I am about to be off to the Duke TIP program again (I'm supposed to leave in half an hour, but we're running late), so I won't be able to get on much for the next three weeks. After that I'm going to Australia for another three weeks, so I won't be on at all then, but then I'll be back for most of the rest of the year.

Oh no!
Well, have fun with whatever TIP is.

Well, it's a camp sponsored by Duke's Talent Identification Program--the one that finds seventh-graders to take the SAT? Yeah, I'd be going, but my parents don't want to spring for it. Bishes.
lifebaka, you suck for leaving.

Grade Sevens?
You're all older than that, aren't you?

Oh, yeah, no worries. But they try to get you to come to camp until tenth grade.

You have to take the SAT to get in, or the ACT, and it's only open for rising 8th through 11th graders. It's an amazing experience, you get to meet all the other geniuses of America.
The scores you have to have had to get in are pretty low (only about 600 in either Math or Verbal for most classes, or over 540 in each), considering the croud it's pulling in. I took it... about five years ago and got about a 1040; 600 math, 440 verbal. I know so many people that got stuff like 1400 in the seventh grade, though, so mine really sucks by comparison.

I have to say, I love how I beat you with my 800 verbal, 400 math. Yarr! SAT pirate!

Yeah, well my 216 this year on the PSAT own'z that score. Badly, too. And I hear the SAT is easier, so I'm guessing I'll have somewhere around a 2300 on it this time.
Beyond which, I know people who got about 700 on each, so neither of us has a good score.
