What if CC was one huge highschool?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>-Majority of the students are trying to get into an ivy school.
-2000 on the SAT is considered to be a score of a delinquent.
-A lot of kids take like 7 AP classes in a year.
-A guidance counselor knows anything about ivies and CC's Top Colleges, but not so familiar with anywhere else like a regular state college.
-"BUMP" is a key word to bring up the topic you have discussed in the past.
-Your AP teacher is really familiar with the prep books.</p>

<p>I would never go there.</p>

3

<p>Neither would I. The level of hatred would run way too high for me to be comfortable. I like standing out in my nice, "normal" high school. >: D</p>

4

<p>high school's not high school w/o the stupid people- it makes us smart kids feel better about our low SAT scores of 2300</p>

5

<p>It would be so cut-throat and competitive I don't think most kids would survive.</p>

6

<p>Then I would be expelled because of incompetency.</p>

7

<p>I would go there in a heartbeat. I currently attend a school that is the COMPLETE opposite, and of the two poles, I'd choose the one where I'd be in the top 75% over easily the valedictorian.
To give you an idea of where I go, our valedictorian for the class of '06 is going to Columbia University (no, not MU-Columbia... just Columbia in MO...). I don't have ANY AP classes, probably only 25% of the students will go on to college, and only 15% actually care which one they get into.
Without trying, you can be the top in every class you have, maintane a VERY easy good gpa (at least a 3.7 UW), and outscore nearly everybody in either the ACT or SAT.</p>

<p>Granted, I'd prefer a school that's in the middle, but if you'd have to have either uber-competative or ridiculously easy, which would YOU choose?</p>

8

<p>I'd probably cry every day.</p>

<p>Just kidding. I'd totally own you kids. All of you.</p>

9

<p>I wouldn't go there, but I'd stay outside and steal all your lunch money</p>

10

<p>It would be ridiculously wonderful. My school is a little bit similar, ie my SAT (2320) is low for my group, but it also promotes individual drive, ie i am taking it again, whereas at another school I probably wouldn't. I don't know if that makes sense, but to me competition really helps.</p>

11

<p>It would be pretttttty boring, I think..</p>

<p>Wonder who'd be the valedictorian? ;)</p>

12

<p>I think the school would be pretty gay.</p>

<p>it would definetly suck at athletics!!!! and be one giant nerd school* </p>

<p>*everyone sucking up to the teachers</p>

13

<p>EWwwwwww.... All the nerds (everyone) will brag about their GPA/IQ/grades/SAT score/colleges 24/7. And there would be nobody to beat them up when they do so.</p>

14

<p>Leah, I would be valedictorian, without question!</p>

15

<p>no sorry... I would be valdedictorian</p>

16

<p>I think I would completely stop caring about school and only care about my sports.</p>

17

<p>randomperson or sagar would definitely own all of you.</p>

18

<p>I'd definitely be the kid who wouldn't graduate because i don't see understand the difference between a 2200 and a 2400 and i don't care if i get an A- as opposed to an A. and i really don't know how to study and i would much rather socialize all day than read a book.</p>

19

<p>I would sell drugs. Considering the high stress levels of the students, I'd say i'd reap some good profits.</p>

20

<p>I'd picture a close friend giving me "study pills" before the night of a test telling me to cram and take it an hour before.</p>
