@Mal--Getting into college, hopefully for free.

@Jaxon--What's up man, how is it on your side of the Atlantic?

Jaxon · 01-15-2009, 02:53 PM

It's not bad, been college applyin' myself. I have three offers out of 5 so far, still have to see what the other two think.

**Mal** · 01-15-2009, 02:55 PM

I'm just going to the cheap, publicly funded, have-to-let-in-everyone-who-meets-the-requirements university.

I'm still injecting academic-steroids into my transcript, of course intravenously. I'll be sending out the apps in a week or so. I'm also writing essays to practically anyone doling out free college money, and I'm preparing for the track season where my best chance for a free four-year ride awaits.

@Mal--I might just end up doing that and transferring after two years.

**Tsuna** · 01-15-2009, 02:59 PM

I'm not sending out applications for a while. I'm taking my ACT in February, and I plan to wait until Spring semester to start college anyway so yeah.

I wonder if the OGTs count for anything? Lmao i wish...

Jaxon · 01-15-2009, 03:02 PM

Crazy American's with your SATs and your ACTs and your OGTs and your COKs.

**Tsuna** · 01-15-2009, 03:07 PM

LOL
OGTs isn't a national test. It's a series of tests on each subject that you have to take in order to graduate from high school in Ohio. I don't know if any other states have them. :/
I just wish they counted for something... I got really good scores lol

Trey · 01-15-2009, 03:08 PM

OGTs? I never heard of 'em. I would take the ACTs, but I'm lazy and my SAT scores are enough to get me into the school I want to get into.

Jaxon · 01-15-2009, 03:08 PM

I just realised I put an apostrophe in what should be "Americans". GRAMMAR SEPPUKU I MUST.

Grammar seppuku? You're going to read random messages on Myspace or something? That's as lethal as anything as far as I'm concerned.

That's cause you don't live in Ohio. OGTs = Ohio Graduation Tests.
And I haven't taken either the SAT or the ACT yet, so I kinda have to. xD

**Mal** · 01-15-2009, 03:16 PM

My university entrance was based solely on my final grades in high school.

Trey · 01-15-2009, 03:17 PM

You should take the SAT, at least. I'm sure CollegeBoard is going to have to use a FF Limit Break to calculate your scores on that shit.

@Mal--Shiiiit, I wish colleges around here was like that. I was a bum in school until my Senior year when I realized this was my life and I need to actually try in school. I was almost too late to salvage my average GPA. With extra-curriculars, text grades, and essays.

**Tsuna** · 01-15-2009, 03:21 PM

@Jaxon--Actually...
There's not supposed to be an apostrophe.
The way you put it, "American's" indicates that you're identifying the possession of an individual person that is American. Like "I like that American's hat." And to put an apostrophe after the s, "Americans'" would be indicating that you're identifying a possession of a group of Americans.
Apostrophes are almost always used to indicate possession unless it's used in a contraction.
So...

Basically you had it right the first time.

@Trey--Nah... I mean I might take it if my ACT scores are low. But if I completely own the ACTs I don't see why I'd wanna take the SATs, too.

Jaxon · 01-15-2009, 03:23 PM

^ Well, yeah. Kat, read shit again. I wrote "American's" when referring to "Americans". That's why I stabbed myself with some txtspk in seppuku.

DO NOT QUESTION MY SELF-CRITICISM.
