Is it just me, or is the prospect of "getting into college" a heck of a lot harder than it was for our parents/grandparents? Like all of a sudden, UCLA and all the other UC's are requiring students to take the SAT and the ACT standardized test, along with SAT Subject tests.
And what the school doesn't state in their requirements, they show in practice. Students who don't take AP or IB classes aren't getting into the top colleges, and now colleges are looking for "specialty" kids. We're talking about like, science-fair winners, fine-arts individuals, kids who are prodigies.... What is going on?? Heck, I don't even feel like I have a social life anymore.
But on the side note... How is this forum doing? Seems to have proliferated as I see today, and Release 12 of the dBpowerAMP Music Converter seems to have been released quite a while back. Heh... I feel old. :-\
