Any idea what the curriculum is at UNCC? I have some e-books that might be useful, but there's no point sending Haskell if you're using Lisp, or C# if you're using Java, or AI if you're focusing on networks.

Yea I'm retaking in may. Aiming for 2000+ but 2100 is the goal. I believe I can do it when I see what I did poorly on.
I really just want to see the campus for myself and determine if its worth it to pay 57k a year for the education vs. the University of Washington's in-state tuition. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford it, but I just want to "try before I buy". I'm fully expecting to see that it is easily worth the cost, but I wouldn't feel comfortable confirming until I've at least been there.
can anyone pm me some or all of your computer science ebooks. I'm starting com.sci freshman this fall at uncc.

Don't really have an idea. maybe its a typical com.sci just for a start. It's the electives on the last years of the curriculum the main reason im going uncc than other unc's. I am feeling/weighing out everything. anything can happen after the freshman year. So, if you can, pm me all you've got math or programming except for AI.. as I have nothing even slightest of intention pursuing AI.

Most of these "arrogant elitists" worked their asses off in order to be accepted. These guys are only a few days into their acceptances, a little bragging over hard work isn't bad.

Or you could display the results of your hard work in the most modest way possible instead of coming off as condescending. Ex: "I'm so lucky to have been accepted into (insert ivy league), I really can't believe it!" instead of "Insert every accomplishment/good score ever achieved in life here".
The only difference between a bragger who works hard and one who doesn't is that one of them is showing off about lies. Why can't hard work and modesty be compatible?
Summary: You can be the greatest person to ever live in history, but if you brag about it, you're still an unmodest jerk

I actually like when people post their credentials so I can compare and have a better basis on what gets accepted. You can list your achievements without it being considered bragging lol. I agree with you regarding some people though

I guess in some cases posting your credentials can be beneficial to other people. But I highly doubt that the people who posted their entire resume did so because of that reason.
