@allista I just ordered my ACT scores be sent today, so that doesn’t sit well with me…I always forget to do it early on.
I ordered mine in the middle of the month as well. I’m still pending. Lol. I ordered another set Friday, so those are understandably pending. I don’t understand how slow it is.
Does anyone know why it takes so long to send? Aren’t they all just electronically transmitted?
Also, pretty sure CB sends them out in batches. So, like, if one of their dates is the 31st of December, it won’t matter if you sent them on the 16th or the 30th–they’ll all be sent on the 31st.
@shadyconcepts I need to finish my Penn and then JHU toooooo… aggghhhhh
My mother just told me her highest level of education completed was less than a year of college in Mexico after I put her under “high school diploma” for my EA MIT app. I’ll tell them about it when I submit my updates in a week or so, but I’m really concerned they’ll think I lied to boost my application. I mean, I’m still first generation by their definition, but it’s different when your parent has no college experience vs actually having started college. I hope they realize that I was entirely unknowledgeable about it and don’t think I blatantly lied. :-SS :((
@XoXdreamerXoX She didn’t get a college diploma though right? was there an option for “entered college” or something?
I think you’ll be okay!
@chubii There was a “some college” option.
@XoXdreamerXoX ohhh… still think you’ll be fine!! I doubt they’ll cross you off the list just for this…
For those stressing about your College Board scores not sending, I’m pretty sure that I’ve read that they get sent, but you have to wait for your college to log on and download them. Most colleges are on break, so maybe that’s the reason.
Anyway, if you’ve sent them before the deadline you won’t be penalized.
@XoXdreamerXoX i think you’re good lol but if you’re having second thoughts, then go ahead and update the app
@XoXdreamerXoX don’t worry! from what i have heard, MIT doesn’t overthink / stress on things like that…
good luck!
I’ll just tell them in my next update. I have to tell them I’m the co-founder of a rocketry club at my school as well. Hopefully they put more weight on one than the other, lol.
I regret not applying EA to the schools that offered it. I seriously cannot wait until April 1st.
@Chrysanthemum14 same x 1000
I honestly can’t wait to come back to my high school next year and give some of the juniors/seniors some advice
Yeah applying EA was one of the best decisions I made this year
I finally started an online store and I’m really excited to see how it goes. Here’s to hoping someone actually buys something. :))
Gaaaah…just went on results threads while doing the Common App and almost considered rescinding all of my applications and just going to my state school.
CC is a very scary place.
Same here, at least one thing CC does is humble you for sure
@IBScholar That’s so cool! What do you sell? I wish your store future success
I only go on this thread and a few other because peoples’ attitudes/egos irritate me so much.
