I graduated 28th of 517 in my High School class with a 3.92 GPA. I scored 2110 on the SAT and 29 on the ACT, from which I have been awarded various scholarships and grants (~$15,000). I have studied abroad in Hamburg, Deutchland. I completed my undergraduate studies for at the University of Washington, Seattle (http://www.washington.edu). I completed the undergraduate requirements for the School of Architecture and my application was denied. I am currently attending DigiPen Institute (https://www.digipen.edu/) of Technology, pursuing a Bachelors of the Fine Arts in Production Animation. DigiPen's undergraduate application requires a portfolio. Mine, along with a list of current and previous employers can be found by click my signature or this link (http://www.dawnunderheaven.net/).

e: I am planning on applying for a Pixar Internship next week for this upcoming summer.

Didn't graduate high school because I was to bored out of my fucking mind to finish English... Going to challenge the English 30-1 exam whenever I feel like getting a diploma.

NCEA level 3 with merit. Equivalent of a top %30 american high school diploma without any effort. Apparently it's easier in america too (heard from mates in exchange programs):x.

About a week off finishing my intermediate year before entering engineering school at uni.

Graduated high school in 05, currently studying at a community tech college for a Computer Sciences - Technology degree. I plan on transferring sometime, jut not exactly sure when and where to.

I've been trained, but not actually certified, for a number of years by A+ standards, and for a little while, held an internship for the tech department at the local public school system (let go due to budget cuts and crap, though :/).

Wait, you can actually fail highschool? Hah.


NVQ level 2 in engineering operations
Hah, NVQ level 2, what a joke huh? mine was in engineering too, had to make some metal stuff. Wow that was so long ago.


As for me, these are the ones that really matter, I have 4 GCSEs (=\), BTECH National Diploma is Software Engineering, and working on my degree.

Yeah NVQ2 was pretty fail, i ended up calling NVQ1 the retard's level which i am glad i skipped entirely.
The rest of what i posted was practical engineering operations level 3, advanced diploma, now that was a pretty good course, out of 9 of us only 4 passed haha.
Serves my class right for being a bunch of dumbasses who would try to hand in the same coursework between em but with different header and footer.
Never did like that lot...

Now now, this is qualifications, not forklift comparison! Okay, actually... it probably wouldn't because it was old and not very well maintained. But who knows? I never got the chance to test it on the ice much.
