I'm incredibly disillusioned with the whole system. None of it seems to matter much. They want experience.

I forgot this is the OT. But he really did. He went to Duke and received and award for scoring that high. His mother is a Dr, though, and he is a mini-her.

I understand. It's hard being a 15 year old these days. Sports and video games and theoretical physics takes it out of you.

I call bullshite on a lot of these 31+ claims .. The national percentage of people that have scored that, combined, in the last decade is less than about 3% .. yet we'll have 30% of the posts in these threads claiming that BS ..


This is the OT brah. Checking in with my early 90s 28 which did not get me a dime off of UNO's tuition.

I choose to believe that it's not that people are fibbing about their scores, but rather that Tigerdoppings and the OT mysteriously attracts exceptional geniuses to post. Like Pavlov's dogs, hearing a bell rung.

Texas laughed at me and my 31


I got into Texas with less than a 31. I'm black so maybe that made a difference.

The OT. Where geniuses congregate to discuss intellectually stimulating topics such as having intercourse with a transgendered shim, bigberg winning an OT award, or Bruce Lee vs. the neighborhood garbage man.

Someone should do a cross-reference of all the big dick threads, ACT threads, bench press threads, 40 time threads, and income threads and find the ones that always post unusually high marks in each. That way we know to shun them.

This is why I love Rag in these threads. The OT is filled with the top 1% of everything in the world that is elite.

Have 2 friends who made 35 and another who made 36.

the 35s are both doctors finishing residency.

The 36 chose to go to LSU and is some sort of engineer. Was offered ride to MIT too.

It's true. Guidance counselor told him that an ape trained to mark the boxes statistically would have made the same score. He was proud of that fact and ran around school imitating an ape for a day.
