Interesting to see an old IHB post from March / April 2014. Median Sale Price was $690k which is where Johns Creek is today. Johns Creek's median home price used to be 33% of Irvine's median home price 15 years ago, but today Johns Creek's home are current 45% of the median home price in Irvine...

No offense taken Trojan. Hope your father gets better. I lost my dad in 2012 and i still think about him time to time. Try to spend as much quality time with your dad as you can as to be able to call your dad is truly a gift.

UCLA from Northwood High. My argument is that more than 100 Asian students applying from Northwood High would have the academic qualifications to be admitted by UCLA and UC Berkeley Admissions, but limits the seats available for this top IUSD High school. Do you agree with me that it is a huge...

Are you sure the high performing students are not even not into these UC Schools? Merced, Riverside, and Santa Cruz? If that is the case, there is something seriously wrong with the UC admissions system. I am curious to know how subjective the admissions for UC is now with out SAT scores...

IHO, isnt the real bottle neck not the freshman admission but the IUSD system? Lets pretend you have a smart daughter who was constantly praised by teachers as a gifted student in elementary and middle school. She enters high school at a competitive IUSD schools and makes a 4.1 GPA with couple...

I read about a student who took this 3/2/3 path and transferred into UCLA engineering and graduated at the age of 20. Perhaps did only 1 year at IVC and he already had 60 credits with DE and AP after 1st year of community college. Sorry it was 3 years at IUSD, 1 year at IVC, and 2 years at...

Any parents here who has their son or daughter graduate high school in 3 years in a top IUSD school like Uni or Northwood, attend IVC for 2 years and attend UCLA or Cal for 3 years in a STEM major?

Thanks Morekaos, Found this interesting thread by an Irvine parent. Appears that a recent IUSD grad said the same thing that the system is a mess. In conclusion it seems if the goal of the high school student to get into a top UCs or elite university, it is best to attend a 7 or 8 rated high...

Morekaos. Found an old post you wrote 2 years ago. Can you please explain what you meant by this?

I think you misunderstood. 3.0 is the min GPA to maintain the HOPE scholarship. Many Tech students lose it after their first year as the competiton is brutal. They call it the Freshman Bloodbath. Didnt i mention that a chinese kid i played tennis with had a 1530 SAT / 4.4. GPA and got rejected...

I dont disagree with you. It is sort of like a GA resident high senior choosing between UGA, Georgia Tech, or USC to study Finance. USC has a stronger Brand than UGA, but an equivalent Brand with Tech. Is the Business education at USC superior than UGA or Tech? I would say the education would...

What a beautiful song. Music like this inspires Panda to start designing again. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit just as it...

Johns Creek just built a very nice park in Johns Creek called Calley Park. There are eight pickball courts, 3 Beach volley ball courts and a 2 huge soccer fields. I take my boys and play volleyball with the high school kids every Wednesday nights. This Park seems to be a hot spot where the young...

Qwerty, Didn't want to upset Test writing on his Irvine thread so I will post here. Johns Creek City was incorporated in December 1st, 2006. The city incorporates the best neighboodhoods in Duluth, Alpharetta, and Suwanee. The high school clusters are Chattahoochee High School, Johns Creek High...
