Here is my college application profile. (Some of those scores haven't actually happened yet, but I am fairly confident based on the results of practice tests that I will get full score on quite a few of the tests I haven't taken yet.)

What do you think about college applications?

I am going to go to UW, but I will apply to multiple colleges to keep my options open. Of course, I won't actually be applying until next year. I am still in my 11th year!

It's been pretty well established that Kiro is Chinese.

My my, I had no idea.

Seriously though, it does look good Kiro.

Now just try to avoid girls, alcohol, and parties for the next few years and you'll be a shoe-in to the University of Washington.

Well, I still contend that it is a bit of a waste to only aim for a public university with the scores you have (you'd probably have a good shot at getting extensive scholarships in the Ivy League); I got into the University of Cambridge with an (albeit small) scholarship with a far less clean record than that. It's not even necessarily so much that the university won't teach you to a sufficient standard - the problem more is that precisely because of the cheapness and higher accessibility, chances are high that all or most of your fellow students will walk down the path Xeruss outlined and, at best, leave you more isolated than you ever could have been in HS, and at worst, drag you down with them at long last.

I reckon that high hurdles of access to an institution of education might really be the only somewhat efficient measure to keep out those who only want to become students to enjoy a fratboy life of drinks and procreation.

Oh I was being facetious with that remark about University of Washington. I just noticed on his page he has a "99.7% chance" of acceptance there. Which if nothing else means you will pretty much have a fail-safe no matter what.
