-- you know what S and D mean. - Um... Stanford and Duke? Nope. I'm wrong.
-- you are disappointed when you get a 2300. - Never took my SAT yet, but I'm hoping for nothing but the best.
-- you freak out about that one B you got in English. - Well, the B hasn't come yet.
-- you’ve made a chances thread. - I'm only a freshman.
-- you’ve posted in a game thread. - No?
-- you’re adamant about taking six APs in your junior year because five is just not enough. - Yeah, that's the truth.
-- you’ve got one section of the SAT lopsided, so you panic and want to retake because that 700 is incompatible to the other two 770s. - What?
-- you’ve made a thread to ask (or posted an answer) if Choice A or Choice B is better in terms of classes, summer programs, colleges, etc. - Well, I have been wondering what most people would pick if they got admitted into both Harvard and Stanford.
-- you’re a sophomore and you’ve got your college list laid out already. - No, I'm a freshman, and I do have my college list laid out already.
-- you own multiple prep books – and CollegeBoard is a must. - No prep books (well, I do have some for Spanish) but yeah, I like CollegeBoard.
-- first semester isn’t over and you’re already discussing about possible classes for next year. - I've been doing that since eighth grade.

-- you’re considering an Ivy, Stanford, MIT –a prestigious college. - Well, I am not considering ALL of the Ivy League (it's just a former sports conference, y'all), but Harvard and Stanford are obviously my targets.
-- you’re familiar with RSI, TASP, ISEF, Siemens Westinghouse, NIH, CTY, and the such. - Yeah. I'm thinking about asking two of my friends if they want to do the Siemens Westinghouse group contest with me, just for the heck of it (but it probably would be a waste of time)
-- you know what these are: USABO, AIME, AMC, USNCO. - No, my apologies.
-- you’ve self-studied (or planning on self-studying) for an AP course. - Yeah, I'm planning to do that for Psychology and French.
