<p>Yeah, being here as a freshman would’ve stressed me out soo much.
Just found out I’m a NMSF! Yay!</p>
<p>I’m glad I didn’t find this site Freshman year.</p>

No offense, but it seems your list is very prestige driven; as if a list of the top 20 schools. The variety within it is pretty wide (WuSTL vs Penn, Brown vs Columbia, etc).</p>
<p>I’m taking the SATs in October again and hoping (praying) for a 2200.</p>
<p>I am also taking the ACTs this month and shooting for a 35. I got a 34 on a diagnostic test like a month ago. Luck? Maybe. But I’m hoping it’s an indication of how I could potentially do.</p>

Same, I found this site end of sophomore year which gave me just enough time to have a great junior year, and keep being awesome without spending all 4 years of high school trying to get into college. I think I found it for SAT prep actually</p>
<p>I’m probably off the NMSF cutoff by 1 point, I have a 220 in CT and it looks like the cutoff will be 221 or 222 :(</p>
<p>@yayitsme123 I found it when I was deciding b/w the AP and IB program and I made an account in Aprilish of Junior year.</p>
<p>I found CC junior year for SAT prep, lurked for awhile, then joined</p>
<p>@arachne, same here!</p>
<p>I meant April of Sophomore year</p>
<p>Well, I know my list may be a bit prestige heavy, but most of them I could see myself enjoying as I don’t have too specific wants. This is what I like about my list. My dad doesn’t want me to visit until I get accepted, that way, I’m not paying to visit colleges that I won’t have the option to attend. I have seen Rice, UT Austin, and UPenn.</p>
<p>Yale University (Top choice, great academics, architecture, residential colleges, great psychology program, awesome New Haven food, good dining, Yale cooperative spirit, snow, good nightlife)</p>

<p>my88keys is the US news wold report</p>
<p>@my88keys wow that’s really helpful actually</p>
<p>I would do what my88keys did for her schools for mine…but that would require work…and I don’t like work very much.</p>
<p>I created my account beginning of sophomore year. I’m kind of glad I found this site early, it really opened my eyes to fellow ambitious, college-bound kiddies who shared my interests- a real rarity in my small town.</p>
<p>I really miss the camaraderie that existed between the former members of HSL, most of whom don’t post much anymore. I only recognize a few people now- FantasyVesperia, for one, haha. Then again I can’t tell who’s been banned/created new accounts. </p>
<p>Just out of curiosity are there any ‘older’ CC members here?</p>
<p>I don’t really classify as “old.” I created this account sophomore year but didn’t post anything until the end of junior year. I’ve been lurking all of high school though.</p>
<p>I created my account near the middle of sophomore year. I didn’t really post much back then, and I don’t think I joined this thread until sometime last school year.</p>
<p>I felt really awkward not getting NMSF today. Stupid PSAT.</p>
<p>@Repede, are you sure you did not get it?</p>
<p>Also, I created this account in like 8th grade, but I did not start really using it until sophomore year.</p>
<p>Definitely. I got a 192. Apparently 9 people got it, and everyone assumed I was one. That was awkward.</p>
<p>Made this April of frosh year but didn’t really post until sophomore/junior when I moved and realized I’d have to do all the college stuff on my own. 
</p>
<p>I also found it for SAT prep.</p>
