You Know You're a CC'er when...

Pre-College Issues High School Life
21

<p>When you’ve taken 500 AP classes.</p>

<p>When you manage to get into one or more of HYPSM.</p>

<p>When you have perfect (or near perfect) standardized test scores.</p>

<p>When you have an astronomical GPA.</p>

22

<p>

Hah! Sad, but true.</p>

23

<p>When you know what a GC is…</p>

24

<p>"-your heart starts beating fast when you hear the ComApp is out or when essays for your fave schools come out "
omg QFT</p>

25

<p>-you correct people’s grammar</p>

26

<p>You believe freshmen should be banned from CC, or at least confined to Prep School Admissions only.</p>

27

<ul>
<li>You know the caps-lock terms URM, GC, SAT II, AP, EC, CC, HYPSMC</li>
</ul>

28

<p>I think knowing HYPSMC is the true sign of a CCer.</p>

29

<p>^ You have a point there. And I know what it means!</p>

30

<p>^ Who doesn’t know what HYPSMC means? Seriously?</p>

31

<p>justaverage: go up to someone on the street and say: I’m considering some LACs, but I figure I might as well apply to HYPSMC anyways (with S or Y being SCEA), as some people on CC said to me, the OP, that my ECs were strong enough for those schools, despite me not being a URM, First-gen, or any other hook. My GC was, unfortunately, nonexistent in helping me find safeties, matches, and reaches. </p>

<p>If they have any idea what you’re talking about, which I figure is quite unlikely, you know they are/were a CCer.</p>

32

<p>

</p>

<p>^Most people.</p>

33

<p>Hahaha, I know. I would never say HYPSMC in a normal conversation and expect someone to understand what I’m talking about.</p>

<p>but, I thought “I think knowing HYPSMC is the true sign of a CCer.” implied that some CC’ers don’t know what that means…?</p>

<p>It made sense.</p>

34

<p>Some people on here don’t know CHYMPS.</p>

35

<p>I’m still not 100% what the C is for. I think some people mean different things for it. But HYPMS is obvi.</p>

36

<p>This thread is dead on I laughed so many times</p>

37

<ul>
<li>when everyone wants to go to a “top” Ivy league or other school without realizing that they aren’t really the best.</li>
</ul>

<p>(It’s like abercrombie vs. levi, you’re paying for the name, but each works fine, levi’s even better)</p>

38

<p>When you have a 34 on your ACT, a 4.0 uw, and are in the top 1% of your class, and are WORRIED about college admission</p>

<p>true signs of a CCer</p>
