<p>I know this is mean, but I just can't take not saying anything anymore. Omar - I hate people like you.</p>
<p>This system is *<strong><em>ed up when it lets somebody who sleeps through class and can't even get a five on an AP test grab a 4.0 GPA, and even more *</em></strong>ed up when the AP score isn't taken into much consideration at all next to the GPA.</p>
<p>With so many schools, and so many extenuating circumstances, and thus the increased impossibility of a grade from one teacher in Oregon meaning the same thing as that grade from one in Texas or even across the hallway from her classroom, I cannot contain my anger at how lazy people who don't even bother to learn everything they can about a subject (ie getting a 3 on an AP) get into good colleges because of meaningless numbers like GPAs that don't even show any real level of competency.</p>
<p>I'm sorry that I hate you. It's not even your fault, it's the way college admissions works in this country. But I do.</p>
