<p>What’s your SAT/rank? If you’re a real person, then that’s really impressive haha!</p>

3

<p>I smell ■■■■■ possibility - 1 post, over the world stats and ECs.</p>

<p>26 APs, speaks half a dozen languages, president and captain of a dozen clubs.</p>

<p>And how can one get a PhD without getting undergraduate and graduate degrees first?</p>

4

<p>He never said HE got a PhD, but suceeded one.</p>

<p>I’m surprised you can take AP’s as a freshman/sophmore.</p>

<p>Anyway you’re a pretty typical canidate for HYPS with this. Write good essays I guess. Probably well in reach at Cornell</p>

5

<p>How can you take Ap’s at your school in freshmen? That’s really good if you did. Even in my school, they don’t offer maybe 1 0r 2, but that’s it.</p>

6

<p>Emphasize the air guitar skill–otherwise you’re doomed.</p>

7

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed. (10char)</p>

8

<p>I also agree with swimstar and quilll. I think the admission paper will throw you out of how extra is your transcript…lol.</p>

9

<p>WOW. if you’re real then…you’re so amazing and smart for accomplishing all of this!</p>

<p>Amazing transcript & ECs :slight_smile: I wonder how you managed to take so many APs ur freshman year??!</p>

<p>we need to know your SAT! if it’s just as high then you have a good shot everywhere!</p>

<p>If you’re a ■■■■■…yeah.</p>

10

<p>This is most certainly a ■■■■■, guys. And a bad one at that.</p>

11

<p>I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I have met kids who have taken numerous APs as a freshman. The only thing I was skeptical was the languages, but then again, my cousin took four AP Languages during high school and got a 3-5 on all of them. </p>

<p>You have a very good
shot. Your stats are pretty good. I’m not sure about those grades, though. That A- could really kill you. </p>

<p>Why do you guys think he is a ■■■■■? I thought maybe because of the languages, but I think it’s possible.</p>

12

<p>When spotting ■■■■■■, you need to look out for the little things. I can’t think of a high school that doesn’t require four years of English; it’s generally a school district policy. This schedule just isn’t possible.</p>

<p>And that’s in addition to the numerous other signs that this is obviously fake.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, you HAVE to take 4 years of English and there is no AP English Comp for your freshman year, it’s a junior class… This doesn’t seem right.</p>

14

<p>I assure you that I am not a ■■■■■. If you want, I can explain my ECs. I worked as at a real estate firm for my sophomore summer (last year), because I want to be in real estate when I grow up.</p>

<p>Varsity Basketball and Water Polo were really easy, as there are actually no JV teams (our school isn’t particularly strong in sports). However, I am state ranked in Volleyball. Not in the top 10, but the Top 100. There are so many volleyball players in CA that I thought it would be impressive.</p>

<p>About my SATs… They, unfortunately, aren’t THAT strong.</p>

<p>At my school, you go straight on from Algebra II to Calculus I (or AP Calculus AB). I was in Geometry in 8th grade, and took Alg. II over the summer.</p>

<p>SAT as Sophomore (May 2010):
-Math: 710
-Writing: 760
-Critical Reading: 670
Total: 2140/2400</p>

<p>SAT Biology: 780
SAT Literature: 700
SAT Chinese: 800
SAT Spanish: 710</p>

<p>Rank is 1, and kind of by a long shot. At my school, there are no limitations in what AP courses you take and when. I was told in middle school to get done with APs early, so I tried to do as many as I could before senior year.</p>

15

<p>I go to a private school. We only require 3 years of English, but four years of social studies. The three classes for English are AP Lang, AP Lit, and Journalism.</p>

<p>Why won’t you trust me? I give you my word and promise that these are my actual statistics. I understand that most public schools require 4 years of English, but I go to a private school here in Southern California.</p>

16

<p>But I thought you had to complete 4 years of English, you only have 2. If you have to, maybe let go an AP class and take regular English or something. I do not think you can even graduate with 2 english classes.</p>

17

<p>Oh, okay. See at my school we HAVE to take English all four years, math 3 years, science 3 years, and social studies for 3 years. Recommended to do all 4 years.</p>

18

<p>So do tell me - if you’re going into your junior year, how do you know your AP scores already? (:</p>

19

<p>Well, to be fair he did not put his Junior year AP scores. It does seem like a course-load to take 26 AP, though.</p>

20

<p>Yes - he’s going into his junior year. He already has his sophomore scores.</p>
