    Actually, it IS hard to get into Ivy Colleges with good SAT score and a 4.0 gpa, because every other person who is applying to those schools also has good (nearly perfect) SAT scores and perfect gpa. I am from the Northeast and have many friends who attend Ivy schools, (mostly Dartmouth (but i know people who go to Brown and UPenn). And these kids that I know have WAAAAY more than just "good SAT score and a 4.0 average".

    I am now a sophomore studying Molecular and Cellular Biology and the University of Illinois (one of the best public universities in the nation) and plan on attending medical school.

    I had higher than 4.0 and "good" SAT score and I got rejected from Dartmouth, Harvard, UPenn, Brown, and Yale.

    Its not that easy to get into those schools man... And, if you're only 15, looks like you have a LOT of research to do before you start saving money for Harvard.

    I see that your father is an alumus and yes, legacy will help you, but still, its more than just "good SAT scores and a 4.0 and legacy). I suggest playing sports, being that captain of that sports team, playing an instrument, National Honor Society... all that.

    Im not trying to be mean or condescending or a jerk at all. I'm just trying to give you a heads up about the college application process because I was once a high school student who has gone through the process and I like to think that I know a lot about it.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!! I just dont want you to think that "its not that hard to get into an ivy league school" because it is.

    -glass

    ok, i just reread your post.. 15 and graduating this year, impressive and english is a second language... Universities LOVE people like you :)!!! I just didnt want you to get the wrong impression... :)

    where are you from?!

    Sue me, its the off topic forum, and its not flaming, its heated discussion, flaming would be calling him names, insulting him, etc.

    I am simply stating the purely obvious point that he isn't getting paid what he says he is (as I did an IP search to find his town/state and then searched for the company he specified located within his state) and it is NOWHERE near a ----- template worth anything more than $500 and $100/mo to maintain by a true, overpriced -----.

    As for the programs... go to adobe.com and look up all of those products. Knowledge of the program is not as much of an issue as being creative is. The actual knowledge of the program needed is nothing huge, its the design concept that catches most people.
