This year is so competitive like I said… I hate how they are changing the SAT on us this year because you ended up having to study for both the old and new one (unless you did really well on the old one).
@AnniiT lol a lot of us are procrastinators and we didn’t even have a chance to study for the old SAT. I’m really happy that they’re changing it.
In contrast to @tinawu98 - I really don’t like the English portion on the new SAT, nor have word problems in math ever been my forte, so I’m glad I finally nailed down the old SAT to avoid the new one :’)) Good luck to everyone taking it in March, though!
@SirSly sameeee are you a high school junior?
Hey guys long time no see. Anyways, I applied to a Chevy Chase Internship related to Computer Science. Here is the link to it: http://www.internships.com/technology/web-developer-content-management-internship
What do you guys think? Would it look good on my resume if my intended major is Computer Science? Would it look good to ivy league schools?
@YoohooAddict I’m sure it’d look good if you got in and made something of it, but the consensus on this website is to never see summer programs/internships as tools to getting into the top universities and instead as something you’d do anyway, regardless of their prestige.
Seems like your passion is in Compsci, so I’d totally do it man!! It looks pretty cool!!
@neoking Yea of course it’s not a means of me getting accepted, but it does increase my chances. Anyhow, thanks for the reply!
Hi! I’m a fellow 2017-er and I’m pretty new to posting on CC (although I’ve read it since freshman year). I really need help with my senior schedule and I was hoping that some of you in the same boat could give me some advice? I posted about it here → http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/1863734-senior-year-schedule-help-online-classes.html. (Also, I don’t really know the posting etiquette on here, so sorry if I did something wrong!)
I can’t believe this Bank of America internship program I applied to doesn’t let us know if we’re accepted until April 30th! I really want to know…especially since there are so many rumors about how selective it is, but they don’t release an acceptance rate…
hi, i dont even know who anyone in this thread is but i just need to get this out there. i am on the verge of a mental breakdown- I can’t seem to reach my goal SAT score, my Junior year grades are worse than ever before, and I can never seem to find time to sleep even on the weekends. I’ve just always wanted to go to a great, prestigious school but now I’m starting to wonder if it’ll be worth it if I have to endure this stress for another 4 years. I just really want to give up.
@jenniferrrrrrr nooooo don’t give up. Take care of yourself. Don’t tax yourself more than you have to. Talk to somebody. If they’ll be supportive, tell your parents; if not, talk to your GC.
The thing that annoys me about the new SAT is that some of the reading questions depend on your answer to the previous one. “What is the best evidence for your answer to the previous question?” You’re pretty much guaranteed to get the second wrong if you get the first one wrong (although I guess the answer choices to the second can give a clue). Luckily I took the old one 
Hey do you guys know if I can still rank in a new school, if I move schools senior year? My parents literally want me to change schools so I can be a val at another school that isn’t as competitive as the one im attending. I really hope the answer is that I can’t rank if I move senior year…my parents are freaking crazy…they didnt even send a good job my way or any type of congrats for all my hard work these past three years…
Your old stuff should carry over, so unless your old stats are better than those of the smartest person at your new school, you won’t be val.
@Cece0499 Some schools require that you go to that school for all four years to be val, so make sure that the school you transfer you does not do that
^*to. Ugh, stupid autocorrect on my phone >:)
@allima Yup! I’m probably gonna apply ED to UPenn.
How did everyone feel about the Feb 20 Sat(assuming some of you did take it), if not none of you taken a standarize test yet then which test will you prefer to take? Act or New SAT?
@Pisaller Wait, why was there an SAT on the 20th?
@neoking the January one got rescheduled for some because of snow.
I took the SAT this past weekend. I felt okay about it, but I found it hard to come up with examples for the essay. Regardless of my score though, I’m done with the SAT and any other standardized testing for college.
