<p>Your GPA is VERY LOW compared to the applicants at every university listed. 2.8-3.2 won't get you into a top 50 school. You aren't getting A's in your academic classes.</p>
<p>I could easily see you getting rejected from every school you listed with the stats you have given. 4 C's, 2 D's, and an F, will kill your application. Grades always have been, and are the #1 factor in all admissions process.</p>
<p>Getting a perfect score on the SAT, and then pulling off D's, C's, and B's in courses shows laziness. That is what colleges will see you as when they look at your transcript and your test scores. They won't perceive you as a hard working student.</p>
<p>Solid grades can make up for poor test scores, but it doesn't work vise-versa. Only to a minimal extent. And your grades will get you rejected from most of the colleges you listed.</p>
<p>I can't imagine such a conspicious lack of respect of American History would warrant an admission to any US university...though perhaps North Korea?</p>
<p>Where on my forehead does it say I disrespect American History? According to you, anyone who fails the course is considered unfit to even apply to a college. </p>
<p>Btw, why are you even advocating respect when you clearly can't even respect another country....</p>
<p>lol sucka just got owned..
anyways, you pulled off an 800 in math with only geometry under your belt? well, you're a bright kid, and I'm sure you'll do well anywhere after college IF YOU STOP SLACKING!! :)</p>
<p>Well, I would argue that your three, or in the case of the UC system two, years in HS is your pre-college trial run...you fail a class, then of course you still have a chance of attending college, you just need to prove so through a stint in a community college.</p>
<p>As for you disrespecting US History...you have an 800 verbal score, and you couldn't pass a history class? So in otherwords you didn't read the history...why? To me that is a clear sign of a lack of respect for alot of things, history being just one. This lack of respect is also known as "immaturity". What am I getting at? You are obviously an extremely immature genius, and wouldm judging by your recomrd drop out/get arrested if you were to be put out into the world. Now, is this true? I have no idea who the real you is, maybe you really did just "slack off", but I, as well as the college adcom, have nothing else to go on but your dismal record.</p>
<p>Just my two cents...coming from someone who has also been known to slack off.</p>
<p>Edit: Oh and about me not having respect for another country. No, I do not have respect for North Korea, would you care telling me why I should? Oh, and one more thing, if you did actually "slack off", why did you do so well in the EC's? You had the dilligence to spend 100's of hours doing stereotypical smart "asian" things, but couldn't find the time to do school work...the entire situation seems absurd. Thinking more about it, you probally aren't a genius...how many hours did you obessively study to get the scores you did? It seems as if you obsessed over every detail of the college admissions except for your actual schooling...I can't be the only one whose mind is ready to explode analyzing Mr. Vehement.</p>
<p>Yes I realize I have done nothing but ramble, but my overall point is this...the former posters are I believe possibly incorrect. My assertion is that Vehement is not lazy and intelligent, but instead lazy and average...and attempting to present himself as "genius". It is my firm belief that anyone with enough time on their hands, and an above average, though nowhere near gifted IQ can achieve high standardized test scores with the proper coaching, be it self-taught or tutored.</p>
<p>Well sucka, if you put it that way, it does sound less intrusive.</p>
<p>To answer your first point...I don't disrespect us history. in fact i kinda find it elss annoying in school than the other courses. but somehow the teacher i met in that class is different from the rest; she only counted tests as 20% of the grade...u can imagine the rest. if i hate us history, i wouldn't be taking sat 2 us history would i?</p>
<p>and to ur second point, i don't think US deserves auto respect while 3rd world countires like korea should be looked upon on. yes north korea does violate human rights, yes they are communists but there are more to it in a country than its government.....</p>
<p>to ur edit, and u know i actually spent 450 hours working because? and oh trust me..i am no genius....haha nor do i wish to be one.....certainly don think geniuses are actually that happy irl.</p>
<p>and oh yep of course i studied for the sat but i studied on techniques rather than working diligently for it and like sucka said, any above average person can do it as well altho i don't think it requires that much time at all..u just need to know what to study...</p>
<p>reading a book and memorizing vocabs may help as well but i don't really like to do that myself nor do if i have that much paitence, it makes no sense for me to not do my hoework..does it?</p>
<p>best words to describe me? a lazy average person who gets by through shortcuts...and i am sure a diligent and average person like yourself sucka, really hates the likes of me as u have already presented in ur posts...</p>
