<p>When you run for Congress, "Democrats >>>>>>>>>>> Republicanz," "What is this crap," "high-income surburban multiethnic person," and "I sometimes suprise myself that I'm doing all these things while still so young!" shouldn't be among your most oft-used phrases. </p>
<p>I mean, I'm a progressive, relatively financial secure person too and I don't mean to be inflammatory, but don't expect much sympathy if you're going to call yourself future this or future that, list out all of the Ivies as target schools, and take on such an entitled tone.</p>

<p>I second that wholeheartedly. You are not going to make many friends in the political field with the attitude that the above poster pointed out.</p>
<p>Early Action/Rolling Decision Schools:
University of Chicago -- Better math score needed
University of Maryland - CP [Honors College] -- I know nothing about this school.
University of Pittsburgh [Honors College] -- I know nothing about this school.
Rutgers University at New Brunswick [Honors College] -- You'll make it in, no problem; I think you need a 1500 or 1550 or above, as well as top 10% of class to get a full ride.</p>
<p>Regular Decision Schools:
Georgetown University -- You'll proooobably get in.
John Hopkins University -- No clue.
New York University -- No clue.
George Washington University [Honors College] -- Waitlisted; they don't like overqualified applicants.
University of Delaware [Honors College] -- I know nothing about this one.
University of Virginia -- Dunno.
Duke University -- Iffy, but then again, being rejected, I probably don't know.</p>
<p>Princeton University
Harvard University
Yale University</p>
<p>I don't dare speak about the above. Something like you have a chance?</p>
<p>Brown University -- I know nothing about.
Columbia University -- good shot.
Cornell University -- In, I think.
Dartmouth College -- I don't know.</p>
<p>And Lolz. You've gone down the Ivies and gotten rid of UPenn?</p>

Well it's not name dropping, because I'm only getting them from one or two people that I've actually worked closely with me and who have seen my achievments and development firsthand, and so it wouldn't just be that paragraph "oh he's a smart leader blah blah blah".

<p>Yeah, it's just it sounds somewhat shady haha. I don't know though. Maybe it will work.</p>

Self-study AP tests means im self-studying them without a class since no AP class was offered for that subject
[/quote]
</p>
<p>I understood this part. What I didn't understand is why the hell would someone take so many "self-study AP tests"? I'm not sure if they make that much of a difference in college admissions as colleges will take into account the caliber of your high school and how many APs were offered there. So if you are only taking a couple because your school offers a couple, then they would factor that in.</p>
<p>^ Yea, my school doesn't offer very many, it's been cutting back on AP Programs everyyear so now we only have 1-2 AP classes availible every year to juniors/seniors, 1 to sophmores, and 0 to freshman.</p>
<p>Admissions definitely factors it in. lol. my school offers two APs junior year, and two senior year, and a good percentage of the class (something like 25/70?) got into/ is going to top tier schools. =] you're good in that respect, though the self studying will probably be impressive.</p>
<p>You should seriously consider the US Naval Academy. Annapolis would be great for any political career (Obama's possible VP and Senator, Jim Webb, went there, Reagan's right-hand man Ollie North, Jimmy Carter, Ross Perot, et al). It ain't the ivy league (your ego might be a bit shattered), but it's probably best if you're considering a life of public service. Others have been chiding your pretension, egoism and attitude of entitlement, so I'll urge you to remember: as a politician, you're a public <b> servant </b>, not the other way around.</p>
