<p>'Nuf, wow great grammar. Anyway, anybody in this program?</p>
<p>early college 'nuf is not a grammar mistake, it isn't even a contraction, but rather it is a commonly used slang terminology that appropriates the meaning of "enough" while utilizing the more commonly enunciated second syllable and presenting it in a more readable format "nuf" as opposed to the absurd English spelling "nough."</p>
<p>It is a bastardization of the English language, but at least it was intentional.</p>
<p>Well, this person should use proper English. They can't say anything, because they're not perfect either.</p>
<p>early, don't get aggravated. the point is you are trying to insult people many years your elder on here and you are going to get push back. i saw another post of yours saying you are some actor, some hot deal down in hotlanta.</p>
<p>i am sure you think that you are talented. the thing about all of this is that at some point you have to start to realize other people want to help you and not hurt you. i tried helping you a lot on here and you dismissed me. i think you are just a pugnacious little kid who can't quite understand how to interact with people who (in this case) have a better perspective on the issue.</p>
<p>you remind me a lot of my cousin who is in 9th grade. he thinks he has the answers and the way...one day he will, but he will also discover the road to his dreams are a lot more complex than they seem at 14. </p>
<p>if you want to play the 'english language game' we can, but be prepared that there are those of us here who understand english far better than you do at this stage in your life, and with stronger argumentation skills that can run circles around you.</p>
<p>if you want to play the "thanks but no thanks" game with my help, then realize that you are pushing away someone on here who actually does want to help you. </p>
<p>make a choice - do you think you understand the world and how it works from your perch? or are you going to enter into a conversation with older people who have some more...seasoned experience on what is possible.</p>
<p>They don't know anything about the program. I just wanted someone who knew personally about it. Also, I never did say I am a "hot deal down in hotlanta". Please send me the link, ty. I am very insulted by you, because I'm not how you think I am. All I wanted was for someone to answer my question. I didn't want to play the 'english language game' or the 'thanks but no thanks game'. All I wanted was for someone to give me an answer. Read this post from a previous question, and see what the person said about myself: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/659198-what-do-very-bright-s-but-also-very-lazy.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/659198-what-do-very-bright-s-but-also-very-lazy.html</a></p>
<p>I do know some of you have tried, but I already knew the stuff you were saying. It is useless, if I'm not getting help. No offense to anyone...</p>
<p>This is your post on a chance thread for Simons Rock:
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/simons-rock-college-bard/656798-what-my-chances-bard-college-simons-rock-aep-scholarship.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/simons-rock-college-bard/656798-what-my-chances-bard-college-simons-rock-aep-scholarship.html</a></p>
<p>re: talent agent, etc., all your awards, using absolute intrinsic characteristics to define yourself.</p>
<p>1) you may not "be" who i think you are, but this persona you carry online is someone that i would not want to be friends with. you are dimissive, not open-minded, lack initiative - that is the picture i get. i hope who you "are" in real life is more self aware.
2) i gave you multiple answers to your questions and you find it useless.
3) but i suppose you are right to be upset at me...because i didn't give you the answers you wanted. if you had a specific answer in mind, why ask the question? or at least ask a leading question. the point is if i could tell you all you needed was 5 years of French to be set, then i would tell you. but i knew tons of kids who spent 5 years of French in HS and can barely say a sentence. i am sorry my answers were not the ones you sought, though they were answers to the questions you gave.
4) you lack perspective, not because you are a bad 1st year, but because you are a 1st year in HS! it is natural not to know all the answers. but when i have time and time and time again tried to not only answer questions, but offer advice, you have dismissed it as unhelpful. that is is amateurish and downright rude. your parents never taught you to be kind to your elders?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I was telling people about myself, so they can tell me what my chances are for Bard. I also don't even live in ATL. I have an agent, not the same thing. This has nothing to do with me, but things about me. I never said I was a great actor. When you apply for a college, you tell them the good things about you. </p></li>
<li><p>Your answers didn't help my question, and it isn't right now</p></li>
<li><p>All I wanted was one question, that's it. I wanted to know about the program from someone who experienced it.</p></li>
<li><p>I said it was unhelpful because it didn't answer my question. Some of your advice is helpful, but if off topic. Also, I am treating everyone here the same. I am very nice to some, if they are nice back. This was a question for anyone who knew about it. I can careless if an elder answered this, as long as the person knew my answer. I am an open minded person, mature teenager, loves new things, etc. Did you read my post I told you about? If you are so old, why do you bother coming on this site? No offense, but this site is suppose to be for kids asking questions about college's. If I'm wrong, then I'll go back to Y!Answers. They are a lot nicer than you people. You should talk to my teachers. I am not at this site to make friends, I already have enough. I am here to ask questions. When I found out you replied, I wanted to die. I hate fighting with people, and it never solves anything in life. Please can we stop, ty.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>why don't you stop responding? if you have a problem with me/us, you can stop too.</p>
<p>but if you want me to stop, why insult me and then say "Please can we stop." I am a recent college grad offering perspective on the process. I don't want to fight, but like any human - when someone unnecessarily takes a jab at me, I am going to push back. and i am using all the energy i have not to be flagrant because i don't want you to hold back your dreams, but you have to realize how you affect other people. you are not innocent.</p>
<p>there are no rules on this site on who gets to join, from 12 year olds to 80 year olds - it runs the gamut. i am one kind of person, you are another. if you just talked to 'kids,' how would you find someone with experience in the program you speak of that is in its first year?</p>
<p>you, my friend, have consistently been the instigator here. when someone writes a comment throughout this thread you have continuously insulted or repudiated them.
