<p>Man, I'm getting jealous of some peoples' grades, and SAT scores. Is this normal? Am I an evil, malevolent person? sigh.. I don't know if this is a reaction all of you guys are getting too?</p>
<p>anyone here feel me on this?</p>
<p>Even though I could probably be considered one of the nuts with grades/sat's here, when I first found cc I had a bit of insecurity issues...
I left for a few months, and then got over this.</p>
<p>Besides, all of these lunatics who want to retake 790's deserve to be beaten upside the head.</p>
<p>There are always gonna be people who are "better" than you in some areas... and there are always going to be areas in which you shine, and others envy you. This isn't applicable only to CC, or even high school, or even school in general -- this is life.</p>
<p>Well said, Poseur.</p>
<p>That's why I try to avoid the "Chance Me" area and just focus on myself. Plus, I've learned that different schools weigh grades differently. I mean, I just can't see someone who's getting 100%s on every subject in his/her school doing that in my school.</p>
<p>Umm, have you considered that some people on here just lie about their grades and test scores?</p>
<p>Could be.</p>
<p>I'd say that those with more than 500 posts are more dependable, but then I'd be wrong.</p>
<p>I get skeptical when people cross the magic number of 2300, or are asking if they can get to a non HYPSM school with a 2300 and a 4.5 GPA.</p>
<p>I don't have any test scores yet so I just browse and ask questions related to where I see myself in the future. By the end of next year I'll have a better idea if I can actually make it big! But I have noticed in some cases that the ones with the amazing "chance me" threads don't have that many posts and aren't known throughout the forum as dependable, knowledgeable people.</p>
<p>I don't have any test scores yet either, lmao.</p>
<p>Just work at your own pace, man, you'll be fine...chill.</p>
<p>I admit sometimes I get WoW'd (this word goes both ways) by some of the people in here with perfect GPA/SAT and EC's and stuff, but w/e. I'm pretty lucky I accidentally stumbled on here and realized that I've been pretty much wasting my life with 7 hours of games every single schoolday and more on weekends (games are awesome, I'll still play like 3 hours daily, but 7 is too much on schooldays, methinks). </p>
<p>Basically this summer's the last I'll actually be playing all day and waking up at 1pm. I'll have to at least semi-try starting on...</p>
<p>(btw artofmind LMFAO at you're malevolent..)</p>
<p>Being jealous doesn't mean you're evil. Making those who score higher than you suffer by constanly harassing them is evil. 0:)</p>
<p>Invoyable has a point. CC made me realize how much time I was wasting and how I needed to get my life on track.</p>
