I'm going to study Physics. My courses first semester will probably include the mandatory writing/english course, a math class(probably multivariable calc), an intro physics class, and finally an elective of my choice.

Except I hadn't even graduated HS when I made that earlier post. I'm 18 now :) ....and it wasn't exactly so far fetched, because in the end I got in to Harvard, Dartmouth, Penn, and UVA anyway.

Did you go to a really good high school, or just an average one? And most importantly, are you excited? Are you're friends and family proud? I know I would be.

My parents are paying the full tuition. I went to a private school in the Manhattan borough of NY, NY. I was one of the stronger students but not the best. And I'm SUPER EXCITED to hang with the best of the best for four years.

I don't think I'm allowed to sign up for classes yet(it's only mid-June) but I plan on majoring in Physics and going for my MBA later on.

Man up.

They only look at high school grades. And it's impossible to say what grades you need. You can get perfect grades AND take the hardest classes possible, but still be rejected. So do your best. As a rule of thumb, though, if your school ranks and you're not in the top 10%, you're screwed.

No, 7.

I'm trying to build up the courage to ask a girl to prom. We're already sorta friends, and she supposedly likes me. BUT it's still nerve wracking to ask. i don't want to make it awkward, but asking her on AIM might be lame. it's just so hard to bring up the subject without being creepy.

The lack of official notice on Tom's part, which would be posted on the front page far ahead of the deletion, makes it obvious that this is an April Fools joke. Nice try, though, Wade.

This is painful, but there are far worse forms of pain. I've tried it before. It just created a burning sensation...didn't do any real harm.

i think its a fairly important question

We all set goals about our lives when we were ten years old. For those users who are no longer teens, have you lived up to the goals you set? Basically, do you consider yourself a success or a failure?

I've never done drugs or smoked cigarettes. I do have a lot of alcohol and cigars, though. I've also never truly trusted someone, though I have a gf and plenty of friends.

I have a feeling from reading posts that a lot of you are. but answer honestly here, i'm curious.

Of course i'd sell my body for all that money, but that's not a profission that i could say i'm proud of, so i'd probably just use it go get cash to aid me in my life and then stop forever.

My dad is an orthodontist, and if you divide his yearly earnings by the number of hours he works in a year, you get 230 dollars. To be honest, a lot of professions can yield 200 dollars per hour of work.

To brag, and possibly to help anyone out with their own standardized testing troubles.

Ask me anything.

Those who have scored above the 99th percentile on an IQ test or standardized test(SAT, ACT, GRE, etc) or have received a PhD(or are certified lawyers or doctors) are invited to join the Genius Crew.

In the genius crew, discussion and debate will be especially lively and intelligent.

Goals of the Genius Crew
- discuss the nature of intelligence and ways of improving intelligence
- discuss education and academics
- engage in the highest level of debate

Intelligence usually comes through in one's posts, but if you have any sort of proof of intelligence, you're welcome to post it. My credentials? I scored a 2370 on the SAT, which places me in the 99.95th percentile of SAT takers.

Oh well....I don't care much for soft names like that. At least I'll be able to name my own son Michael.

You've gotta give him a board room name. When you're named Rasheed or Mayonaisse people will have trouble taking you seriously. Give him a strong, American name. I like Michael. Makes me think of Michael Corleone.

michael corleone

the guy who owns the pub must be pissed off by all of the childish stuff going on with his workers. in any case, i doubt he's gonna fire you unless you're hurting the bottom line. it might be personal with your supervisor, but it's not personal with him.

most orthodontists these days just give out a transparent plastic retainer, which looks like this.

It's not just about self esteem. When you're trying to pick up a girl, or when you're in the middle of a job interview, you will unfortunately be judged based on appearance, which includes your teeth.

My dad is an orthodontist. In honesty, it's to your advantage to keep the braces until your teeth are straight. The permanent retainer is molded from your own bite, so if you get your braces off early, the permanent retainer will just keep your teeth looking dumb.

Also, after a few months, you can get away with wearing the retainer every other night. Basically 8 hours out of every 48 hours.

And many people don't realize how bad their teeth would look if they hadn't gotten braces. Teeth that are crooked at age 12 and don't get any treatment typically look god awful at age 20. So even if you don't wear your retainer and your teeth revert back to their 12 year old state, the braces still helped.

not what i meant....personally i would say no to the offer because i have a girlfriend. but i don't get guys who say "i'd rather die than get taken in the butt by a queer-o-sexual"....it's probably not that bad.

If a good looking guy offered to do you in the butt(he'd be wearing a condom and stuff) would you accept the offer? even if you're not gay, it would be stimulating, and less boring than the stuff you usually do.
