Valuable Lessons Learnt from CC.com

<p>The average SAT score in the United States is 750m 750v , anything less is below average.</p>

<p>A 3.90 is absolutlely frowned upon.</p>

<p>Ivy Leagues, U Californias, NC-Chapel Hill, UVA, UMich are the only schools that exist.</p>

<p>790 on SAT IIs will guarentee you a rejection letter.</p>

<p>The average university goer helps the Red Cross, has a star named after them, had a fundraiser that raised 200,000 for needy kids and is the president of 4 clubs.</p>

<p>Joe-Internet-Poster838 can amazingly tell by your high yet low stats you are a sure match, just to find out next week that you were rejected.</p>

<p>Go to Harvard at all costs, it is the best in the world.</p>

<p>Avoid Harvard at all costs, its very overrated.</p>

<p>Apply to at least 10 universities, anything else and you are playing with fire.</p>

<p>about that last point,</p>

<p>well u if u apply to WHYPS like me, thats a 50% chance of rejection from all my universities right there ;)</p>

<p>hope i'm not jinxing myself.</p>

<p>Haha, agree with 2nd to last and 3rd to last lessons.</p>

<p>bahamasc, I love that post, especially the part about having a star named after yourself. Its true, all bastards have stars named after themselves. Look at sunnicus, he got the biggest one around named after him.
(sunnicus was a marauder who slaughtered a million people a long time ago)</p>

<p>hahah thats a hilarious post
i remember my friend went to the caltech forum and saw some insane stats there.<br>
sigh some chance/decisions threads really made me wonder if ANYONE got less than 800s on sats -_-</p>

<p>Yeah...I definitally agree with this lol. It's soo funny, yeah, this board definitally made me doubt myself.</p>

You forgot stanford, MIT and caltech. ..</p>

<p>Such a true post. Another thing...</p>

<p>Bs are the letter of the devil. And anything less...! Don't make me go there.</p>

<p>lesson part 2.</p>

<p>Everyone LOVES thier college.
Everyone knows a cousin or friend who LOVES thier college.</p>

<p>Everyone dislikes roomates, they are they all seem to play loud music. Everyone LOVES thier roomates, get a double rez.</p>

<p>Meal plan food at colleges tastes like unsalted rubber.
Meal plan food at colleges are the best.</p>

<p>My DD and S got ED'd while someone's DS got EA'd</p>

<p>While anylyzing CC.com (most popular college forum 50k users) it can be concluded that the admission stats for Ivies are wrong. Harvard has a 87% acceptance rate only 2nd to Columbia with a 92% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>UCLA just implemented a floor and cieling on SAT scores. Yup. If you got 1800 this year and a 3.5 you are in. Anything over 4.1 and a 2250 and you got rejected.</p>

<p>It is best to go to a university whose name is "Prestigous named man University"
If not then go to a university whose name is "University of State at
City"
Try to avoid a university whose name is "your state State University"
Avoid like a plague a university whose name is "Someone'sName State University"</p>

CCVETGUY112: "1350, ouch. Well I heard that Virgina State Valley Back of the Bush Community College offers plenty of scholarships"</p>

<p>UniHopeful221: "I have a 3.9 gpa what are my chances"
CCVETGUY112: "Try to push up your gpa by .1 and you may have a chance"</p>

<p>UniHopeful221: "I saved Rose and Jack while directing the movie all in the 1920s"

^hahahahahahahahaha!^</p>

<p>This is hilarious, once i entered this site i thought it would be a learning experience. Later, i learned that all the stats posted on this site make me feel like a dumb***. So, yes this is very true.</p>

<p>^^
Man u think its only u? I bet u still probably have a good score (probably waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than mines). I guess I should have studied or taken classes for the SAT, cuz I didnt at all and my results are very very sub par (at least compared to every single on on the site). </p>

<p>Over here they didnt stress the SAT's importance so I just was like they are testing what I know so I dont have to prep that much.</p>

<p>Not how to spell Learned :D</p>

<p>Learned is American, Learnt is British
(if thats what u mean)</p>

<p>Some other things I learned on CC:</p>

<p>Anything less than the "Top 25" is TTT (third tier trash)
Except, of course, for my school. It's not top 25, but USNews sucks anyway
If you get a C in O-chem, you'll never be a doctor
Only law and medicine count as "graduate school"
Only engineers make good money out of college
The only job worth pursuing outside of medicine, law, and engineering is i-banking. The rest is just TTT.</p>

<p>you'll never ever hear </p>

<p>"I have a 2350, what can I do next to get into Radford University and pursue my life long dream of becoming a rock star?"</p>

<p>or saying you have a 2350 or a 232 on the PSAT as a sophomore without people saying "st f u loser, you have no life, get off this site, i hate people like you"</p>

<p>"If you get a C in O-chem, you'll never be a doctor"</p>

<p>LoLz</p>

<p>Actually, that statement is true according to the majority of doctors I have spoken to. An M.D. was talking to me about the benefits of chemistry and said that the people who did not pass Organic Chemistry with at least a B never made it out of pre-medical school.</p>

<p>sarorah,</p>

<p>I actually know at least two people currently in med school (one at Stanford, one at Roslyn) who got Cs in O-chem.</p>

<p>O-chem is the devil. </p>

<p>And what's "pre-medical school?"</p>

<p>Aw that's pretty cool, maybe they told me that to try and make me work hard or something . . . </p>

<p>and ya know, pre-med/college, 2-4 years before entering medical school?</p>

<p>Ugh, I hate that term because it implies that there is actually a defined "pre-med" track in college. "Pre-med" is nothing more than a BA/BS in whatever field you like, plus some extra science courses.</p>
