<p>It's sinking down toward the page again...</p>
<p>Genesis, 1 year of SB, isnt gonna make a difference especially when u dont win.
and "1st generation college-bound" is just FOB BS.
and.. "low income"....its called "unreported income tax" besides, if u live in SOCAL your home is on AVERAGE $600,000 most likley more...</p>
<p>John Hopkins - depends on applicant pool '07 (just make sure u dont get and "F" in Biology......
Washington U. in St. Louis- depends on applicant pool '07 (just make sure u dont get and "F" in Biology......
U. of Chicago- Slight Reach
Cornell - depends on applicant pool '07 (just make sure u dont get and "F" in Biology......
UC Berkeley- Match
UCLA- Match</p>
<p>Ya, I agree with Caltech04, it is pretty cheap to misrepresent your income and rip off Americans who have lived here their whole life and weren't born in Japan like you.</p>
<p>Pssshhh...JV Tennis....its only 1 year and you know it....plus you hardly ever went to practice or games so I wouldn't even count it. And you have never been president of Key Club so thats bs. And you have NOT been in NHS for 4 years....it hasn't even existed at your school until this year. Also, Science Olympiad regional medals are a bunch of bs and don't even look slightly impressive.</p>
<p>The only college that I can suggest for you is Mt. San Antonio Community College. That is a perfect match for you. All others are a reach. Keep up the good "F's".</p>
<p>nice eval langster...congrats on post number one.</p>
<p>I totally agree! haha j/k OP. don't worry. you'll be alright.</p>
<p>Actually, I seriously don't think he'll be alright. Cuz when one lies like(~)-(~) they don't deserve to go to schools like Johns Hopkins, Cornell, or Berkeley.</p>
