Independent study for math: meaningless

<p>If OP feels that I’m a “****ing dumbass,” I have a right to prove him/her wrong.</p>

<p>There were MUCH better ways to handle that.</p>

<p>It’s a generally well-established convention that touting your SAT score is a pretty laughable way of validating your intellectual superiority. Especially here.</p>

<p>^Maybe…</p>

<p>It’s too bad there is a yearly diminishing significance of the SAT’s in college admissions. You know why? It’s not good at predicting college success, which is what the original intention of making the SAT’s was, not to brag about your intelligence.</p>

<p>You can “tout” your scores all you want, but at the end of the day, it’s just a score. Your no better than anyone else.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So…would you like me to brag about my GPA, my EC’s, or something else instead?</p>

<p>No. I would like you not to brag about anything. Keep it to yourself. We don’t care about your scores, activities, GPA, rank, recommendations, etc. Period.</p>

<p>The way you carry yourself and express your ideas conveys more about your competency than your academic statistics ever could.</p>

<p>What’s the point in establishing an image of “competency” at the high school level?</p>

<p>I hereby decree this thread should now be about favorite ice cream flavors instead of debating various posters’ intelligence.</p>

<p>My favorite is cake batter from coldstone.</p>

<p>cookies n cream for me lol</p>

<p>Rainbow sherbet master race here.</p>

<p>Jacobtess, you seem like that annoying kid in every class who gets mediocre grades, yet still thinks he is should be in a higher level course. </p>

<p>Also, most kids graduating from my high school will not have taken anything higher than trig/algebra 2. No one except seniors can take AP Calc, and it’s only AB…</p>

<p>@Mathemagician1 , Lol, not exactly. I’m in the highest course possible in every single subject. Honors Geometry is still the highest for 10th grade, as is Honors everything else…so…And what’s the rate of Ivy acceptances from your school again? Get back to me on that. Much appreciated.</p>

<p>@Jacobtess, Right, how does the Ivy acceptance rate for my rural public high school with ~90 students per grade have anything to do with this topic?</p>

<p>@Hitman: Better stick with vanilla.</p>

<p>No need to be a prick. You don’t need to take calculus as a junior to get into a good school. Most students who get into top schools take calculus as seniors. Take your answer and walk away before more senseless argumentation ensues.</p>

<p>@PioneerJones, ah then, fair enough. I’ll cease my worries. Moving on, I like your transition to “food for thought”. Anybody like Carvel around here?</p>

<p>@Jacobtess- It doesn’t sound like they were “dumb mistakes” so have fun with the sophomores in Calc when you’re a senior</p>

<p>Again…no use crying over stuff you missed… you can’t change it.</p>

<p>Being a senior in calculus is still better than nothing. It all eventually pans out.</p>

<p>@ Totalderiv, what does it sound like then? Good job identifying what you believe is the flaw; propose your opinion of why it was that, instead of merely trying to make me fee bad…and fyi, common human decency is a rudiment to life, and with that attitude, I doubt you have a better shot than I do anywhere.</p>
