SAT II Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University
1

<p>So, I was wondering. I took more than the recommended number of SAT II's. I want my colleges to see all of them.
Here they are:
Math II - 800
Chemistry - 800
Physics - 800
Biology M - 800
Biology E - 800 (I wanted to show that I would be a good doctor)
History - 800
Latin - 800
Modern Hebrew - 790 (Hence my name)</p>

<p>(I didn't take literature. It's not as rigorous as Latin)</p>

<p>Can I send all of these scores? I do believe that Harvard has a particularly strong predilection to people who can comprehend and compose Latin in addition to being well-rounded people.</p>

<p>Also, I want to major in math, economics, and pre-med at the same time. How would I go about doing this?</p>

<p>Harvard does not have a “pre-med” program. Many who major in biology or chemistry do apply to med school, but med schools admit applicants from all majors.</p>

<p>You can choose economics at Harvard, but declare math as a “secondary field”, or visa versa. Then, you can apply to med school as one of those majors.</p>

<p>This little bouquet of clowning nonsense should throw the red flag. It’s blatantly designed to provoke incredulity (a “■■■■■” post). Don’t respond to it.</p>

<p>@mifune: Hardly. I do admit that my first post at College Confidential was intended to imbibe some of the humor that I feel is profoundly lacking at college discussion boards. However, I would like to maintain your insinuation that I am a “■■■■■” is insulting and quite frankly, representative of the presumptuousness that permeates much of this website. To rephrase in a manner that is more understandable for people like you, I am very interested in the sciences and in languages, hence my SAT II’s and my desperation to learn as much as I possibly can during my high school years. Due to my varied interests, however, I am not really sure of my major. If you possessed an inkling of the humor which I believe every normal human being is born with, you surely would have understood these implications.</p>

<p>@fauve: Thank you. What about all of my SAT II’s? Will Harvard accept them all?</p>

<p>This coming from someone who designed a username out of intense displeasure for a (purported) 790 on a Subject Test? Moreover, is it not rather presumptuous to unnecessarily and implicitly boast of one’s (supposed) attainment of 800 on six additional tests simply to set up the question of whether it’s conceivable to submit more than two or three? (Not to mention your rather patronizing remark, “To rephrase in a manner that is more understandable for people like you…”)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No, nothing in your first post was designed to give the slightest overtone of humor. It was exclusively constructed to inspire incredulous responses. Your post count, username, and comments do not give the slightest impression that you are a legitimate poster.</p>

<p>so was this legit?</p>

<p>Hmm…where to start? Decisions decisions…</p>

<p>“This coming from someone who designed a username out of intense displeasure for a (purported) 790 on a Subject Test?”: What part, the humor part or the presumptuousness part? I’ll assume you meant the former, in which case I will respond by saying that your comment emphasizes the fact that you have no sense of humor.</p>

<p>“Moreover, is it not rather presumptuous to unnecessarily and implicitly boast of one’s (supposed) attainment of 800 on six additional tests simply to set up the question of whether it’s conceivable to submit more than two or three?”: Well, yes, as a matter of fact. Yet at the same time, expressing my hypocrisy was not really the purpose of that particular portion of the post. Rather, it was intended to imitate the vast majority of users of this site, most of whom would behave in a similar manner if it were not for the fact that they don’t actually have the scores to back them up. Yes, presumptuousness is oozing through my words here, but this is a direct result of your antagonism, because previously, I intended that to be a blow to the self-esteem of those who insist that their achievements on standardized testing make them better human beings than others. As one of my friends once said, “An 800 is not a measure of self-worth.”</p>

<p>“(Not to mention your rather patronizing remark, “To rephrase in a manner that is more understandable for people like you…”)”: I believe that the purpose of that remark was for it to be patronizing. It was not unintentional. :D</p>

<p>"No, nothing in your first post was designed to give the slightest overtone of humor. It was exclusively constructed to inspire incredulous responses. ": Umm…I believe we’ve been over the part where you don’t have a sense of humor. This comment is void.</p>

