<p>what would be the school cliches that would form?

<p>how would it rank on newsweek rankings?

<p>lol, nice responses. ^_^</p>

<p>okay, asb = associated student body - basically, the organization that funds student activities and assemblies/clubs/etc.</p>

<p>==
Assemblies are also where awards are announced, heh heh heh. ^_^</p>

<p>the main problem is that there are competitions (USNCO for example) that prevent more than 2 people from the same school from qualifying. Or what of say, programs like RSI or schools like Harvard that want regional diversity? heh ^_^</p>

9

<p>how well do you think it would do?

<p>what would happen to the ap classes of the school?
All 37 offered.</p>

<p>how much math would be offered?
Up to doctoral levels.</p>

<p>how large would the library be?
Eh... Around 4,500,000 books, historic manuscripts.</p>

<p>what would be the school cliches that would form?
I'd think you know...</p>

<p>how would it rank on newsweek rankings?
1 of course, but separate category. </p>

<p>and what of colleges/summer programs/competitions that limited too many people from the same school from attending?
Special exception, for special recognition.</p>

<p>what would the asb office be doing?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. </p>

<p>what would happen during prom?
All the nervous geeks would just stand there sipping punch.</p>

<p>what would be the school's primary problems?
Lack of teachers holding multiple doctorates.</p>

<p>what would happen to the non-AP/non-honors courses?
Gone. Except for the Special Ed class with honors. </p>

<p>what would YOUR class rank be?
Low enough for my counselor to recommend me for a normal magnet school. </p>

<p>how would it compare to tj/stuy/ncssm/etc?
Those other schools will look like inner city crack pots.</p>

<p>how would the sports teams fare?
Worst in the league. I'd love to watch the Basketball team of nerds.</p>

Some latin ****. </p>

<p>I would never go to this school, except to steal clarinets and sousaphones.</p>

10

<p>lol...</p>

<p>add in:
"what sort of electives will the school have?"</p>

11

<p>how well do you think it would do?
It would make the newspaper headline everyday.</p>

<p>who would you hang around with?
Wait, there's still this thing called hanging out?</p>

<p>what would happen to the counseling centers?
Who needs counseling? They are just there to proctor and administer tests! </p>

<p>what would be the ethnic composition?
Asian/White/Jewish is struggling for dominance. URM will be backed in the corner
the average sat score/act score/etc?

<h1>1 suicidal thoughts</h1>

<h1>1 2400s</h1>

<h1>1 x 1000,000 listings</h1>

<p>and what of colleges/summer programs/competitions that limited too many people from the same school from attending?
those aren't good enough for us! We are publishing and researching for a Nobel paper, not some summer program. </p>

<p>what would the asb office be doing?
Absolutely nothing</p>

<p>what would happen during prom?
Girls crying in pain b/c of massively swollen toes. </p>

<p>what would be the school's primary problems?
The students are too smart and challenge the professors way too often.</p>

<p>what would happen to the non-AP/non-honors courses?
Changed to take place at 12 am when the brain is finally relaxed.</p>

<p>what would YOUR class rank be?
0</p>

<p>how would it compare to tj/stuy/ncssm/etc?
Destroy them</p>

<p>how would the sports teams fare?
Haha</p>

<p>What would happen during assemblies? lol
It will always turn to a discussion on string theory</p>

<p>what percentage of the school would qualify for National Merit?
99%, that one kid needs to be kicked out!</p>

<p>Elective classes:
Offered between 12 and 6 am ONLY. Take them at your own discretion and coffee need. Offered: all classes offered at other public high schools not seen here.</p>

12

<p>how well do you think it would do?
I think I'd manage at least a B+ average, probably more A's and A-'s than anything with a B mixed in here and there.</p>

<p>who would you hang around with?
Anyone who is into baseball and/or computers. However, I'd probably stick more with the friends from "another school" (meaning my gang I hang out with all the time here).</p>

<p>what would happen to the counseling centers?
If CC was truly as it is, they would be student-run.</p>

