We have two weeks off starting on the week of March 21st. But we don’t have any snow days here in California to make up.
My spring break is 12 days total including the weekends. My school gave us so many snow days this year and we only used one of them.
We had no snow days this year 
@glassflowers same
Neither did we, but I live in Florida and we never have :))
We usually get a few cold days in Illinois because it ends up being -30 after the wind chill. The winds are usually 40-60 mph. This has been pretty warm as it is already in the 60s so no cold or snow days. Guess global warming is kicking in.
Most of you guys have taken the SAT, so I’m sure you all experienced the whole score report issue. I just took the SAT on Saturday, but I’m stuck on which schools to choose to send my free score reports to. It’s so frustrating because I don’t know what I got, but I have an expiration date on my free score reports, so I have to decide now where to send them.
What did you guys do when you faced this issue?
@SockandBoots if you think you qualified for National Merit, send to them – and they don’t care if it’s low and you retake! Also, if you felt pretty good about the test, maybe send it to a safety school or two, so that if they’re lower than you’d like it won’t be a problem.
@SockandBoots I sent my free score reports even though I didn’t know how well I’d do. I sent two to instate schools (one to a UC and one to a Cal State, since I’d read that if I did that all the UCs and all the Cal states would have my score since they share) and two to reach private schools. Luckily I did well so it wasn’t a problem. Maybe knowing that you are sending the scores will make you perform better. Or maybe it’ll make it worse…
I hoped for the best and sent it to some reaches/some matches (especially reaches notorious for good financial aid programs - Vanderbilt/USC).
I honestly regretted it because I sent them before taking the test but since I did well, it wasn’t a problem :’)
I think @pseudoprimal 's advice is best: send them to safeties if you think you didn’t do so hot, because you can send score reports (for $11/ea) after you receive your score if you did better than you thought!
@pseudoprimal I wish I knew whether or not I qualified for National Merit. If it turns out that I don’t, what will they think about receiving my score report?
Has anyone ever been to one of those joint information sessions for colleges? How was it?
@SockandBoots they won’t care, and even if they did, you would never know and it would have no effect on you. I sent SAT scores to NMC when I took the SAT June of Sophomore year, (before I’d even taken the PSAT for NM!) and it was absolutely fine.
I’m curious. Why would you guys send the score reports if you’re not sure if you did well or not? I took the October SAT, and although I felt pretty well after taking it, I didn’t send the scores just in case. Turns out I did well, but I didn’t want to take the risk.
@neoking well, the reason why I’m sending them is because collegeboard gives 4 free score reports, but there’s a time limit on it, so in order to not waste those free score reports, I want to send them to some colleges. I mean, yes, I don’t know my scores, but I don’t want to waste the opportunity.
I just wish collegeboard didn’t give me a restriction on when I could use my free score report. I would rather know my scores first, but apparently collegeboard values money too much.
Why are you guys sending score reports this early?
I get that it’s because there’s a time limit, but shouldn’t you send them your senior year?
Again, financial resources are actually not infinite, so if there are schools that you can send your scores to for free, and there’s little or chance it would hurt you (e.g. schools that require all scores anyways), why not? The schools, generally, can deal with it, and it can save you forty bucks.
Because I’d rather not pay money later when I can do it for free now and it doesn’t make a difference if you send them junior year instead of senior year.
What do you guys wanna major in?
I’m having trouble choosing between Aerospace Engineering and Physics. Practicality vs. Interest.