<p>“Your post count”: I SAID THAT I WAS A NEW USER, by stating that “I do admit that my first post at College Confidential…”. I actually joined this site to gain information on several points, one of which is the subject of this thread, but it hasn’t really been going all that great so far.</p>

<p>“username”: HUMOR, mifune. Humor. Here, let me help: [Humor</a> - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary](<a href=“http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/humor]Humor”>Humor Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster)</p>

<p>“and comments”: Direct response to your cynicism, so I am justified</p>

<p>“do not give the slightest impression that you are a legitimate poster.”: So, you’re saying that my asking of a legitimate question is not indicative of me being a “legitimate poster”? Cool. It’s nice to know someone’s using logic here.</p>

<p>Anyway, I really have no intention of continuing this argument with some stranger who is as likely to be a 40-year-old man living in his aunt’s basement than an actual high school senior. I wouldn’t mind getting my question answered, but at this rate, it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen. If, however, someone IS willing to answer, it would be very much appreciated. And yes, plato1, this was “legit”, though I don’t know how that term would work regarding mifune’s comments.</p>

<p>If this is real, which I will give you the benefit of the doubt for, (and if it is real I am very envious) you may not be able to send them through the common application as far as I know, just send the three that were the most rigorous.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No, I meant “presumptuousness.” You lament an impression of pervasive insolence on this website yet create a username out of “hate” for a subject in which you supposedly achieved a 790 on a Subject Test? Then you implicitly boast about your purported scores and proceed with a parenthetical about your decision not to take an additional test because you perceived its content to be below your level? Moreover, you’ve read two of my posts (and quite shortly, a third) on an anonymous public message board and you proceed to make personality judgments? </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You, on the other hand, seem emphatically pleased to admit that you are rather hypocritical, impudent, and condescending.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is a rather silly assertion. How is reading your original post going to be a “blow to the self-esteem” of those who believe in their inherent superiority from standardized testing results?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Additional condescension and pointless character assessment.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Another conceited, condescending remark.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I was referring to the “little bouquet of clowning nonsense” from your original post in addition to your almost uniformly patently infantile statements.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is a straw-man assertion that I’m not even going to bother responding to.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What a asinine little gibe. I’m a student here and other members on this website can substantiate that. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Aside from this being yet another cutting remark to polish off your set of self-congratulatory assertions in #7, I don’t believe many other individuals would invest their best confidence in your legitimacy either.</p>

<p>dear OP, please look up the definition of the word “■■■■■”. in addition, there was nothing particularly humorous in either your username or your original post. if you consider that funny, you must have a pretty lame sense of humor.</p>

<p>to answer your original questions:</p>

<p>“Can I send all of these scores? I do believe that Harvard has a particularly strong predilection to people who can comprehend and compose Latin in addition to being well-rounded people.”</p>

<p>I don’t know what kind of predilection harvard has for what kind of people, but those are good scores and so you should send them. however, harvard may have restrictions on how long ago the satIIs were taken. since you’re 30 years old, and claim yourself to be a legitimate poster, you may want to check to see your satIIs are still legitimate. did satIIs exist back in those days? </p>

<p>also, it’s amazing how you managed to take mathII back in those days. did you time travel, or did you sat in a high school classroom to take a satII as a thirty year old? you must be so very dedicated.</p>

<p>“Also, I want to major in math, economics, and pre-med at the same time. How would I go about doing this?”</p>

<p>you can’t major in all of these at the same time. pre-med is not a major, and you can’t double major. however, you can either complete a secondary field like what fauve said, or apply for a “joint concentration”.</p>

11

<p>Obvious ■■■■■ is obvious</p>

12

<p>Um, just send whatever scores are best for your major/accompany your app.
Like, if you do a lot of math already, don’t send it.
Send bio/some language instead.
And no, you can’t send all of them. Though you seem to be ■■■■■■■■, so meh.</p>

13

<p>It’s not a ■■■■■, it’s a dumbass.</p>

14

<p>HAHA you want to major in math, economics, and pre-med at the SAME time? that is hilarious.</p>
