[Champs 5 times]

LOL at RPI too, jesus christ did they just forget MIT?

[wopacker1980]

As usual, they don't like the list, "lists are stupid"; they do like the list, "LOOK WHERE WE'RE RANKED!!!!"

You're talking about Pookie, right? (I know you aren't, but may as well be)

[wopacker1980]

LOL
Everybody plays that game chump.

[Lee Corso]

Lists are pretty fekkin stupid.

But some folks live and die by them. Perception before substance. To seem rather than to be.

[Pookie]

....obviously you didn't even read the link. It's a list of universities that have a lot of street cred but you can get a degree from them fairly easily if you're trying to just get your peice of paper. In other words, MIT isn't on the list because they don't give out peices of paper that say "MIT" on them.

That wooshing sound over your head? Yeah. Just ignore that.

By the way, NC State wasn't even considered because they don't meet the "minimum threshold of consideration" of 1250 average SAT score :-\

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/feat...t-rigorous.html

To pick out the least challenging of the nation's top colleges, we considered schools that admit students with an average Critical Reading/Math SAT score of at least 1250.

NC State average SAT: 1186

You're bragging about a difference between less than 75 points on the SAT? Really? Has being a carolina fan been watered down to this?

that and they make you go to class once a semester, right chumps?

no, actually, they don't either for the most part.

By the way, 75 points lower on the SAT is a shitload considering it's an AVERAGE and not a single score.

[Dread]

You're a fekking idiot.

http://www.studybeans.com/sat/your_score.html

The highest possible score is 2400. 75 / 2400 is 0.03125. 3%.

Not insignificant, but certainly not

a shitload

Using your "LOGIK" every time unc loses 20-19 they've lost by a " shitload".

[Pookie]

jeezus.

unc-ch really needs a more rigorous curriculum, they are producing some dumb metherfeckers.

..............obviously you aren't a part of a strong mathematics institution. If you did, you would realize that average means that if you took any notional student from NC State and one notional student from unc, they would only be 75 points apart in their SATs. The fact that it's an "average" doesn't mean it's any more likely that one student would be massively better than the other, unless you have the statistical distribution of scores at your finger tips.

Actually, the only way you can argue that its "a shitload" is if you establish that NC State is accepting more individuals who are massively intelligent and blowing the Hell out of the SAT. Only then could you make some kind of argument that thousands of NC State students are complete idiots resulting in a 75 point average difference.

...in other words, you're full of shit. You have no information to make a claim that 75 points "is a shitload".

unc-ch really needs a more rigorous curriculum, they are producing some dumb metherfeckers.

I know, right? I mean, Champs doesn't even understand how averages works. He thinks that somehow the word "average" makes a number bigger than it really is.

[packchick03]

1250 average SAT score

Is that an actual score or an "estimated" score?

[pertsix]

I'll let you correct yourself on this one.



Also, 75 points is a lot. It's about 7-8 questions wrong. There are 100~ questions for M+R (150-160~ questions per exam for M and R, G). That's almost FULL letter grade different here at unc



edit: fixed values
