Some state colleges in California are apparently not impressed by theParkland high school shooting survivorwho helped become a voice for aglobal gun control movement.
David Hogg, 17, has so far been rejected by four University of California campuses — UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and UC Irvine,he told TMZ.
According to the UC site, a minimum of 3.4 GPA is required for non-California residents to get in. The Florida teen has a 4.2 GPA and an SAT score of 1270
white man cant get into a college of his choice despite his meritt? I cant believe it
Sebastian Perez
Why is he even applying for college when he probably makes more money working for CNN. I bet he didn't even apply for college.
Lucas Reyes
>UC >trying to get as an out of state white male I am surprised the UC's aren't tripping over themselves to get Hogg. CA is leading antigun state and the colleges LOVE to take shots at anything Trump.
Joshua Clark
>denied by UCLA colored me surprised
Justin Carter
The last thing you need is more security. I think the problem has spoken for itself. You're teaching your kids to repeat what you did, growing up as a dickhead yourself.
How many times can a little kid be called a fag before he's lost his mind and tries to get back at everyone thats done him wrong?
It's a fine line drawn between dark and light. I'm not saying I would, I'm just saying I understand being the butt of the rich kid's jokes and to be tortured till you're insane.
Hmmm Maybe the forced diversity he most likely loves so much is coming back to bite him in the ass
Nathaniel Lopez
>The Florida teen has a 4.2 GPA and an SAT score of 1270 he CLAIMS he has a 4.2 GPA and 1270 score. Not believing unless there's proof. Hell, even clockboy got a buttload of college offers, this kid must be a retard.
Justin Wright
WHITE MALE REEEeeeeeeee
Xavier Powell
Anyone have a link to his "go fund me" page? or has he not made one yet?
Parker Taylor
Better check his privilege. He needs to let POC take the good spots in college. He can take the community college route.
Luis Barnes
hes applying to californian schools because thats where he actually lives.
Connor Wright
>1270 SAT >20 ACT what a fucking brainlet Jesus Christ
Levi Nelson
>4.2 GPA I'm pretty sure the maximum is 4. Also, an SAT score of 1270 is fucking horrendous. If you get anything less than 1900 then just...stop.
Sebastian Rodriguez
Thank God they didn't let him into UCLA
Aaron King
The scores are out of 1600 again
Christian Price
Apparently it only goes up to 1600 hundred again, not 2400. Currently a 1270 is about 85 percentile which is not terrible, but yeah not even close to good enough to get into a high ranked school as a non-resident
Zachary Reed
You know, sometimes I think "poor kid, we really shouldn't be bullying him on the internet so much". But then I remember he might commit suicide if he gets bullied enough.
Evan Myers
lel, I outscored David Hogg. Did they get rid of one of the categories?
Easton Johnson
I really have no idea what they did, they changed it 2 years after i took it
Caleb Clark
Affirmative action has been against state law for the UCs since ‘96.
Lincoln Bennett
Depending on the high school's specific formulas, a 4.2 GPA is easily achievable even with Bs. What matters is his class rank, which is conspicuously absent. And a 1270 composite GPA is very mediocre if he has aspirations of out of state schooling. Should be 1500 at least for a strong application.
Chase Gonzalez
He needs to step aside and make sure his spot in college is taken by a woman of color. It's the right thing to do after all
Hunter Wilson
GPA literally doesn't matter anymore because of grade inflation
>4.2 GPA
HUH HE GOT BETTER THAN PERFECT GRADES XD SO SMURT!!
>20ACT
By an objective, standardized national measure he is a completely average student. Obviously he's touting his SAT which was an aberration.
Cameron Lopez
>global gun control movement are (((they))) done hiding?
Owen Taylor
They merged reading and writing, apparently.
Camden Davis
Lmao
Jacob Thomas
He could always play the "race" card
Tell them he is Jewish and that he wants to become more "diverse"ive
Charles Reyes
he has no plans of going to college until they ban guns so it does it even matter?
