English town too disturbingly white

Aren't those tests a joke now anyway? I mean when I took the GRE some years ago the kit that came was full of adverts for stuff that was supposed to improve your score – isn't that besides the point?

The SAT is a total joke. But our friend here doesn't seem to think so, and brings it up in his arguments as if it has relevance.

The SAT is a total joke.

We don't have standardized tests in NZ. We're like Britain and have national exams.

Did you do much of the prep stuff. I merely did the examples in the pamphlet. I did OK, but the math stuff was all American (we have quite a different curriculum – and I hadn't done math for ten years).

This was for the GRE.

I took a few practice tests. Originally I had 800/770/770. (770s in the verbal sections) so I improved 50 points from my practice.

That's a bannable offense.

But only if you are Asher, and UR is on a powertrip.

Well, Odin, I see you weren't smart enough to get into the real "U", now were you? Let alone a school like Stanford? Only average types go to Moorhead- it's the backwater of Minnesota/Dakota land. The only thing worse would be Stout in Wisconsin- maybe.

"Stout, Stout, the easy way out".

Yeah, I'm real impressed.

Heh- you're another sub 1000 SAT guy.

MSUM is a good school, jackass. I went here instead of U of M because tuition is cheaper, I don't want to be taking out loans untill I start grad school. I got a 28 on my ACT, which is good enough to get you in to most colleges, so don't start questioning my intelligence. Oh, and did I mention that I got an A in all my classes this semester? Now Leave, evil troll before I hire Asher to infect you computer with a virus.

It wasn't an insult, I was just describing him.........

Do you want to go to grad school?

I have held one job in my adult life- it lasted 2.5 years and then I "retired"- what you would call retirement. I have since devoted my time to politics, travel and "hobbies", occasionally taking courses in subject matter that interests me.

So you're a rich b*stard who has never had a real job? no wonder you are such a dunce. I've worked more than you, and I'm 19. Get into the real world, asshat.

I don't know yet. I'm not even in college yet.

Combined score of 1540- in 1978. Stanford, class of 1982- Economics/Poly-Sci (dual major)

Subsequent degrees from the University of Minnesota- Minneapolis/St.Paul campus. 4th generation graduate of the U. CS degree, 1999. In my family of four siblings there are a total of seven undergrad degrees and 3 post grad degrees and one PHD- which was gained helping to map the Human Genome, on said project. And I have news for you- what you have been "told" about genes and "race being a social construct" is false. And, as far back as 1980 profs at the better schools were teaching poly-sci majors that the future of politics in the West was the "managing of the masses"- not governing them, but managing them, you know, like a herd of cattle.

I have held one job in my adult life- it lasted 2.5 years and then I "retired"- what you would call retirement. I have since devoted my time to politics, travel and "hobbies", occasionally taking courses in subject matter that interests me.

That score, btw, puts me in the upper 99%. But I knew that in 9th grade.

But when did you earn your hood?

Grad school is the new college.

Everyone, chill a little.

I think it's over now anyway. The latecomers are just getting in their @@.
