CC Lingo?

College Confidential Community

<p>I'm kind of new on CC and looking through threads and stuff I've noticed a few terms, I guess, that keep popping up. I was wondering if someone could tell me what they mean?</p>

<p>URM
10 RS
S/D (I think this is son/daughter)
RR
PR (Princeton Review?)</p>

<p>If you know, please let me know. Thanks!</p>

<p>URM = Underrepresented minority
10 RS = I'm not really sure. The closest I can fathom is "10 characters"
S/D = Son/Daughter
DS= Dear Son
DD = Dear Daughter (those are for pretentious parents)
RR = can't say I've seen that one
PR = Princeton Review
HYPSM = Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT (everyone asks about that one)</p>

<p>10 RS is 10 Real SATs, which is this really old book published by the College Board for the old SAT. RR stands for Rocket Review, which is a prep book for the SAT.</p>

4

<p>In all my bygone days on CC, I've never seen either of those. Huh.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, you didn't spend as much time lurking in the SAT forums as I did.</p>

6

<p>What does WUSTL mean?</p>

7

<p>RR=Rocket Review
WUSTL=Washington University at St. Louis</p>

8

<p>Oh, I see; I thought it was an acronym like HYPSM, lol.</p>

9

<p>HYPSMC (CalTech) i think...</p>

10

<p>a lot of posts make more sense now, haha. thanks everyone!</p>

11

<p>Still can't figure out what 10charr means...</p>

12

<p>You write "10 char" when your original response is too short to pass the amount of 'characters' needed to post it, in which 10 is needed.</p>

13

<p>Is it possible to get rid of that stupid limit, anyways? If so, they need to do it, since everyone is clearly bypassing it with the whole "10 char" thing.</p>

<p>On the other hand, at this point it is kinda part of CC culture...</p>

<p>I'm always irked when people say DS/DD; it always reminds me of some old woman who just figured out how to use the internet and is proud of little Johnny for getting a star and a smiley face on his homework.</p>

<p>AA= Affirmative Action.
Before this site I always thought of AA to be alcoholics anonymous... but thanks to CC I have changed.</p>
