<p>Thesauruses are generally used for when you know exactly what word you’re trying to say, but you just can’t think of it. They may also be used to find a synonym for a rather commonplace word that you wish to replace, such as “good.” In the latter case, it may be beneficial to learn the word (in its proper use and context) and use it later on. However, thesauruses are not meant to find words to randomly insert into your statements to elevate your diction; this merely makes you sound pretentious (especially when you use them incorrectly).</p>

<p>I imagine this could be possible if he were to misspell the word as “quincidence,” “quinssedence,” or something similar.</p>

<p>oh god. the OP is so hilarious. i mean, BMCC is a reach for you. one of the requirements in personality, you know.</p>

63

<p>Blah blah, whine whine whine.</p>

<p>So let me get this straight.</p>

<p>1) You’re bombing AP Euro. This is a High School that you say requires you to take this course, mind you, so imagine how you may do in college that requires you to take other courses? I can’t imagine you would do that well.</p>

<p>2) Your excuse for bombing AP Euro is that…daily quizzes and readings are killing your average. Instead of budgeting your time and studying for them like you SHOULD, you instead blame homework from all of your other classes. Mhm. Oh, and you also mention that your freshman year grades weren’t good as well…as if that’s supposed to be an excuse for your excessive arrogance. </p>

<p>3) What exactly were you looking for with your post? If it’s pity, think again. Many of us have been through worse, most of us aren’t going to go to Harvard, and the vast majority of us did better than you, and didn’t complain or insult our peers in the process. If you want reassurance…well that’s not gonna happen. The truth is, your grades are awful. If you get better grades from now on and rock your SAT (unlikely, considering the fact that you didnt rock them already and you obviously have academic weaknesses) you may be able to get into a low-tier college, but if your self-confidence is really that tied to Harvard or MIT (and if your performance is equally dependent on what classes you take) then you’re probably not going to like where you get in anyway because it won’t be one of those schools. I mean, you’re not going to get into Harvard. You’re just not. And before you make another "…we will see who ‘pwns’ who!!! " quip, let me save you the embarrassment. You have already been “pwned”. Any attempts to refute what I say will only prove my assessment correct. </p>

<p>4) People far kinder than I am threw out other options for college because admission to other schools is somewhat less “cutthroat” than Harvard or MIT, and your gpa would be fixable, so long as you can actually perform well. Nevertheless, you should be so lucky as to get into college with your performance and attitude. And you threw it back in their faces, saying that they ALL have no clue what they are talking about. Guess who else doesn’t know what they’re talking about - a sophomore with a 1360/2400 on the SAT’s who nearly failed freshman year.</p>

<p>So I strongly suggest you do some introspecting. You’re performing poorly in High School, you are going to perform poorly in college, and instead of seeing it as a pattern you blame everything else possible. Maybe you’re just not as smart as you’d like to think. Maybe you don’t know how to study. Maybe you should focus on that instead of closing doors that are barely open in the first place based on principle.</p>

<p>Resignation accepted.</p>

<p>It’s quite apparent from the content quality of your posts that you are not going to fit in with the people who are the consummate Harvard and MIT students. Also, as someone who is working on an ISEF project, please don’t go around saying any idiot can win because that’s not true in the slightest. Thank you :)</p>

<p>Wow I can’t believe he’s managed to successfully ■■■■■ you guys for 5 pages.</p>

<p>Several things.</p>

<p>A) Affirmative Action doesn’t go that far. I know of a few Native American and African American friends with a 2200+ SAT and one or two PRESIDENT positions who did not get into any of the HYPS (one went to WashU and another to Cornell) simply because their GPA’s were so low, even compared to other URM’s. So don’t bank on rolling you way to Harvard just because you are URM.</p>

<p>B) A sophomore year SAT isn’t telling to an exact degree, but it’s usually around the same score. I got a 1970 my freshman year and a 2360 my junior year. It’s a four hundred point jump, yes, but 400 points higher than your ~1350 is still a 1700, or even lower than URM recruited athletes’ scores. URM’s usually need around a 1900+.</p>

<p>C) @wesley108 You sound really immature. Don’t mean to be hating, that’s just my opinion. And this will get across in interviews unless you polish up a little bit.</p>

<p>D) @wesley108 You still have a chance. If you’re willing to work hard the TRADITIONAL way (writing a NYT bestseller isn’t even realistic for adult authors, Intel takes years of dedication way more strenuous than studying for high school tests, etc…), and “get all that into high school” NOW, you can still have a chance. Join a few clubs and become president and be willing to sacrifice parts of your social life AND sleep for better grades. </p>

