<p>i wish that my rents be a little less involved in the college process
<em>sighhh</em></p>
<p>darcy you are being ridiculous, having high standards should not mean being "perfect" for heavens sake</p>
<p>and gee whiz, darcy, you yourself act like 780 is a failing grade</p>
<p>780 is phenomenal and to the OP, be proud</p>
<p>But you need to know that no matter what you do, it willnever be enough for your parents who have ridiculous expectations</p>
<p>So all you can do is know you are doing all you can, keep trying hard, and make your own happiness and life</p>
<p>And ignore posts like those that said you failed because you didn't obtain perfection</p>
<p>Your parents would absolutely beat me and disown me if I were their daughter. I got 720 on both my SAT 2s in June! You should be happy with your scores- they are awesome.</p>
<p>dude, you offend me by whining about 780s. your parents have serious problems (I have a right to offend you after you offended me)</p>
<p>At first I thought your post was a joke, but after reading further comments it appears not. So sad. Colleges hardly look at the SAT II's. Anything above 700 is more than adequate for any college. They just want to make sure that the A's you receive in school are truly A's and not inflated. I can understanding striving for perfect scores on the regular SAT, but not the SAT II's.</p>
<p>when i saw my scores this morning, i was satisfied, but now... i dont even know what to feel</p>
<p>show your parents the finger. seriously. </p>
<p>the way they reacted was pathetic, no offense.</p>
<p>feel bad that your parents are uninformed, have little knowledge of the college process, and have such unrealisitic expectations</p>
<p>if they only will tolerate "perfection" you just have to let go of the notion that you can make them happy</p>
<p>once you realize that, that they won't change, but how YOU react to them can, you will be happier</p>
<p>Mom, Dad, I am not perfect, I am human, and my scores are amazing, sorry if you only want perfection, as no person is ever perfect, and I feel that no matter what I do, it will always be something, I am proud of my scores, and if they are not good enough for you, there is nothing I can do....</p>
<p>I can't remember my parents ever reprimanding me about grades. And if they did, I probably couldn't have cared less ... which is probably why I don't remember...</p>
<p>Just tell them, fine.</p>
<p>Have them pay for a new SATII, and then purposely get a 300 on it or something. That'll really show them.</p>
<p>lol, that's a dumb idea, because then you ruin your own life...</p>
<p>Don't the colleges just look at your top score?</p>
<p>Anyways, you're parents are [sorry in advance] being total asses, tell them to shove it, it's YOUR life, YOUR accomplishments, worry about what YOU think of YOURSELF, not their absurd notions.</p>
<p>oh my god. 780? you're such a failure!
:: preceding words dripping with sarcasm ::</p>
<p>You poor thing! Let me give you a hug</p>
<p>As well as congrats because those scores are EXCELLENT! I'm not saying plain-people excellent, but CC excellent; those scores are a match for HSPY!</p>
<p>As for what your (ridiculous and crazy) parents said, please don't let it get to you! Your scores are top notch, even for HSPY candidates. </p>
<p>By the way, have you seen this Crazy Asian Parents spoof yet? Might cheer you up to have a laugh at them: :)</p>

<p>lol ive seen that
my dad told me that since i ruined my chance for college, i better start planning for grad school now........AGSKJD</p>
<p>seriously, you should be soooo proud of a 780!</p>
<p>george mason is still a good school, i dont know what you're talking about...</p>
<p>I had the same (stereotypical) thought as I started reading the posts in this thread: Asian parents. I really feel for the students of these kinds of parents (Asian or not). How can they keep sane under this kind of constant pressure. High School is a time for fun as well as study. It's more than just preparation for an elite university. It should also be a prep for life as well.</p>
<p>hey I can do better (smirks)</p>
<p>you know 810.</p>
<p>Asian parents can be difficult and at times unreasonable. There is no point arguing with them. Just show them the stats. I am an Asian parent and I know what my kids are capable of doing. I don't set unrealistic expectations on them, it's frustrating to them and it's disappointing to me. My D has lower SAT II in chem than you and she got into very good schools (even by Asian standard). Tell your parents, very respectfully, that they are wrong.</p>
<p>You can't change your parents behavior, but you can control your reactions to them. I would try to ignore them when they are irrational.</p>
