Using CC lingo in real life =X

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Today at lunch two of my friends and I were talking about college next year, and one of them was like "I'm really sad because I got rejected from the University of Washington" and I said "awwww what were your stats?"</p>

<p>.. and whe was like "my WHATS?" And I was like uhhhh and made an idiot of myself.</p>

<p>Then in class like two hours later a junior was telling me how he was mad because he can't fit AP Stats into his schedule next year, and I said "You can self study it." He looked at me and said "self-study?" and I was like super embarassed and said "yeah, you can learn it on your own" and then he said "right..." and turned away.</p>

<p>Does this ever happen to others?</p>

<p>LMAO finally…somebody who empathizes.
Uh, I was worried about getting into UF and my friend just looks at me and goes, “What are you stats?” so I rattled the class rank, ACT/SAT, ECs, etc. off and she’s like, “Yeah, you’re in the top 75%-ile - you’re good.” But I’ve done that before. Just been like, “What are your stats?” and I get the vacuous O_O look and then…I just feel like an ultracompetitive loser. :stuck_out_tongue: I do that with lower classmen too hehe.</p>

<p>I thought you’d gone forever. You made some epic threads.
I don’t suppose you would remember me
But I used to necro you back in '63
Its not happened to me yet. Guess I’m still a relative n00b</p>

<p>The class of ‘11 is really competitive. As such, there are like 3 people ranked for first and a bunch of people who come right after #1 in my chem class. They always understand when I constantly want to talk about college. When I advise them about which community college/uni courses to take, what’s easy to self study, how to twist the counselors’ arms, they don’t look at me like I’m crazy. My fellow seniors are all going to OSU and don’t care. I can’t talk to them about this stuff. They’d probably think of sports if I said stats.</p>

<p>^ Then you have REALLY smart classmates because I got rejected from OSU with a 3.9 GPA and 34 ACT.</p>

6

<p>When I mention self-study everyone’s like ***, who would actually do that?</p>

7

<p>^ That’s because no one does. I go to one of the most competitive public high schools in California and I’ve NEVER heard of anyone doing it.</p>

8

<p>^^^We’re all instate though. Almost no one gets rejected, and about half the senior class applies there.</p>

<p>I can’t talk to anybody my year either, but for a different reason. We have some hyper-annoying competitive people in my class, so my friend (who’s like, wicked smart) and I made a pact than we’re not going to discuss stats with each other, or anyone else (yet) and just stay away from all that. Most of the people who I’ve heard “talk cc” seem so stressed out, all the time. </p>

<p>I don’t think I want that.</p>
