Well, this is funny. However, on the other hand, I always tested well in high school. In fact, I didn't find out for years that my SAT scores were enough to qualify me for Mensa. So, on the other hand (third hand?), I was able to blow off testing to receive Mensa admission. So, yeah! No More Tests! Be a Hero, Eat a Gyro! (for all the real zeroes, that does rhyme...).

I never knew they accepted SAT scores. I qualify from testing I did years ago, but I'm relunctant because their site said you had to pay like a $30 processing fee and I don't see it as worth the money.
Edit: Upon checking, they don't accept SAT scores after 94. I don't think I took them till about 97. Oh well.

It's impossible to get a 26 on the SAT.

It may be worth the fee and looking into if you need health insurance. They have a group plan you can get in on, but I don't know anything about the rates or coverage.

No. I think he meant the SAT. He was a student athlete. ;)

I've been saying that for years. That's the only reason why this little Asian dude was the Valedictorian of my little sister's class instead of her. He tested better than her. He had absolutely no personality and I could count the list of extracurricular activities on one hand. You should've seen his Commencement speech. How pathetic.

Both your sister and the little asian dude had no personality if they were up for valedictorian!

And anyway, the concept of extracurriculars isn't to have as many as you can, it's to do each one well. Jeez...

For the record, at my school the Valedictorian was a white girl and the uhh the runner up person was an asian dude.
On the other hand, he got into a school that rejected her I think, so I guess he had the upper hand in personality and stuff.

So nobody here should stereotype little asian dudes =P Sometimes it can be the flip side.

Who cares if you're valedictorian anyway...pfft

Where I went to school, we had all the typical crowds (names vary from school to school): Student government types, the hoods, the jocks, the band. Then there was us. One of our group said that it was silly to call ourselves the intellectuals, so he went anti- and called us the pseudo-intellectuals. And, speaking of "little asian dudes", I'm just happy up here in the Seattle area that we seem to be getting past what a person looks like and trying to just make the connection. One of these days, I keep thinking that we'll all settle down, and it will be the "normal". I like that we are close to the Pacific Rim, plus have a number of bi-racial couples that appeared to have moved up here to escape elsewhere. It's a pretty good mix, and I just don't get too upset about the folks that get all angry about stuff.

I was offered Membership back in 8th grade, I had taken the SATs in 7th grade, as well as the standardized tests. I had only gotten a 1350 on the SAT, but was ranked in the top 2% on one of the standardized tests and Top 1% on the other. I went to one of the group events, but decided not to join(I was only 14 I did not see a point). Now that I'm older I wonder if I can still use my scores to get admission.

Wanna bet? My sister was a star back in high school. Cheerleader, band, student council, debate team, etc.. She knew just about everyone at the school and they either admired her or were jealous of her. OTOH.. Nobody even knew that this other kid existed until graduation.

Nah.. You're probably still 5 ft tall and 100 lbs locked away in a computer lab somewhere writing computer viruses to get back at us all. ;)

BTW.. I'm not saying that all Asian's are small. I'm just referring to the guy that was Valedictorian in my sister's class. The Asian neighbor kid is taller than me (I'm 6'1") and I don't know where he gets it from. His parents are both pretty small. Maybe it's the American diet?
