I'm waiting on my response to Guelph-Humber which is a program offered at Humber in Toronto, The course I'm looking at offers a cooperative University College program for Media studies which will get me a Degree in Media Studies and a Diploma in Journalism. I'll most likely get in considering my average is around 80 and I've completed 3 of my 6 Grade 12 Courses. I'm currently getting a 100 in World Issues, I only have two more University Preparation courses and I should be good to go.

I'm looking at receiving a bursarie from $1000-4000 per year for being accepted with a high average, plus I plan on playing off the fact that I live with my mother and my father doesn't pay child support.

I don't recommend G-H's journalism program. I'm at Humber for their program and it is much better than what they have at G-H. Humber's paper and magazines are better established and have regular printing schedules to give students opportunities to produce work but I know final year students at G-H that still haven't gotten anything published in their paper. To be fair though, it is a newer program and they are improving.

I think someone brushed up on a really good subject in here, if you don't get top marks in university, who gives a fuck? I'd do the best I can do and not compare myself to anyone else. I think the best thing that I can do is to pass and succeed the best I can on my terms and if I'm lucky after four years I'll get a piece of paper, scratch that 2 pieces of paper.

Yea, I am in a similair situation to yours Distort
I go to Landon in Maryland which has a pretty good reputation and I happen to be in one of the smartest classes its had in years...

But my mom went to Cornell and my dad to Virginia so I have two good legacies. Hopefully it will help some.

I've got legacy at Columbia and Tufts, but I hated Columbia when I visited.

The problem with going to "one of the best schools in the country" is that
1) colleges will have quotas for accepting people from your school
2) you can't use it to compensate for good grades if you're looking at competitive universities because there are people in the exact same place who ARE getting good grades

If you want to get into UVA and you go to TJ (the school face was talking about) you're basically screwed because everyone else wants to go there too.

My school was something like 55th in the country when I was there, I had a 3.9/4.0 with both IB and AP classes and there were probably around 40 people with a higher GPA than me who had taken MORE IB/AP classes, just in my graduating class alone. So no, getting by on reputation isn't really a solid game plan.

Tell me about it. So many people from my school apply to Yale that it becomes inter-school competition. The 15ish people from my grade that applied early were all incredibly qualified, but there was no way that they were going to take all 15. I'm relying on my extracurricular stuff to really set me apart from the bookworms, but I agree with what you're saying (I have some friends at TJ in similar situations).

At least I'm a half-decent shark in TW. Maybe I'll come back to visit after my last highschool finals ever (cause I'll be done with apps, too!)

I'm talking about magnet schools that let people in entirely on the basis of standardized tests and grades. Didn't you go to an art magnet school? Still, obviously, I don't mean that everyone at those places has no social skills. I just meant that if you are completely lame, and you go to one of those places, you can surround yourself with people exactly like you and not realize that you really have problems.

Well... to get in you have to pass a most basic test and have like, a C minus grade point average. But seeing as it is Louisiana, like #49th in overall education out of 50 states...

Magnet was founded in the early 90's so it is still kinda new. Magnet used to be a very liberal place, so most of the kids who wanted to kick back and chill went there. Over time it's gotten more strict - mainly because our campus used to be a middle school in the ghetto, there have been cases where robbers walk onto campus and hold up a teacher - but compared to other schools, we are still very relaxed. No hall monitors, lax enforcement of dress code, leaving campus with little/no hassle. The general idea is, we had the rules because they were state mandated, but as long as noone abused the priveledge, we coould do as we pleased.

This school has two modes. You can coast through and pretty much get a general education in a relaxed atmosphere, or you can cram up ap/gateway/honors classes. I mixed both, doing general math (my weakpoint) but going gateway and ap with english, history. Science... what science? I took chemistry with a blowoff teacher who talked about her kids every day.

We have talent shows and "picnics", where the artistry begins to shine. Bands are allowed to play, et cetera. Every year Manget has the one "big" band. My four years:

freshman: statuescrybleeding
sophomore: april's love affair
junior:frog
senior: noids

You can see the gradual transition from dime-a-dozen hardcore to straight up blues/rockabilly.

...but as for your original point, yeah, ton of nerds who will never see sunlight. But we got soulllll, and we're super bad.

Thanks guys, now I feel like much less of a nerd