yes we can stop. but i would prefer that we come to some sort of truce about this. i mean it bothers me that you "wanted to die" because i responded. though it equally bothers me that if it bothered you so much, why did you respond? you see the dilemma? so let's not leave this on a bad foot...</p>
<p>i am sorry i purposefully egged you on to show off, which was without question in part a motive after your initial dismissive response. i hope you have a similar desire to make amends.</p>
<p>You just graduated from college, well you act like your 50 yrs older. Why did I respond? Well, I don't like people insulting me. "when someone unnecessarily takes a jab at me, I am going to push back" Well, me too! I don't like to argue, but I'm not going to let people say bad things about myself. Also, I said something to the other person because they were being rude. I also don't want my image on CC to down hill, when I just joined last week. TRUCE, lol.</p>
<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>The Sciences Po is one of the most prestigious international relations/public policy schools in Europe. Think of it as a French version of Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service. You’re quite ambitious to want to do one of their dual degree programs with Columbia University, so I wish you the best of luck as they accept no more than twenty students each year. </p>
<p>You have to have at least a B2 level in French in order to attend the Sciences Po, which can be certified by either taking the TCF-DAP or a DELP/DAP French language exam. A word of caution, your French must be quite proficient in order to pass these exams. I’m not trying to doubt your ability to learn a language, but it really does take time to master one up to the B2 level, no matter how smart someone is. Language is very intuitive - hours of grammar work and literature analysis are required just to be able to master a language at a written level. Spoken French in a classroom is different from French spoken in an everyday setting, not just in vocabulary, but the speed as well as various accents. I’m sure if you really commit, you can do it, but as you’re wanting to go to a very prestigious French school that many native French people fail to get into, just be prepared that you may not be accepted into the program that you want. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>early_college, you sound young, condescending, angry and asian. Not that there’s anything wrong with it (any of the aforementioned adjectives)…and if you are not, forgive me. </p>
<p>Going by what you want to do- skip 2 years of high school, dual degree, etc. and by your impatient, haughty and brisk responses to others in the thread, I come offering you a piece of advice. </p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - Slow down you crazy child–vienna -Billy joel](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV2YQSrMy3A]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV2YQSrMy3A)</p>
<p>Give it a listen. Take it however way you want [read: chill out] May take a few years to sink in.</p>
<p>wow your plans seem a bit unplanned and rash. Not saying you shouldn’t shoot for your dreams or whatever, but this is slightly farfetched.
i can’t say anything about sciences po, but i’m pretty sure you will have a very very hard time convincing columbia’s journalism grad school that, at the age of 20, you are ready to do grad school already. also, i was taking a look at your stats in the bard page, and you expressed trouble reaching the 2100 mark on the SAT. i know you are a freshman in high school, but i remember when i was a freshman in high school a few years ago, i’d passed 2100 (higher rank too… you shouldn’t be doing so poorly freshman year…). and yet, it took me a LOT of effort to get into columbia (and i’m inclined to believe, by the dean of admission’s note encouraging me to participate in tons of music programs, that they ended up only accepting me because they need more good violinists in their orch). i’m not trying to put you down or anything, just giving you a reality check: there are people out there with perfect grades, perfect test scores, perfect well rounded ecs, etc who are applying for the same spot as you are. correct me if i’m wrong but i personally don’t even think grad school would be quite as interested in ec and stuff, they really want to see results.
Maybe you should just chill, try and do much better in school (hard classes is no excuse for a low ranking), and get to columbia grad/science po the normal way? you had honor roll only MOST of middle school, and now, come freshman year, you’re not quite doing so well either. with this trend, its hard to believe that you will excel in bard…</p>
<p>Thanks for that one poster who answered on page 2. Anyway, I’m NOT Asian, angry or condescending. Also, I have never even took the SAT. I never said I did either. I also don’t have a low ranking. I’m still in the top 50% and it was just one semester. Also, I don’t want to go to Bard. The school is called Bard at Simon’s Rock. It is a different school from Bard. I had all A’s last year and all A’s and B’s this year, except for math. I had a teacher who does not give us a lesson and it hurt my GPA. I never said I’m doing bad. I will get all A’s this semester except for math probably and I actually found out that Northwestern has a program I’m intrested in. You can get a MA/BA in four years and I want to do this after Simon’s Rock. I really don’t need to go to graduate school for either of my career choices. I also don’t appreciate you make assumptions about me. I also agree with that other poster, it would have been hard for me to learn French on that level. I am taking French I next year, so I’m far from it. Thanks!</p>
<p>I also thought Whoosh sounds very racist. I have a plan and I have to be Asian? Wow, I’m speechless. Also, I have planned a lot. But the plan is going to change a lot, I don’t think I could learn French in 5 years and go to Europe.</p>
<p>Hi
Has anybody received that their application is completed and submitted email. My child has not gotten theirs and i was wondering. Also what is the timeline for interview or any next steps.
Any updates would be nice from other students who have applied in this program for fall of 2012
thanks
