SCEA Applicants

<p>Hmm... I go the rescinded EA route. I know it sounds shallow, but I get the feeling that some people in my school live vicariously through me. </p>

<p>When I wrote the SATs and IIs, I got like a 50 people ask me how I did... on the day they came out.</p>

<p>Don't you just love that?? </p>

<p>In my sophomore year, I decided to start telling people that I got lower scores and grades than I actually got just so they would leave me alone.</p>

<p>It sucks when you actually do badly... and people can be downright cruel.</p>

<p>yea-- lindsey- haha that's a good idea. i'm sick of being referred to as "the smart one." DUDE- EVERYONE IS SMART, BUT ONLY SOME PEOPLE APPLY THEMSELVES. it's that simple.</p>

<p>yea but its great when you do 100 points better than them on every test and they still bash your scores.
psh, 760, you can do much better!</p>

<p>haha, I've gotten that... 1550... where'd the other 50 points go?</p>

<p>Yeah, if you just put on a semi-disappointed face and say you got a 1240, they'll at least save the comments for behind your back.</p>

<p>Also, if you tell different people you got different scores, you'll find out who's talking about you.</p>

<p>If you tell person A you got a 1270 and person B you got a 1310, when someone comes up to you and says 'I heard you got ____', you'll know who's doing the talking. </p>

<p>It can be a pretty fun game.</p>

<p>I've actually done that once... and it was funny to see two kids argue over what they thought I got in a test. They finally came up to me, asking me to resolve the dispute</p>

<p>Haha, awesome.</p>

<p>Why do they possibly care so much??</p>

<p>I really don't know....................................................................</p>

<p>they're just jealous :)</p>

<p>I didn't tell anyone my SAT scores. I was planning to keep where I was applying a secret but it got out in a variety of ways (ppl saw my forms in guidance/on the teachers' desks/ the one person I told I was applying to Yale told people). In the end it doesn't matter b/c everyone knows I applied somewhere early, and if I'm not wearing a sweatshirt or ecstatic around mid-December, they know I didn't get in, regardless of which school rejected/deferred me.</p>

<p>i did that and it was SOOO funny.</p>

<p>not a fan of telling scores. I only tell close friends. it's not that big of a dela to us, since we all have similar test scores anyway.... speaking of test scores, I've ehard a lot of stupid things that don't need to be mentioned, but I was thinking about them so I decided to blab about it anyway. I'm off track now, so I'll shut up. ::tapes mouth while everyone makes confused face::</p>

<p>i really like lindsey's idea!</p>

<p>honestly, i don't even care about scores so much. but i have to tell you, when we all took SATs and my twin brother scored perfectly and I got a 1450, i was asked by multiple people "why aren't you as smart as your brother?"</p>

<p>Where's your brother applying?</p>

<p>he's applying to harvard ea and yale, mit, princeton, and berkeley rd.</p>

<p>Oh my God! Thats awful! As if a 1450 isn't excellent? Don't listen to them.</p>
