<p>hahah hao it's why they came here! to go to harvard!</p>
<p>i dunno. my mom wanted me to apply princeton because it's super AND close.
but then i'd be like "i have absolutely no shot whatsoever"
and she'd be like "how do you know if you don't try?"
and i'd be like "i know."</p>
<p>also, i wouldn't want to go to princeton so there. hah. whooooo ah but penn won't take me either =(</p>
<p>Applying for the heck of it?! Wow.</p>
<p>legendofmax, that's just the title of the thread, we are just the asians who have taken over... haha... YEAH EAGLESSSS</p>
<p>FLY EAGLES FLY (and azns)!! SUPERBOWLLLLLLLL. BOYAHHHHH.</p>
<p>haha Chinese took over starting the first page. Our conversations never died since then.</p>
<p>hao - it seems like Asians always do what other Asians do, such as playing the piano, violin, joining math team etc. They don't want to miss out on what other Asians are doing :-/ Well thing'll change a bit in our generation ;)</p>
<p>I'm not smart enough to join the goddamn math team... actually, I don't know if that's true b/c I just haven't had the time to attend the meetings since it's at the same time as my violin lessons... but I've got the typical azn instrument down.</p>
<p>lolol
yeah, i never tried for science/math team cuz i didn't feel like they were my forte
i did academic team some.. that was fun. but i wasn't great at it.</p>
<p>i love science and math... but as an azn, i am very ashamed to say that i'm not doing so well in physics (a combo of both subjects). very shameful indeed. :'( something is not right.</p>
<p>Hehe, it's okay. I don't think the math/science azn stereotype should apply to those who did not attend school in Asia. It's really the hardcore math education there that trained those azns to seem really good at math when they come to the US.</p>
<p>i wish i stayed in china longer and were better in math. i went to first grade in china then i came to the u.s. and skipped second grade. i used to be so good at math too. when i was like 3, i could recite the multiplication table and other amazing sh t that american kids didn't learn until like the friggin 5th grade. i was so surprised when i first came here. i got dumber b/c of the bad influences.</p>
<p>Naw. I think the style of teaching's different between China and US. Frankly, I gone to school there, and taught kids there, and, it's like comparing apples and oranges when you try to compare "chinese" education to "american" education. I like the US system better. I have genius friends in China, but they spend their whole life studying because that's what you are "supposed" to do. Just my two cents. </p>
<p>I think I am the only Chinese kid here who doesn't play an instrument...I should be disowned. :(</p>
<p>Well, I'm not exactly a prodigy here. For someone who started violin when I was 3 1/2, I SUCK majorly. I should be disowned for lack of both musical and academic talent.</p>
<p>i thought u made regions?</p>
<p>yes, but still. that doesn't mean i'm good. it just means that most people who were in districts sucked also except the first three chairs in first violin. i kinda just didn't practice the districts music and bs-ed through everything. the funny thing was, some people in front me actually tried really hard to get the notes right and i was like just like "um... no..." the whole districts thing... it's a long story and i don't think anyone wants to hear it.</p>
<p>EDIT: how do you know i made regionals? my aim profile?</p>
<p>you have yourself a stalker</p>
<p>(naw, i think it was talked about before)</p>
<p>yea... u did mention it before, when i was talking about nj regions... damn hard... i mean... nj-asian central of the east... like SF</p>
<p>and here we are back to the asian discussion. i'm probably on the lowest tier of all intelligent asians. in fact, i wouldn't really call myself intelligent either... :'(</p>
<p>ouch... that's gotta hurt... but no... there are no stupid asians... except for a couple that i know, but they're fasian..</p>
<p>fasian? like fake asians who are wannabes?</p>
<p>ok, maybe i exaggerated a little. i always do it. i get mostly a's... except in a certain class called PHYSICS. last year, i got final grades of B in english and math. that really sucked, being an azn and all --> math. but geometry was all like reasoning with words. i'm a strictly numbers person. words don't make sense.</p>
<p>i was going to retort w/ the fact that my brother's really not intelligent until u said "fasian" which we'll take for fake asian.. what? ... isn't that just an excuse to keep the "asian" race "intelligent"?</p>
