Cal Grants are, well, not tremendously effective except to help the same people that the FAFSA helps. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, March 15 2005 09:08 Profile Homepage #105 Dolphin, you're in California, right? If so, you must surely know that your list of sources of aid is wrong. Out of "being low income, a single parent, high GPA, playing sports. speaking other languages, or being disabled," the only one that consistently gets you aid is playing sports, and that's generally only true if you're going to a D1 school and are one of the star players on your team. High GPA gets you nothing unless you have a GPA that would get you into Harvard and you opt for Fresno State instead (and I mean that literally) -- the only way to get merit-based aid is to go to a school substantially worse than one you could get into. Speaking other languages or being disabled have nothing to do with aid whatsoever, as far as I know. Being a single parent may fall under the category of "low income," but most schools don't care about being a single parent in itself. Being low income usually gets you aid, but not always; both Wizcozski and I got screwed out of financial aid because we're in unusual financial situations that look better on paper than they actually are. The FAFSA is utter garbage. There just isn't enough money for aid out there even if the system were perfect, and the system is far from perfect. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Further creepiness. Oh, and a century ago, you didn't really have to apply to go to even the most selective schools -- you just demonstrated that you'd mastered the essential entrance-level skills (Latin, Greek) and they took you. Rarely was a qualified applicant rejected. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

This is less likely than you might think. National Merit truly sucks at actually awarding money, because that's not really what their main goal is, and if you expect anyone else to hand out merit-based scholarships, you are in for a rude awakening. Well, unless you're planning to go to a lesser-known school that specializes in merit scholarships, but those are unusual to say the least. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, March 14 2005 13:54 Profile Homepage #87 I applied to FAR too many schools, because I didn't really do my research and narrow down my choices, and the Common App and UC app covered most of my schools already. I applied to: Harvard Princeton Brown MIT Amherst Vassar Carleton Grinnell Wash U, St Louis UC Berkeley UCLA UCSB UCSD Claremont McKenna I got into all of them but Harvard, Princeton, and Brown, the last of which I was waitlisted at. I ended up going to UC Berkeley because it was far cheaper than the others, and so far it's working out well. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, March 14 2005 06:20 Profile Homepage #69 quote: Originally written by VCH: Oh and as for intelligence it does not dramatically increase over time. Perhaps in some odd cases. But generally one's intelligence will plateau around age 20 and remain constant, declining only slightly until death. Crystalized intelligence supposedly increases with age while fluid intelligence decrease. On the same note IQ scores for somebody age 7 should not proportionally change to any large degree at following ages. IQ test would not be valid if test scores varied greatly over time which they do not. Intelligence does change over time. It may increase, decrease, or waver around a central point, but it does change. Not for everyone, not all the time, not over small periods of time, but for a sizable number of people over long periods of time, it does change. Also, my IQ scores have varied over a 50-point range, and I'm not the only one. That's why I'm saying they are of questionable validity. Thuryl: you're basically describing subject tests. I have mixed feelings about subject tests, because while they do have the advantage of focusing on topics that are actually taught in school, they also show more bias along ethnic, gender, and income lines than general intelligence tests. I just think there's a limit to what any sort of standardized test can tell you. Ash: I feel that there should be certain things that are taught in school. Reading seems like a big one. Basic arithmetic. Some algebra. But I do agree that the overwhelming majority of what is done in schools through the end of high school is garbage for most people. Schools very badly need to change. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, March 13 2005 19:45 Profile Homepage #59 digging out my Princeton Review history of the SAT Yes, Binet wanted to keep IQ tests to diagnosing for learning disabilities. It's really the SAT that's evil. "[Henry Chauncey, founder of ETS] was completely convinced of the power of scientific testing to diagnose and solve the mysteries of the human mind and wanted to move far beyond the SAT. His dream was a project called the Census of Abilities that would test all Americans twice during their high-school years — not just on what the SAT measured — but on every other attribute as well. He wanted standardized tests for personality type, creativity, practical judgment, persistence, sense of humor, and even marital compatibility." Creepy. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, March 13 2005 12:05 Profile Homepage #49 My main problem with intelligence tests of any kind is that a person's intelligence can change rather dramatically over time. Someone who was not strikingly intelligent at age 10 can turn into a very bright 25-year-old. Intelligence is by no means a set constant within any individual over time. Also I have trouble trusting anything that was born of the eugenics movement in the '20s and '30s. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

However, underground civilizations are not Jeff's idea; they preceded him by quite a bit. If you used much the same general setting but created different names, different geography, and different details (magic, etc), then you'd be on fairly safe ground.
