<p>That's a common saying around here, but it's not true. The only reason you'd think everybody here is weird is that you don't notice the normal people (because they're normal). Seriously, all you have to do is actually pay attention and you'll find that most people are normal.</p>
<p>Yeah the only ppl that say that are usually ugly (I find). Just like the people who complain about the social life are usually anti-social and surprisingly; also ugly.</p>
<p>uhm, accepted.. what do you have against ugly people....
<em>takes a look at screen name</em>
hmmm?</p>
<p>hahahaa, jk. it's all good. thanks for your (that's a universal "you") reassurance</p>
<p>I don't mind ugly people as long as they stop complaining. You can't tell me you don't see the IRONY in anti-social people complaining how nobody goes up and talks to them or wants to be their friend.</p>

<p>okay, so hardly any girls in CS? hahaha. score. will this help me get in to SCS?? hehehe... I love being the only girl in CS at school... And I took the CS AP today...wheeeeee</p>
<p>Discussions like this make my head hurt with the frustration.</p>
<p>Yes the gender ratio in SCS is rather skewed but seriously that doesn't make it hell here. I only know a few CS guys who are unhappy with their lot; the rest are either not single or they don't care that they're single.</p>
<p>so, the weird thing is.. i swear i responded to this thread.
uhm, i said something along the lines of</p>
<p>"hey, me too! [to idamayer]
I'm the only girl in CS in my school.. and I took the CS AB today."
then went to say I thought I did fairly well on it....
joking about how we weren't allowed to talk about the questions/problems..
which i didn't. so there's no reason it should've been like deleted or anything...
freaky. just a bit. I'M GOING INSANE.</p>
<p>and ThinkDifferent, please don't blame us for our stupidity.</p>
<p>For those of us who aren't there, we can only go on our imaginations, what we've heard and what we think it'll be like. If we're on these forums, we obviously care about what it's going to be like, and we can only think about it so long before our thoughts go to extremes.</p>
<p>Thanks for keeping us in line, buddy.</p>
<p>@ notaprettygirl: yea! <em>high five!</em> we win, huh? yeah, the CS AB didn't seem hard at all...which scared me to death... except the very very last question... recusion = death</p>
<p>@thinkdifferent: (I love your sn, btw...) I am like that also, -single and happy that way. I was just excited because someone mentioned that I would have a better chance at getting in because I'm female. Which is spiffy because I am definately on the bottom of the applicant pool...</p>
<p>DUDE. okay, yea i'm not allowed to talk about it.
esp. since it hasn't been 48 hours.
but uhm, there was a problem on ONE of my AP tests, possible one you mentioned, possibly not, that was DEATHLY HARD. that kind of made me go...what!?!?! and made my head spin. but i won't say which one. or what test... yea. lol.</p>
<p>lol... yeah... sigh... how did you think you did on the CS AP, though?</p>
<p>aside from that problem (i mean, what problem?) and something else, pretty good. i think. calc should be easy. i hope. AHH, speaking of which. i need to sleep!!! gnite forum people!</p>
<p>good night!!!</p>
<p>CS AP...i took it too!</p>
<p>am i the only person accepted in SCS who will be getting a 3 on it...i failed recursion part</p>
<p>i dont talk about games as I never play games...but i love talking about academics...yay SCS guys...ugh</p>
<p>That is depressing. I want my son to have a social life in college. When he was young, he was charming, pleasant and friendly. After the dark side seduced him, he has done nothing but computer games on the weekend. He used to play sports, and chilled out with friends. Now his universe is the computer screen in front of his face.</p>
<p>Oh, no! If he goes to CMU or other tech school, he would be surrounded by other social inept that talk and care nothing but video games and academics. That is really a sad, dismal, and miserable social scene. I want him to get kissed by pretty or not so pretty girls, get wild and get a life. LOL.</p>
<p>t1388, the thing I hear is the school is not flooded with socially inept people, sure they exist, but hell thats anywhere. I honestly think its better not to try to guide your son toward your own direction... I really think you should just let your son be off and explore his own options. I know you want the best for your son, but you can't hold his hand the entire way through, as much as you know your decision is better, let him make mistakes for himself. If he never gets dates in college, if hes entirely socially inept in college, that is just simply what he wants. I have spoken with several students, and the social life is definately there, there really is no giant limitation. The only thing is, your son has to have the motivation to actually reach out and be social. Don't push him away from an awesome college (imo at least) just because your afriad he may take other venues, have confidence in your son and let him learn for himself. :)</p>
<p>To be honest with you guys, it doesn't matter what the guy:girl ratio is, cause all the girls at CMU are ahhhhemmmm. So what if 70 percent of the population is girls, that only means you have more chance of encountering 'soso' looking girls and by 'soso' i am being VERY VERY VERY nice... you guys get the point ....</p>
<p>do you go to cmu? how can you generalize the entire female population?</p>
<p>Facebook...</p>
<p>nycschoolss, I am going to perfectly honest with you. I think you're pretty lame. </p>
<p>To judge the entire female population of CMU based on facebook is asinine. I'm far from arrogant or conceited, but I know I'm a cute girl. When I went to NYC to meet a group of people, all of the other girls I met were cute (and all of you who were there, back me up please). None of us were ugly or "ahhhemmm" as you so intelligently labeled "all" of the girls at CMU. </p>
<p>You should really spend some actual time at CMU meeting people in person (as opposed to judging people solely by photograph) before you jump to the conclusion that we're all heinous.</p>
