<li>you can recite the best prep books for every AP course</li>
</ul>
<p>you don’t know anything about non-top 30 colleges

such terms as “self-study” and “urm” are a regular part of your vocabulary
you worry that your schedule might be too easy, not too hard
you want to retake a 790 on an sat II

<p>Superscoring isn’t legit, and everybody knows that 2300 is relatively rare. jeez</p>
<ul>
<li>When people mention a college, you can automatically tell them all sorts of obscure facts about it. </li>
</ul>
<p>… or that could just be me.</p>
<p>when:
you could write your own expose of the college admissions process
a 200 on the PSAT is depressing
you could write a dissertation of affirmative action
you post here every day
your friends are all on CC
you know way tooo much about the top 30 colleges
HYPMSC drifts in your dreams</p>
<ul>
<li>you can translate -15 on SAT physics/math/bio/chem/history to a score out of 800</li>
<li>you know that 60% on most AP tests is enough for a 5</li>
<li>you don’t freak out when you hear that someone took Calculus</li>
<li>you know the diff between ED, EA and SCEA</li>

</ul>
<p>-your heart starts beating fast when you hear the ComApp is out or when essays for your fave schools come out</p>
<p>-you anxiously stay up until 2am to receive your SAT scores</p>
<p>when:</p>
<p>you realize people actually do care about their future.</p>
<ul>
<li>and when you know that AP scores are actually available several days before july 1st</li>
</ul>
<p>^that’s the one</p>
<ul>
<li>when you know the exact time that SAT scores are released!! (2am pacific, 5am est)</li>
<li>when you know that there are 19 days from the SAT testing date to when scores are posted online</li>
</ul>
<p>-you know about every school’s financial aid policy
-you know what the terms safety, match, and reach mean
-3.7 and below is a “OK” GPA
-the what are my chances threads dont scare you anymore:) (like they did me at first)

<ul>
<li>you’re friends with a whole bunch of CCers on fb… hehe. And you chat/talk to them daily lol.</li>
</ul>

<ul>

<li>You know the colleges you want to go to off the top of your head in order from reaches to matches to safeties</li>

<li>You know about extracurricular activities that aren’t even at your school</li>
</ul>
<p>If it’s not an 800 on Math II, it’s a failure; 790 is slightly acceptable.</p>
<p>When the thought of more than one online class during the school year/summer doesn’t sound hard in the slightest to you.</p>
<p>You’d spend break taking math classes because you were mad your last school district only let you get ahead one year. </p>
<p>You’re mad your school doesn’t offer an AP in a core class, so you plan to take the honors version in school and the AP version online concurently. </p>
<p>When AP Stats is a joke to you.</p>
<p>When NHS is also a joke to you. </p>
<p>When you fight for more rigorous standards at your local school.</p>
<p>When you live in the West and plan to go to school in the East. </p>
<p>When you know debate doesn’t really help in college admissions unless you’re “passionate” about something.</p>
<p>You’ve learned how to “fake” “passion”.</p>
<p>You know more than your school GC knows about college admission.</p>
<p>You could open a college prep service. </p>
<p>You’re debating between taking a free period to study in, or DC Chem. </p>
<p>You every so often write down your class schedule and EC’s just to make sure you’re on track.</p>
<p>When going through the “yearly interview” some schools have with the GC about colleges, you recite everything back to him/her without listening.</p>
