<p>I was an intel/siemens semifinalist and yes I have considerning I had one of the highest grades in calc 3 last semester. Uh...ok. Considering you know nothing about me, continue to make these generalized statements. Wow..I just realized how much of a moron you are. I earned a MERIT (Hodson)scholarship from Hopkins without any of that locational BS that is your scholarship and had plenty of admissions from other good schools. I don't like to gloat about any of my accomplishments but considering you know nothing about me, I doubt you should start talking. And what about getting into BME without applying? You admitted you got in accidentally. Go ahead and do BME. With your attitude, I don't expect you to be able to handle it.</p>
<p>haha and what kind of attitude do you have? you're such a hypocrite, you know nothign about me or anyone else in baltimore city that you claim to be "the best the city has to offer." so if you know that my statements are generalized and arent true, then your statements about baltimore city aren't true either, and you're STILL not the best the country has to offer. hah dont use my word, think of your own word, MORON! god i hope that not everyone at hopkins is like you. you dont like to "brag" about your accomplishments, but you do like to put down other people dont you? once again...find something better to do with your time as an undergrad at hopkins, maybe they dont give you enough work.</p>
<p>whew....harsh words. I dont like the implication that everyone except you "buys" their grades. thats the most ridiculous accusation i have ever heard. it really shows how ignorant you are of the work that other people put into their work. i mean, come on...you don't really think that you are the only one who works hard and has similiar credentials do you?</p>
<p>anyway, i remember arguing with you over something before too, and obviously you and i have different views, you're not worth my time ...so why dont we just give up and stop here okay? as long as you do your research before you start grouping thousands of students together as if you know what you're talking about, because you obviously DON'T.</p>
<p>Break it up boys. </p>
<p>You're both vastly intelligent people based on your credentials, which speak for themselves. Yu're both guaranteed a spot in the best universities in the nation, and I applaud you for your incredibly hard work and committment to doing well. </p>
<p>However, please, stop being so aggressive and defensive. You don't need to trump your various honors to the world. And please remember that college is not the end of the road...it's merely the beginning. I've done all right in my four years, not anything near your respective calibers, but I've enjoyed my four years. </p>
<p>My greatest accomplishments, I believe, are the knowledge of myself, the ability to delay gratification, the ability to stay up all night and be cheerful in the morning, appreciation for my family, and the inclination to type everything using proper grammar, spelling, and formatting. </p>
<p>Relax, no one thinks less of you if you reveal some weaknesses or walk away from conflict. It's rather deflating to type a lot onto an unvisited thread.</p>
<p>The fact of the matter is i know alot of your qualifications from your annoying past posts. No need to brag about subpar stats or qualifications.</p>
<p>subpar? hm...</p>
<p>subpar is as subpar does. I'm happy with them.</p>
<p>haha i'm not bragging, those were mostly things about my CLASSMATES, not me. i never said that i did those things, and even if i did, you found that out somewhere else, not from what i said here. i mentioned them so that you (and others) know that balto students aren't all bad and many of us are better than most of you, so you'd shut up and stop saying this and that about "balto students this balto students that." once again, I DIDNT SAY THAT I'M BETTER, i'm saying that WE (as a whole) aren't as bad as you think. </p>
<p>actually, john you're just picking on me because of what i said about jhu before, this doesnt have anything to do with balto students to you, its more about you against me, which is pathetic becuase this is just an online forum and you're taking things way too personal. :/ i think that you need to chill out justtttttttt a lil bit.</p>
<p>You claimed that you (as a group) were the best the nation had to offer which is a very dubious assertion. Harrison is the only one in the group that can claim such a distinction. I need to chill?...ok, as soon as you stop your BS posts. Im here to right the wrongs presented in various posts. Er...about you? I could give a **** about you. Read my original posts in this thread, I only rebutted by saying among the group Harrison was the most deserving. I didn't single you out from the beginning.</p>
<p>I'm sorry if I didn't make this clear in my last message, but would you two please stop using this thread as your personal battle ground? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>There's a feature that allows you to send personal messages. Or you two could IM each other and reserve your hostilities in a proper setting, not aired in public where it irritates other people and clutters up space on a thread.</p>
<p>haha i never said that I was the best the nation has to offer, i just gave harrison as an example because you said that we're prob the best that baltimore city has to offer. hah and why are u cursing? is it that serious? lol in fact, you DID singled me out from the beginning, because you said that you said that harrison may be the best, but i'm not.you could of said that the other 3 weren't the best the nation can offer. haha you need to THINK before you type sht so that you wont go back and change what you say in every post afterwards.</p>
<p>and that kid is right, i'm not going to keep arguing with some hypocritical person that thinks you know everything when you couldn't even make up your mind about what you're trying to say. if you have a problem, my aim is right there, if not, shut up.</p>
<p>The fact of the matter is its not personal so therefore i will not contact you through AIM or through personal messages. You are the one that made it personal. Yes I said you are not one of the best in the nation among the group and instantaneously you took it personally. Thats not singling you out. I did not call you out in any case but rather clarified your statement proclaiming you were one of the best. Im tired of your arrogant BS. You've already offended half the posters with your "buying grades" BS. Whatever. have fun at Hopkins</p>
<p>Please!! Can the admin please delete this pointless thread</p>
<p>wow that's hilarious... for one thing, nguyent, bpi is the best the city has to offer public school-wise ... no other baltimore city schools... for another thing johnkgh... you don't know our stats so don't judge us because we're from the city.</p>
<p>oh and by the way, harrison isn't the best the city has to offer.... I know this from personal experience.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bpi.edu/news/scripts/news_detail.asp?LinkID=503&DivID=4%5B/url%5D">http://www.bpi.edu/news/scripts/news_detail.asp?LinkID=503&DivID=4</a> , First since 1958, now thats impressive. I'm sure you are alot better than him/other city kids.</p>
<p>I beat him at Science Fair last year!</p>
<p>I... got second place!</p>
<p>and ... nah my math project isn't important...</p>
<p>seems like some people on this thread are really getting others wrong... lemme just say i got in to BME by getting good grades, standardized test scores, working my @$$ off, etc etc... in the end the stupid school (JHU) and the gov still think that my middle class family can pretty much pay my entire tuition. so while real rich kids parents can actually pay for their tuition, and poor kids get scholarship/aid/grants families like mine will have to scrounge around for the money to pay for me to go to the top school in my major. The american eduational system works such that middle class families are always at the losing end so i want to hear a lot less bit*hing by people on this thread... A LOT LESS</p>
