Wow, yeah that is a genuinely awful score. Consider me even more baffled.
Edit: Ah did they change the max? The max was 2400 when I took it three years ago.

"White liberals" don't create white supremacists. You should take issue with the fact that people like Kirk unironically do wish you dead, not what people say in response to their dumbass actions and ideals. White supremacists are already "triggered" by you simply existing, so working to deplatform and stop the spread of their messaging is the first step to keep more idiots like Kirk from being radicalized.
Bragging about being 2nd lol. My sister was first in her class, had a 2400 out of 2400 from the old scoring system and got rejected lmao
I looked it up and it's back to 1600 again. I thought the 2400 was dumb but I didn't realize they dropped it back so fast.
1200 out of 1600 was not ivy league material when I was in school but it's a lot better than 1200 out of 2400 which is what I thought.
He probably pimped the fact that he was a parkland survivor a lot to get accepted with that score if true.
I mean the unfortunate thing is, I graduated HS in 2015 in a fairly wealthy and super white town and there were tons of people like that in my high school.
Most young conservatives are just fucking blatant racists and sexists and homophobes and nobody bats an eye. Which is why it's not surprising to me at all that he acted like that all the time. Because I know way too many people who were just like him.
I can chew gum and walk at the same time just fine, but thank you.
This is nonsensical. Condemning racism instead of allowing it to fester is what is happening here. More of this needs to occur. This isn't a problem; it's literally part of a solution.
just an all-time great, hilarious tweet that is somewhat relevant to this thread
They are probably proud of their son for sticking to his beliefs in the face of persecution.
No. I just looked it up. The max score is 1600 now how it was when I was in school. A 1200 is a decent score but nowhere near Harvard level.
It's been a really long time since I took it but back then it was 600 points each for math/reading and then 400 for an essay you wrote at the end (iirc).
I took it once and when I was half way through the essay I was like "fuck this", handed in my test and walked out since I knew I had the score I wanted for my selected school based on the first two parts. That damn test is too long and it wasn't even a good metric for intelligence. One of the smartest kids I knew in school studied his ass off and somehow got a 900 yet he finished his degree at NYU in 3 years with a magna cum laude.
Saying conservatives should be drowned or whatever isn't condemning racism. There's black and brown conservatives. I don't agree with them but I also don't joke about killing them.
You can piss on them all you want but it crosses a very serious line when violence starts being promoted.
My bad, I thought you were calling Harvard's actions the cause for radicalization.
There are surely people who bomb it who are actually intelligent but you can't get an elite score and not be very intelligent, that's why it's a good metric for colleges when you're dealing with thousands of different high schools that make just grades almost meaningless when you're getting into the Ivy League admission level.
Maybe I'm too hard on myself but I'm also basing that opinion on the fact that I got a great score without even finishing the test and I was never that good in school. I have always been great at taking tests though so while I think it's definitely really helpful to use as a metric it shouldn't be given the weight that it has and at least when I took it a lot of the reading portion seemed like it was unfair to people from different cultures but it's possible they fixed that considering how long ago it was.
Anyway I'm going way off the original topic but it's still a good conversation to have about the requirements to get into the best schools, especially after the whole placement buying scandal.
Have any of these "journalists" asked Kashuv when was the last time he used the n-word? Two years ago? One year? Two hours ago?
"I used to be racist, but after the Parkland shooting I'm a changed man!" 🙄
Guess Kashuv's old man didn't have money to buy his kid's way in like Jared Kushner's father did for him. Jared was a C student in high school.
Shouldn't even be surprised at this point. He is white, after all.
Remember that time the white classmates went on record saying they were disappointed at the media for focusing on the white students of the shooting and barely cared about the minority students.
Good times.
Some people really, REALLY want to be able to say the n-word in private and not get in trouble for it...
