<p>Ooh, thanks for the warning, brand_182! I’ve got about 5 weeks of summer left, so I’m thinking I’ll spend a little time studying hardcore for the ACT. Is thre a specific book you used? I’m hoping lots of studying now will pay off later. I’ll be taking them in September too. Good luck!</p>
<p>Why not check out Harvey Mudd. For your major, physics, its a great match. physicists attended top universities physics classes and found that Mudd had the top professors.</p>
<p>zpmqxonw - I really wish I had used it last time, but if you’ve got the time to order it off of Amazon or something, I’d get ACT for Brainiacs. I will DEFINITELY be using it before the next ACT b/c it focuses only on the most difficult questions for each section. Good luck to both of us!</p>
<p>Oh, I haven’t heard of that one before, brand_182. Thanks for the tip! I’m using the Official ACT Guide (I think that’s what it’s called) right now. It’s pretty good so far, I think I read the tests were actually real ones (the prep book is written by the test company), so hopefully it will help :)</p>
<p>And Jason, I’ll definitely have to look into Harvey Mudd. I knew they had a good engineering program, but didn’t realize they were strong in physics too! I think it would also be good to have another match school right now, as my list is probably pretty top-heavy. I really only have UWashington as a safety and I think the rest are mostly reaches. </p>
<p>Thanks again to everybody :)</p>
<p>Not to brag or anything, but zpmqxonw, go to <a href=“http://www.physics.hmc.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.physics.hmc.edu</a> and read the excerpt from our February '04 external review (written in italics). For the record, the three profs who reviewed us were from Swarthmore, Williams, and Caltech.</p>

<p>that’s how u will get into MIT.</p>
