3

<p>you have a fantastic chance!
good luck!</p>

<p>i highly doubt that you are in high school
10th graders take the PPSAT, 11th graders take the PSAT
so why would you as a 9th grader take a the PSAT when you are going to take the SAT
it doesnt make sense.</p>

<p>also you play two/three sports for each season
hockey, basketball, swimming are all in the winter
Lax and baseball are both in the spring.</p>

<p>i hate to call you this and i sincerely hope that you are not and im wrong but i think you are a ■■■■■.</p>

5

<p>Hoc: I’m in 9th grade now, and I took the PSAT through my school (all freshmen take it). As for the SAT’s, I took them through the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth Program. And spots wise, I had said that I swam for my country club in the summer, not Winter. And hockey and basketball are the two sports in which I am playing now (it is manageable because hockey, sometimes even 10 30 at night, is later whereas basketball is right after school, which gives me a couple of hours to do my homework. Care to take back that comment?</p>

6

<p>Oh, and I no longer play baseball. What I am trying to get across in that list is the multiple sports I have played / tried in middle and high school</p>

7

<p>wow if ur not ■■■■■■■■ u just shot down my hope and dreams. lol ppl tell me i have awesome stats… i guess that means u have godly stats</p>

<p>ps- ur title sounds a little corny/desperate</p>

8

<p>wow dont chance him</p>

9

<p>triple a hockey and basketball? never heard of that before.</p>

10

<p>y did u tell him not 2 chance me lax?</p>

11

<p>I just saw this</p>

<p>GPA: w 4.35 uw 4.0
SSAT: 96 %
SAT: 2300
PSAT: 219
Sat II: Math II 760, World History 750
ACT: 33</p>

<p>PSAT an Sat 2’s and SAT ACT scores-- there is no way ur a freshmen
I’m really really sorry. I think ur a ■■■■■ or a genius. litereally a genius</p>

<p>my sister who is currently at Yale scored a 2240 her freshmen year, and that was enough ot gain state news. Her PSAT was 225 her soph year, and she is legit a genius.</p>

12

<p>I’m nowhere close to being considered a “genius.” I’m just a really hard worker (honestly, I have literally no down time ever; not even in the summer). But thanks for the comments… anyone else have any tips?</p>

13

<p>■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■</p>

14

<p>and why are you applying as a repeat?</p>

<p>vienna mustangs were never ranked that high, and if you play AAA hockey there is no way you have time to play travel baseball in the fall, lacrosse and baseball in the spring etc. You can do school sport (ie basketball) but why would you not play hockey if you are so good?</p>

<p>agreed some of these stats/ECs are impossible.</p>

15

<p>I agree, perfect gpa and perfect test scores as a freshmen repeating/sports</p>

<p>this is all too insane</p>

16

<p>hello there ■■■■■</p>

17

<p>just saying…
i took the sat in 7th grade and the psat in 8th grade and again last semesterr, there isn’t an age or grade limit on taking these tests
and i know kids my age who have gotten those kinds of scores, their just extremely smart
so either ur a genius with a great chance or a ■■■■■
and just because he’s perfect doesn’t mean he should dash ur hopes, he’s one person out of thousands, and u have great stats urself
also i know multiple people who do more than one sport a season all year, needless to say above mentioned people have no life
so if ur not a ■■■■■, good luck and u have a great chance :smiley:
also ur title is way to desperate</p>

18

<p>Hoping better be my lawyer someday…or we could start a firm together!!! You are wicked crafty with words!</p>

19

<p>Thanks Hoping… I mean whatever if you don’t believe me… lets talk when the admission letters come along.</p>
