Are there any forums/sites for AVERAGE students. Some that don’t have ‘‘modest’’ people with 2250SAT 4.0uw/5.0w and a buzzillion EC’s thinking they are failures because they have ‘‘low’’ SAT’s? I’m looking for threads/ websites where people with ‘‘bad’’ GPA’s like 3.5 don’t get trashed on but instead given helpful advice. Anything?
I know right?! The ACT section has some really smart folks hating on themselves for making high twentys!
What you have to remember is that the students, more often than not, who sign up for an internet forum about academic improvement are pretty darn intense and really care about their scores and education. Lots of folks make low twenty’s on an ACT, don’t give a darn, and simply enroll in a local community college. Same goes for other standardized tests. If you are comparing your scores up against the average of the over achievers that run this forum, you need to guard against getting down on yourself.
Good topic.
