<p>moms are so annoying...as evident in this thread...</p>

<p>its like</p>

<p>a mom battle between college-mom and hsmomstef </p>

<p>you guys make my parents seem tolerable,</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks, hsmomstef, for pointing out what a fraud this person actually is! It's definately the "ramblings of a troubled" someone. What makes me mad is that everyone is wasting their time even replying to these make-believe scenarios.</p>

<p>donatejimmyfund, you just tested the patience of a number of people regarding your friend's letter from a music professor, and everyone was polite with you despite your seeming not to read their initial answers. Why are you belittling the same community that gave you help? (BTW I agree with hsmomstef that college-mom is not a real mom but someone yanking our chains.)</p>

24

<p>On the other hand, if we made your parents seem tolerable, that is a good thing.</p>

25

<p>lol thanks neumes, it is a very good thing. </p>

<p>i read the response's to my thread before i made responses to..those responses, but my...responses.. were just clarifying the situation.</p>

<p>i understand your point though, thanks for notifying me of my ironic behavior</p>

26

<p>But you are right, we are annoying! I tell my teenaged sons that being annoying is one of the privileges of parenting.</p>

<p>No way with a 25 ACT.</p>

<p>Anyone who replied to this thread seriously needs to take some serious time to consider their abilitity to read into lies. Would anyone with a 25 on their ACTs even APPLY to an Ivy? Let alone think they could get in? Athletes don't even get that much of a push. A 25??? That barely cuts it at State U @ Hickville let alone an IVY. College-mom: YOU ARE A 'TARD. Stop wasting everyone's time with your made up bullshlt.</p>

<p>^^^ouch, lol... </p>

i know a kid who applied to Harvard (this year) w/ an 1800-something on her SAT (and she thinks she might get in, considering her other stats), so someone applying w/ a 25 ACT isn't outside the realm of possibilty... besides, i think 21 or 22 is the national average, so a score of 25 will make the cut at most (maybe that should be "many," not "most") colleges...</p>

<p>...I think that this is a person who got a 25 on his or her ACT and creates various hypothetical situations involving 25s and Ivies in the hopes of getting some reassurance. XD </p>

<p>Anyways, I'll say it. 25 is definitely a decent score -- it's the 80.09th percentile, which obviously is well above average. I don't think that an 80th percentile score will keep you out of anywhere if you're otherwise exceptional (which Ivy applicants have to be, anyways.)</p>

<p>If you just enjoy hearing people's opinions on hypothetical college situations... hell, don't we all? That's why <em>I</em> read chances threads. :]</p>
