In one week, you've racked up 127 posts. Do any have any substance?

are you f*cking kidding me? no.....the only reason I respond to these moronic posts is because I find it hilarious that someone would argue over a highschool class.....its amazing that someon would try to tell me what I did and didn't do in highschool. Why do you people give a shit? its f*cking highschool. I was almost tempted to scan a transcript and post it on here, but I thought better of it.

can you speak english?

theres also two or three different people that use this account. you'd be surprised how many people like to see how ridiculous some of the posters are on this thing.

Just an FYI- I teach and different districts call courses different names. For example, I teach Accelerated English. Though it is not AP, meaning they don't take the AP test, it is advanced in many different ways and AP in some nature. It's for the college bound and they do college level activities. So George could be correct. His school may have offered an Accelerated Science course and everyone just refered to it as AP. Most people know and are familiar with the AP term, however not everyone knows Accelerated because it can have different meanings. AP has become somewhat of a generic term over the years meaning advanced or fast track.

Transcripts! Transcripts! Transcripts! Transcripts!

Come on, Georgie boy. Show us there's some substance behind that big bad name!

back to the original thread, my University is made up of nine semi seperate colleges. One being a very well know art school which I attended. The way our classes worked is you had to be in class double the time for the same credit. Like a three credit class, instead of meeting for three hours a week it met for 6 hours a week (twice a week for 3 hours) So if you had three classes in a day it was a 9 hour day. When you join the art school the dean tells you that you cannot join greek life because you dont have the time for it, you are discoraged from joining student government and most other university activities. Not only did I do it, while in SGA, the current president, academics chair, and 4 other sisters in my chapter. I think alot of non greeks have this idea that greek life is this huge time stealer. That all you do in greek life is sit around with other members and not go to class.

That's the same for the theater school at UCLA. One of my friends/pledge sisters had to rush as a sophomore because theater majors were not allowed to rush their freshman year.

When I started my Occupational Therapy program, they also told us that we should not hold a job, belong to other organizations, get married, etc. because the program was so demanding. So yes, it was demanding, but I still managed to work two jobs and be very active in Alpha Gam (as an officer the whole time). I still graduated magna cum laude. Maybe it would have been summa cum laude if I hadn't done all that other stuff, but I also would've been broke and bored. Some people did struggle in the program who weren't working or involved in anything. It's so individual.

The year after I was initiated, our President was also President of Student Govt and had a 4.0 for her whole college career. She had a double major too, so it's not like she took blow off classes. She was just that good. I had a roommate who had a 4.0 without doing anything but going to classes and reading the text book because she had a photographic memory.

Point is, you can't say that "nobody" can do it, because some people can do anything they put their mind to.

I work in an admissions office, I know what APs exist and which don't. I've never come across an AP Organic Chemistry.

Back to the topic, I feel like it all depends on your major, how much you personally need to study and how involved you are. If you're a premed and trying to run for student council, rushing maybe wouldn't be such a good idea. Some people do perfectly well juggling a lot of responsibilities at once. It depends too much on the person.

If the teacher knows who your dad is, getting a 4.0, pledging or not, shouldnt be difficult. If you dont, then you should have gone into more details explaining what your dad does and how it could effect you prof in the future.