Jonathan Garcia
>an SAT score of 1270 Is that 2 score or 3 score? One is a little above average and the other is drooling retard tier. >4.2 If you can go above 4.0 in your school, you go to a school thats propping up its dumbasses for NCLB bucks
Xavier Hernandez
>20 ACT holy shit that's fucking garbage
Adrian Anderson
SATs now are just 2-score, so it's 0-1600. The writing section is now optional, so most students opt to skip it. Of course, if you just write your name and nothing else on the SAT (remember, you get more points for not answering a question than answering it and getting it wrong) you'd score ~400 points.
Oliver Brown
1270 is out of 2400. By criterion of embarrassment we have to believe him. Why would he make up having such a terrible score when he would be much more likely to hide the fact? His score is so low that it’s in the 14th to 24th percentile. That means between 76% and 86% of people taking the same test scored better than he did. The GPA is believable because lots of high schools in America inflate GPAs. They make up weighted scores based on Honors and Advanced Placement courses and are forced to pass kids who should fail.
Robert Flores
It's also "illegal" for medical schools to give entry based on race, but there's no way to enforce that. The gooks have claimed the UC's for themselves.
Sebastian Richardson
Most highschools give a GPA boost above 4 for advanced courses so they can actually rank their highest performing students, otherwise most of the top 10% would have the same rank.
Jace Allen
What are SAT scores ? How are they measured and how does that related to college? Here in the UK we have GCSE (13-16) and then A-Level (16-18) You have to do well at GCSE to go to A-level and then have to do well at A-level to go to UNI. We get graded at A* to F for the subjects.
So if you get straight A's you're off to uni, or even if you're a fucking spastic these days unfortunately
Kayden Campbell
He should have checked the box for 'Other' instead of 'White' and he would have gotten in.
Ethan Gomez
Why is he trying to leave Florida so bad?
Jace Robinson
That SAT score is community college tier. He'll do fine getting his Associates and if he doesn't shit up his grades he can get into a decent school after.
Jason Gomez
It's out of 1600 now. His score is about 85th percentile. Good enough for a state school, not good enough for an out of state university.
James Campbell
He's citing a weighted GPA that's propped up by Florida AP and Dual Enrollment classes (which don't count in other states). In reality his GPA is probably 3.2 or something
Grayson Lewis
Doggone yungins these days.
SAT is the Standardized Admissions Test or something like that. Basically all high school Juniors take it and send their results to colleges. His score is marginally above average.
Gavin Murphy
1270 is not a score someone would make up, it means he's an idiot.
Aaron Davis
When did they change it back?
Cameron Mitchell
>4.2
I’m guessing he gave out his weighted Gpa, which means he’s very likely a B student. That isn’t terrible, depending on which school he goes to, but it makes sense he didn’t get into any of the UC schools. The UCSB is surprising, since I’m fairly sure that’s the most brainlet teir school going.
Overall, he’s an out of state B student applying to rigorous schools. Not even gun control could get him in.
Anthony Bennett
The gooks in general, have better academic standing. That's why they took over UC.
Benjamin Nguyen
the funny thing is he's a fine prospect for a state school, average GPA, average SAT, average ACT, does he really think he gets to go UC with that when he's not a Californian?
Ryder Sullivan
>white >straight
Andrew Rodriguez
My school had accredited college courses for a class of ~20 students, Im aware of the concept. When schools popped up to the 4.5/5.0 system in my time in HS it was to tell the feds that their average kid had a 3.5.then again I was in High school for the Bush presidency so it probably changed like you said
Charles Powell
I am a dull and simple lad Cannot tell water from champagne And I have never met the Queen And I wish I could have all he has got Wish I could be like David Hogg
And when I lie on my pillow at night I dream I could fight like David Hogg And lead the school team to victory Take my exams and pass the lot
He is the head boy at the school He is the captain of the team He is so gay and fancy-free And I wish I could have all he has got Wish I could be like David Hogg
Adavanced placement (AP) or IB (I forget what it stands for) classes are worth more than 4 credit points so you can have over a 4.0 if you get A's in those classes
Parker Smith
Imagine GCSE maths and English rolled up into a really big multiple choice test. They don't sit real exams.
Andrew Davis
I mean, it's not terrible, but it's no mystery why he can't get into UC, especially given that he's a white male from florida.
Carson Green
> Currently a 1270 is about 85 percentile which is not terrible Wait, what? I got a 1400 or something and felt like an utter retard when I saw the results. Is American education really that bad?
