Well. The shrink called and asked for my moms number and then told me shed call me back to talk with me and she did. I just got off the phone with her. Aparently on the testing I scored in the 96th to 98th percentile but I had to be right in the 89th percentile to get in and I wasn't right in the 98th. She told me that I had a "superior" intelectual rating and she said that was way higher than most kids my age, and she told me that my literature score was and I quote "amazingly high". When I was in temporary gifted placement we had these vocab workshop books and they were 12th grade level books, she told me that even though I was switching out of gifted that she still wanted to me do the lessons in the book because she thought it would be a really good help for me, esp on the SATs. She said in math I was a little over average but it wasn't as good as my reading, which I know, believe me I do. I'm a terrible math student but I'm passing. Anyway she told me she talked to my mom and said that she wanted me to get into a bachelorette program in a magnet school because I was capable of it and she says I could "easily obtain a scholorship" by being a part of a magnet school. She babbled about how my intelectual ability to accomplish what I set out to do is higher than a lot of people she's ever seen and blah blah. She said "most kids your age can set out to do something and try so hard to do it but you're one of the few that won't give up until you accmomplish your goal." So yeah whatever. I still wish I had gotten in. She wants me to meet with the councelor and talk about magnet schools and whatnot. I feel a little better knowing that I was two whole damn percent away from getting in gifted. She said that she knew I had been in gifted since elementary school, and that if I were younger I would have gotten in because there are a fewer number of questions you have to get correct, but as you get older that goes up and it becomes "harder to accomplish." She also said that half of the kids in that class wouldn't pass the test if they had to take it now, it's just that they, like me, took it and got in when they were really young when it was a lot easier to get in. Oh well. Atleast I'm smart enough to get into a magnet school.
Anyway there are some magnet schools I want to ask my councelor about. One of them is like a.w. dreyfoos school of the arts. ((weird)) and there's this one for web-design, and I absolutely love web-design, it's called inlet grove or something. If florida hadn't done away with the orchestra program I'd probably be able to get into Julliard by the time I wanna go to college. hahaha COUGH. It would be nice though. I miss playing in an orchestra. God damn you Florida School Board of Education and whatnot. But tuition and board at Julliard is almost 30,000 dollars alone. Damn colleges. I don't know about you but I don't have 30,000 dollars plus all the other transporation shit and whatnot. They probably make you pay a million dollars for tryouts and all that stuff too.
EDIT:
My mom called me. She told me that the shrink said my IQ was a whole nine points away from what it had to be to get in. Super. Nine whole points. Yeah now I feel really stupid. ((Not really....)) Yeah. Anyway my mom said when the shrink called her she told her that Debbie (the class placemement ladY) was really trying to discourage me from getting into the class and the shrink said she knew that Debbie was trying to because of the way she acted. At registration she was a real bitch to me about it. Oh well. Nine points. Wooptydoo.
