I think I have like a 65 right now and the material is only getting harder. ;_; ;_; If I fail this class do I have to just drop out of college all-together???? Someone else plz share your failures with me so that I can feel better about myself. lol I got a D- in trig, but I did that in high school. Now I am only 2 quarters away from an engineering degree So point is, you can fail a class and still become successful and pursue whatever road you wish to pursue. Trig sucks anyway. Calculus (if you have to take that for Lib Arts) is way easier Stop worrying and start enjoying the fuck out of college while it lasts. One of the main reasons I'm going for a masters is so I don't have to leave college :lol:

I'm planning on applying to 3 Ivies. =/ I think Cornell is the only one I'd have a shot at getting into though.

Idk as long as you're in the range of what they accept grades/scores-wise, you have a decent shot. A lot of it comes down to everything else you have going on (the stuff that actually makes you interesting... or not). SO many of the kids at my HS had amazing grades and did nothing else and got rejected from most schools they applied to.

It's just once class, and once you pick your confidence and optimism up, everything will be just peachy keen my love! If you have to fail pre-calc, don't sweat it. If you're seriously contemplating dropping out of school over that class, then you should probs drop out... But anyway, I doubt you're serious about that, so going the liberal arts direction is usually the best option when you don't know what you want to do. It's incredibly hard to find what you want to do and what you're passionate about, but I assume you'll know it when it hits you. I'm a junior in college and I just switched my major. It's not really that great of a setback actually, but one you can make too if need be, so don't worry about too far down the line. Enjoy the college experience. Have a few drinks, make legit friends, enjoy your hobbies and relax.

Altho I did do really well on the reasoning test I have a relative who used to teach and Princeton and he was all like "well I can't help you get in sry" :rolleyes:

That was way harsh Posts: 3,078 Group: ORG Gamerr Member #266 Joined: September 1, 2009	Pulau Tiga Nov 3 2010, 07:55 PM I planned to apply for UPenn, but I backed out because I figured it would be silly to apply to two Ivy League school. Not only that, but people who come from temperate states to go to school in the Northeast HATE. Like I never knew any better than miserable winters, but when people at my school would tell me they were from like Texas and California I was like LOL ur a dumbass.

Leave the crime fighting to the professionals like Madhack and I. We formed a crime fighting duo known as The Sandmen. He puts them to sleep and I kill them in their dreams.

cacafuego Posts: 7,118 Group: ORG Gamerr Member #90 Joined: December 8, 2007	Kyle Nov 3 2010, 08:06 PM Which one did you apply and get in to? And yeah they're crazy expensive. I had like $65,000 in loans by the time I got out. They gave me financial aid but not nearly enough and I'm not even close to an only child so my parents weren't paying for everything. I got into Harvard, but my parents were just above the income level where I'd basically be able to go for free. I mean, we were still in a level where I'd have gotten a lot of breaks, and loans and scholarships definitely would have covered tuition, but it would have been pretty damn hard to pay for everything that's needed, considering my parents had no money to help me with. I've been financially independent since I started school. <3 Nick I'm planning on applying to 3 Ivies. =/ I think Cornell is the only one I'd have a shot at getting into though. Not with those SAT scores. Nah, I don't really know much about undergrad admissions, I'm still surprised I got into an Ivy League in the first place. I was 750+ on all of my SAT categories except for the Spanish subject test, which I think I got a 600 or something on. So I bombed that one, and still got in. If your GPA's above a 4.5 and your test scores are good, I guess you've just gotta win them over with your personal statement and your interview. ncass Not only that, but people who come from temperate states to go to school in the Northeast HATE. Like I never knew any better than miserable winters, but when people at my school would tell me they were from like Texas and California I was like LOL ur a dumbass. There's still a chance I go somewhere in the Northeast for law school, in which case I'll totally be one of those punks. <3

Yeah I think anything above 700 is definitely good enough for any of the top schools really (as long as the rest of your stuff is good too). Other than my Math subject tests, I think I had like 650/660 in both Chemistry & Physics and they didn't care. Besides, they could find you interesting for any other number of reasons or extracurriculars you have too.
