<p>April? I'd die. If i don't get in and have to wait til april to hear from other schools....oh, I'd die of stress</p>
<p>i wonder what would happen if every EDer here got deferred.</p>
<p>mass pandamonium spilling out onto the streets</p>
<p>I predict a riot...........btw, good song:)</p>
<p>Stress? Nah, c'mon guys! Forget about it! Don't fret and enjoy your senior year, hang out with your friends, do a foreign exchange program or school trip in february or march without worrying to study for the SAT (forget that combination of letters, even)!
Jan = April = Happy Time! (Then APs, some finals, and then back to FUN!)</p>
<p>When the second derivative of a function at a point is zero or undefined, that indicates a possible point of inflection, correct?</p>
<p>yup.. it's a point of inflexion. however, if you want to go deeped.. it could be an inflexion, min or max pt.. the only way to truly derive the nature of the pt when u get zero for 2nd derivative is to do a sign test of the 1st derivative</p>
<p>ugh...calculus...never my favorite thing. i'm glad it's over ~~</p>
<p>wow....i have no idea what y'all talkin about</p>
<p>anyway, I'd like to say that 2 games into my season, I'm averaging 45 seconds a game. not too shabby for #26, init ;)</p>
<p>Helix, you're a Kaiser Chiefs fan? Yay! I love them.</p>
<p>everyone loves kaiser chiefs.</p>
<p>Is it bad that Penn consumes my thoughts? I have off this week from school and I am going to look at other colleges and everyone is like look at them with an open mind, don't compare them to Penn. But I can't help, I will try and be open, but since I know there is a slight chance that I will get into Penn, I can't even think about another school. </p>
<pre><code>I hate when people tell you that you are definately getting into your ED school. How do they know and how do they have a right to say it? It makes me so mad because people have been telling me I am getting into Penn since like sophomore year. But I am so scared because I just see myself at Penn. Everytime I go there and walk on Locust Walk, I feel tha I really fit in there. I am definately not going to be able to go to school for like three days if I don't get in.
School sucks. I am in AP Statistics and I cannot stand the course. I mean I actually kinda find the material interesting, but my teacher is an ogre. It's like its her job to take off points and give us bad grades. On the last test, I got zero questions wrong and still got a B because of my work. Are you kidding me all my anwers were right that should be at least an A? I'm getting a B in that class and it is seriously dragging down my GPA which is a complete bummer.

<p>Yeah, life sucks right now. All I can do is hope that I get into Penn and then I won't care how much school work I have to do. Just wanted to say good luck to everyone who applied ED, I know I can't stop thinking about it and neither can anyone else. I hope we all get in, that would be amazing.</p>
<p>knows11- i'm taking AP stats too and i agree it totally sucks, my teacher is horrible she just doesn't communicate the material well and then she takes points off for the stupidest things, like last week we had to do one of the response question from a past AP test and i left out and important fact in the first sentence of my answer, but i put it in the next sentence and the teacher said that it was wrong which is stupid if all the right information is there...i took ap stats b/c i thought it would be pretty easy (i'm already taking 4 other APS) i go to private school and our class levels are called phases and they range from 2 -5 (so phase 2 would be the lowest and phase 5 is the highest) all APs except for AP stats are phase 5s. for some reason stats is a 4 so there are alot of kids in there that really shouldn't be taking an AP, so they slow the class down, and the teacher spends more time complaining about how we are never going to finish the course material than actual teaching...ahhhh its frustrating, anyway u might want to get an AP practice book it really helps b/c my text book is pretty confusing (my text book is called the practice of statistics, maybe u are using the same one?)</p>
<p>aww.. ap stat is like the one course i WANT to take (along with ap macro / microeconomics) .. maybe ap art history.. but my school doesnt offer any of them</p>
<p>astrid: kaiser chiefs are sweet:) They kind of remind me of a modern version of the beatles............that's just me. </p>
<p>knows11: I know how you feel about just wanting to go to Penn and no other school. Locust Walk is just amazing! I love seeing the medical students, the professors in the tweed coats, and the diversity of the student body. </p>
<p>I also don't like it when everyone I know tells me I'll get into Penn. My friends, teachers, people I barely know tell me that I'm guaranteed to get into Penn..... but HOW DO YOU KNOW? I so wish they're right, I just don't want them getting my hopes up.</p>
<p>I am also driven crazy by people, especially older family members, who have no clue how much more competitive Penn and other top schools are now, compared to when they went to school.</p>
<p>no cares enough about me to insist that I could go to Penn :(</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>you are TOTALLY going to get into penn.. </p>
<p>if you ever need support..you can lean on me.. now isnt that what CCs all about? well CC's penn subforum at least... you know those pton freaks are all backstabbing obsessed-with-academics weirdos.. </p>
<p>even if i dont get into penn.. i get to keep my hatrid for pton right? its just soo much fun.. plus its in new jersey.. what a wretched excuse for a state (lol sorry to NJ applicants in advance..)</p>
<p>people care enough about me to console me in advance for NOT getting into penn T<em>T <em>sigh</em> at least you guys have support - everyone around me is like "it's a reach, but you should always have reach schools on your list...." -</em>_-"</p>
<p>ugh, dw, you DO NOT want to take AP art history. I'm in it now and it's really tough... a huge amount of material to memorize.</p>
<p>chibia, I wish I had friends like that... everytime I try to talk to my friends about my regular decision schools, they're like, "oh, shut up. you're getting into penn." I'm like, but I want to be prepared with some back-up schools if I don't! <em>sigh</em></p>
