<p>Wow! You are so smart and a very hard worker, adorkable! Moreover, you can yodel and speak 4 languages! Amazing!</p>

8

<p>nikkei, you sound so sarcastic D:</p>

9

<p>Hmm... Maybe if he added ":rolleyes:" to his post?</p>

10

<p>yodeling???</p>

<p>i'd say in, but if you don't, then it was the APs and the fact you took the SAT 3 times</p>

11

<p>I don't know how important AP scores are....I just talked to someone who failed all of his AP tests in high school and still made it here.</p>

12

<p>LOL yeah, yodeling.. haha. that used to be one of my deepest, darkest embarrasing secrets but oh well. my dad taught me when i was a kid & then it just kinda stuck with me. i don't do it anymore, but i used to go around retirement homes yodeling. haha. :(</p>

<p>matt - i told myself i shouldn't have taken it 3 times but some people said it didn't matter how many times since they just took your best score. damn. haha. i didn't know they cared about how many times you took it :x</p>

13

<p>Yeah, I heard that they don't really care about AP scores unless you did well on them. <em>adding fuel to the fire without any citations</em></p>

14

<p>I wouldn't sweat the amount of times you've taken it. Three isn't bad.</p>

15

<p>You sound like a girl who does well in academics and has lots of fun. But too bad in college, your tendency will only lean on one side.</p>

16

<p>haha yep. i guess we'll just have to see. :)</p>

17

<p>Hey adorkable, since you are Korean and live in LA, did you take Elite? :)</p>

18

<p>LOL. NO WAY! you know about it?</p>

<p>yeah, i fell into the elite hype. hahaha. elite summer & winter boot camp. :(</p>

19

<p>I live in LA too, and just about every Korean I know (who cared about school) went to Elite. HAHA.</p>

<p>There's a lot of Elites in the LA area and I think it's going to spread all over Asian populated areas.</p>

<p>Gotta love their vocabular boxes and mean quizzes. I don't think I remember a quarter of the 4000 vocab words I learned HAHA.</p>

<p>Summer boot camp and winter boot camp .. ouch! Which Elite did you go to?</p>

20

<p>lmao. hoooly crap. hahaha.</p>

<p>you went to elite too? are you korean? LOL. </p>

<p>I went to the one in ktown. I live in Silverlake and so I was gonna go to the one in La Canada area.. or the one out there but everyone from there & CV high goes to the ktown one anyway so I went there. Haha. And my friends go there.</p>

<p>Seriously.. If you missed like 4 on the 100 word vocab quiz they made you stay after (it ended at 5:30 ish? 6?) and take it over and over again until you passed. -__- Sheesh.</p>
