please first try to understand the situation before you judge, also you scenario of GPA comparison I find rather impossible, and I don't think it's a law per se, more like a custom that colleges have to diversify their campuses. On top of it all, you seem to imply that all minorities get in b/c of AA, and that is just not true, when in reality there are many minorities who are accomplished in their own right and didn't need AA to get in, but w/e be an ass if you want, it's not like i'm going to judge you.</p>
<p>haha, sean123 reminds me of Masterus...or just a troll with too much time on his hands. Seriously, you just registered 2 days ago and already have 106+ posts, sean123!</p>
<p>For what it's worth Tony, I've been really impressed by your accomplishments. I really appreciate all of the advice you've given us, rising seniors. You obviously worked hard throughout high school and deserve to go to Harvard. There's always going to be people complaining about "affirmative action," but its not like affirmative action is completely pointless. Sure, it may make it harder for others to get in, but it doesn't make it impossible. Life isn't always fair.</p>
<p>Wait, sean123 you're marc98 or something like that right, okay then...</p>
<p>Oh and thanks zpmqxonw, I try to be helpful since I wasn't always shown the ways of college admissions and such so I tell what I know, oh and I just caught on to how your name was created, I don't know why but I'm totally fascinated :D</p>
<p>i didnt mean to offend you but i just learned about AA today and i find it to be totally wrong and useless and i dont think it should be in motion
there should be equality i respect people of all kinds but even more i respect people who get in without help and can do it like everyone else. So therefore they should stop the AA crap and make it fair game cause i dont care who i am in competition with as long as it is fair</p>
<p>I made a oath to never cheat life and i intend to follow that and even if they have the AA crap i will do my best</p>
<p>i have to type a report for my freshmen year in highschool so its on ANTHILLS OF THE SAVANNAH AND THINGS FALL APART BY ACHEBE and i have to write 3 pages of notes for each chapter it must be typed 12 font and double spaced, so i can switch off and on and give some advice that may help others since it will take me a while ^_^</p>
