education/general

I will be going to university in two years and I am curious what other people think of university.

I plan on going to the University of Washington due to price. I cannot afford a more prestigious institution for undergraduate education.

In addition, I am currently about to enter my third year of high school.

For my compatriots in the United States of America, I would like to ask that you answer a few questions about yourself (listed below). I am always interested in comparing scores and grades, especially with my friends. Often, I get very caught up in comparing my academic performance with my friends and I find that doing so allows me to express myself very passionately. I would absolutely love to see the scores of other USA students on standardized exams!

*What are your SAT or ACT scores? Please list the score, test, and date of administration. For SAT, please give the individual score of each section with the composite. For both, please give the score of the essay.
*What AP tests have you taken? Please also give scores and the year of administration.
*What is your GPA (Grade Point Average)? Please give in both unweighted and weighted forms. For reference, an A is weighted as a 4, a B is weighted as a 3, and so on and so forth. Honors and AP classes have a 1 added to the weight of the class.
*What are the demographics of your school? I am especially interested in knowing the percentage of Asian students in your school.
What college or university do you think you will attend in the future, if you are not yet past high school?
*What college or university would you ideally like to attend, if you are not yet past high school? Disregard factors such as your own academic performance or the cost of attending the university.
What is your planned schedule for the upcoming term?

Answering these questions gives me more information about your background and would be a great deal of help to me when I am talking to you on board2 and on IRC. I find that communication is facilitated when I know more about the person to whom I am speaking.

At the moment, I find high school to be fairly enjoyable. The classes that I am taking are not particularly difficult and leave me ample time for other leisurely activities such as practicing Chinese or playing piano. Extracurricular activities tied to the school, such as clubs, tend to bore me, but they have some benefits and I enjoy them enough to stay.

I participate in my school's Robotics club. However, the club itself is quite unimpressive and it seems that it tends to attract the most peculiar students in the entire school. Due to this, I dislike attending Robotics club meetings; the members are, to say the least, intrusive and idiotic. Most of them do enjoy spouting Internet memes as though they were on /b/--a behavior which I simply cannot stand. However, I have heard that I am eligible for scholarships for simple membership in the club, so I will continue to attend for said scholarships. I cannot possibly pass up an opportunity to profit at little expense to myself; it would be as illogical as returning a package of money sent to your doorstep.

Math club is slowly losing its appeal, unfortunately. The members grow more and more peculiar, and a person with whom I used to associate becomes increasing unsociable. It is not as though he is falling into NEET or hikikomori behavior; it is simply that he focuses single-handedly on improving his mathematics performance. You may remember him as Messiah or I_AM_SAND: a wholly immature member from the behavior he exhibited. The rest of the Math club roster is no less strange, but in their own ways.

I have been attempting to talk with other people more often lately. However, my ventures in this matter have been unsuccessful, but I will persist.

I greatly enjoy talking about school, so I would love to discuss schooling experiences with everyone else, especially since board2 draws its members from all around the world. One of the topics I discuss most is school because of the familiarity I have with education.