Colton Bennett
Nothing would be more satisfying than landing a clean right hook on his mug
Ryan Ross
I don't know. When I took it, I got a 1650, 800 on math, 600 on critical reading, and 250 on writing. The writing part I call bull on, because I had to write about "fairness" in the professional world and the test are scored by liberals.
Ian Phillips
Yeah but then he'd try to have your wanking hand confiscated.
Luke Jenkins
Ahem, *quotas* are against the law. They can still pick and choose as long as it's (((random)))
Jason Sullivan
In texas in particular, the driving force has to due which state law that mandates that state schools have to automatically accept the top, I think it's 8% of graduating texas high school students if they apply, and thus the law requires a way for highschools to rank students at the top end of the pool.
Benjamin Walker
Don't you mean 2400? Aren't there 3 tests for 800 points each?
His sat score is equivalent of maybe 1-2 a at a level. Keep in mind UC admission rate is similar to Oxbridge.
Then people say his act score is 20. That's 50 percentile. Go figure
Brandon Gonzalez
Ahh...now we see, it's not altruism it's self promotion. Typical of the vapid shallow idiots the department of education produces en mass ad infinitum.
I'm pretty sure he would have submitted his applications back in November.
Caleb Mitchell
I looked it up. They started administering the new scoring system in 2016. It’s probabky safe to say he took it after that. It still doesn’t mean anything. Just look at the shit he writes online or listen to the words that come out of his mouth. He’s still a retard.
William Lee
If you took the test before 2016, then you are a retard, because that's when the test switched back to 1600 point totals. If you took it in 2016 or later, you scored in the top 5% or so
Evan Morales
>250
Isn’t that the minimum? What did you write for them to grade it on the same level as a fucking blank sheet of paper?
He posted on Reddit that he bombed the SATs, and his spelling is worse than that of your average 1st grader. I have a hard time believing he has a 4.2 GPA
Leo Rodriguez
Used to be 10%, idk if they did away with it though, they talked about it for a while. Surely they would weigh GPAs from different schools and not just compare raw numbers that were on different scales....
Leo Johnson
lol. His fame whoring at all costs may be backfiring on him...what college wants this kind of attention. It's like, maybe the colleges think Hogg expects them to provide security always protecting him wherever he goes on campus, because he is "special".
Hogg just drips with being a Diva type, as well.
I also am puzzled that CNN or some other Left propaganda outlet hasn't offered him a job yet.
Andrew Rogers
He obviously loaded up on the flower arrangement classes to pad his abysmal performance elsewhere
Colton Parker
>Jews >White
Tyler Stewart
That's the one I took. I didn't know they changed it to make idiots look smaht.
Liam Peterson
t. 80 IQ redneck
Charles Cooper
He's a white male. he has to actually prove himself
Jose Bennett
Also, I am surprised that a 27 is close 90th percentile
Ryder Nelson
It is weird for Cali
Caleb Kelly
Well that makes more sense. Our school did it because they didnt want to lose their funding when half the school was dropouta and the other half were a daily wake and bake. If we had that system a major drama wouldnt have played out for our valid victorian or whatever it is
Benjamin Fisher
lol 1870 is below average for UC Berkeley. How did he think he was going to get in.
Wyatt Morales
It's a public highschool in south florida, if the curriculum was at all rigorous, half the kids would drop out. Fuck, they probably do anyway
Benjamin Cooper
Max score was 2400 back when I took it, and they had recently switched from 1600, so they keep changing it.
Isaiah Gomez
200 is the bare minimum. I basically said Life isn't fair because there exist people who can do the job you want to do, and that people like professional athletes can't be replaced by people in wheelchairs while maintaining the same quality of product. They wanted me to write about fairness, and I told them the real world isn't fair.
Jordan Price
>The Florida teen has a 4.2 GPA > SAT score of 1270
not fucking possible.
1270 means he would not get a 4.2 GPA unless his grades were doctored.
I had a 1410 SAT score and got a 2.98 GPA got a lot of letters from colleges because fuck GPA, you are smart, here, come to Texas A&M, Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, Michigan State (family alumni) Ohio State (Family alumni) Purdue, and various other smaller colleges