<p>If not, any more tricks you plan to pull out of your pocket should either be a few million dollars to buy a Harvard building or being adopted by the lead admissions officer.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>@whitechalk: 26 AP’s? How is that even possible? Over 4 years on a 8 period schedule, you have 32 classes. That means he took 6 non-AP’s only, which doesn’t seem possible. </p>

<p>I suppose you have a PE requirement, English I and English II, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Cal are H/G and Bio/Chem AP are typically double blocks. That’s nine period right there.</p>

<p>And to get to AP languages, you need to go through 3 years of other stuff, or at least 1 or 2 unless you’re immersion/ speak it anyways. That’s a couple more classes right there.</p>

<p>I’ve more or less maxxed out my schedule, and I’ll finish with like 12.</p>

<p>OKAY PEOPLE WHO KEPT ASKING WHAT DID I WANT PEOPLE TO SAY LOOK AT THIS:
He’s real but suggests things at the same time (even though some of them were sarcastic…lol)

A)I know it doesn’t go that far I just made “a big deal” about it because it is a joke between me and my friends. As we say “One of the few things were it comes in handy”.
B )Yeah I know not trying to make more excuses but I got a new fancy calculator (Ti Nspire) and I didn’t know how to do it so I did really bad on the math. Other sections I just have a natural problem in and I will study my butt off and do better…
C) lol my friends say when I talk online I’m like a really different person so I am way more mature in person just trust me.
D) Okay maybe not NY times best seller but I will get my novel published! Would that help? And ok… <em>sigh</em> :frowning: thanks for the advice…</p>

<p>Haters please leave because I am changing this thread’s tone it will now have a more serious tone without insults to others. To those I insulted please accept my deepest apology</p>

<p>PS How did you know what I was planing? lol :wink:

<p>I’m not sure why people are responding to this obvious ■■■■■ thread from an obvious ■■■■■ poster and getting angry with his responses. He’s just having fun getting other posters riled up trying to prove him wrong, and I personally think this is hilarious. So kudos for that, I guess.</p>

<p>I mean, don’t respond if you don’t want him to say anything.</p>

<p>I respond because I hope he will take this logical nonresponse as a cue to flip his **** and get creative with the caps lock and font size.</p>

<p>Don’t let me down, wes, I’ve come to expect a lot from you.</p>

<p>^Haters like this I was talking about please stop posting in this thread </p>

<p>ANYWAY ANYONE ELSE WANT TO ACTUALLY WANT TO DO A LOGICAL RESPONSE?</p>

<p>Oh wait, she probably didn’t take Calc AB or Physics B along with Physics C and Calculus BC (you see, I only know that she didn’t take the some of the lang APs like Jap, French, etc.). So that’s 24. That’s a rate of like 8 AP’s per year. But that’s not possible. So it’s probably 6-7 (which can be fit into a 9 pd schedule) per year and some self-studies. Some requirements, like Health, Art, and Music can be taken over the summer.</p>

73

<p>@whitechalk</p>

<p>Haters gonna hate</p>

74

<p>Look Antwon, I already gave you a logical response on my first reply. I said you had a low chance because of your terrible grades, SAT scores, and your insistence that these national awards are a piece of cake to win. Is this without logic? Look over to the admitted thread and decide for yourself whether you have a shot or not. You really don’t need us to tell you the obvious, but you still choose not to listen. OK.</p>

<p>“Yeah I know not trying to make more excuses but I got a new fancy calculator (Ti Nspire) and I didn’t know how to do it so I did really bad on the math. Other sections I just have a natural problem in and I will study my butt off and do better…”</p>

<p>^I guess knowing the basics of math would help, even without a calculator? Lolol</p>

<p>And also to let you know, Mr Dodson, you don’t hate at all. It’s the posters’ faults and their mutiple account postings on this forum. Drat, how all the replys are false and untrue. You have a 100% successful admit rate into Harvard.</p>

75

<p>There is no point in wasting anymore time on this thread. If the original intention of the OP was for people to gauge his/her chances at Harvard, this goal has been achieved. Moreover, the OP has cited posts that gave “solutions” as the ones he/she prefers. Many of these posts have also been written. As such, goals have been met, and the need for this thread to exist has also become nonexistent.</p>

76

<p>This thread has become more of an entertainment value rather than a serious inquisition,</p>

77

<p>

Agreed! Everyone stop please as will I now</p>

<p>There is no future for you in the world of academia.</p>
