[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]C/D  high school student here. Went to nova at age 20 after spending two years smoking pot and waiting tables. I then transferred to uva with the guaranteed admissions program. Im now making 288k/yr as a professional. Just went to my HS clads reunion and Im more professionally successful than probably 95% of my graduating class.[/quote]

1. You're an outlier. Basically one in a million.
2. What sort of high school? These turn-around stories are always like some slacker rich kid that was at a Philly prep school.[/quote]

Local VA public high school outside the beltway.  My parents were solidly middle class.

Quite a few people go to nova because they couldn't focus in HS and transfer to great VA schools. HS just didnt engage me. Frankly I found it boring. I didn't learn anything profound in college either, but i can read people well and then make adjustments. It has served me well.[/quote]

Selling what?[/quote]

Oh, really?  Are you trying to make a slam against the ^^PP?  Major flop.[/quote]