<p>what would be the ethnic composition?
I'm not sure what it is on here, but I'd imagine we'd have some diversity in not only race but also SES.</p>

<p>the average sat score/act score/etc?
I'm from the old school so I'd say 1350 for SAT (adjust that for the new one) and 28 or 29 for ACT.</p>

<p>what clubs would there be?
Almost everything, from debate team and student government to language clubs and band/chorus.</p>

<p>how many sports and what kind of sports?
This too would be pretty wide but we'd have to include the classic sports such as baseball, football, basketball (for both girls and guys and if I have any say, also co-ed), soccer (also for both), softball, volleyball, tennis and swimming. We'd have to make sure there would be an ultimate frisbee team.</p>

<p>how many competitions would list "college confidential" as the high school of someone who has achieved recognition?
Probably a good deal. There seem to be some competitive and bright students on here.</p>

<p>what would happen to the ap classes of the school?
If I had my say, they'd exist but not be weighted.</p>

<p>how much math would be offered?
Everything from remedial pre-algebra through Calc BC plus stats and problem solving (both of which were math electives at my high school).</p>

<p>how large would the library be?
It would be about as large as a gymnasium, maybe bigger, and also have a computer lab attached with 25+ machines. Again, we had one like that at my high school.</p>

<p>what would be the school cliches that would form?
You'd have your typical preps, jocks, nerds, emo kids, band dorks, etc. But I also feel that you'd have subcategories of each--those who obsess about SAT/ACT/getting into college and those who don't. Maybe that would even be its own category.</p>

<p>how would it rank on newsweek rankings?
I don't read Newsweek so I'm not 100% sure how it works but it would probably rank pretty high.</p>

<p>and what of colleges/summer programs/competitions that limited too many people from the same school from attending?
Perhaps they'd use a tie-breaker. It could be GPA, a test, lottery, etc.</p>

<p>what would the asb office be doing?
The same as any other ASB. They'd plan things and carry them out on whatever budget they had. Don't forget the NHS could also do this.</p>

<p>what would happen during prom?
Well, for one, I would not be there. As for those who go, I think they'd think of random threads to write about their dating experiences and if they want to know if their date is in love with them or something.</p>

<p>what would be the school's primary problems?
Besides the million kids asking dating questions to the counselors, probably overcompetitiveness on the academic front. Maybe drugs and alcohol, not sure if anyone on here likes to break the law. They were never really an issue at my school but we had our share of crackdowns.</p>

<p>what would happen to the non-AP/non-honors courses?
They'd exist, as would the remedial courses. You have to include every track. I'm sure there are some people on here who could take AP Gov but be in remedial Algebra.</p>

<p>what would YOUR class rank be?
How many are attending? If there's 100 and the courses aren't weighted, maybe about 35. If they're weighted, since I took one honors throughout high school, probably 80. </p>

<p>how would it compare to tj/stuy/ncssm/etc?
Not sure what these are.</p>

<p>how would the sports teams fare?
With so many people focused on academics, I'd say they wouldn't be so hot. But for my fellow athletes on this board, we'd try our best to be competitive. I'd probably play basketball and baseball.</p>

<p>what would be the school song?
"Humanity" by ATB. Just because it's a good song.</p>

<p>school mascot?
If I'm really thinking this board, probably a huge SAT prep guide. I'd prefer Cliffs Notes if I had a say.</p>

<p>what would happen during assemblies? lol
I wouldn't pay attention and neither would half the school, I'm willing to bet.</p>

<p>what percentage of the school would qualify for National Merit?
Too many. Maybe 65%.</p>

13

<p>Can you even IMAGINE what a CC prom would be like? </p>

<p>I'll just leave you with that image.</p>

14

<p>no, it would be cancelled because not enough people bought tickets...</p>

15

<p>average SAT would be like 3000 <.<</p>

16

<p>every single student will form a club because they think it will look good on their apps, so we'll have thousands of clubs that nobody joins.</p>
