<p>I hate the PSAT. I was one point away from NMSF.</p>
<p>Do you guys have any tricks for the ACT science? </p>
<p>I’m applying with a sort of low, medium, high concept-not too many schools.
Low-ASU Get a ton of money, AZ resident, self explanatory
Med-USC @Shrekhanal maybe I’ll see you there! haha
High-Harvard God please hypnotize the admissions officers lol
3.98/4.7 bout to find out SAT, thinking at least 2250</p>
<p>@GodsGem322 Just shows how messed up those essay graders are… Some of the best writers get <9s

<p>@mizejonathan17 I’ve actually heard good things about TCC. I’ll be taking CLEP’s so I opted out of dual credit/summer classes/etc, but I may end up taking a few pre-reqs there. Oh, and trust me, that essay sucked. xD I shudder when I read it. Lol</p>
<p>I got 218 PSAT. 70CR, 75M, 73W. Should get me NMSF in AZ, USA.</p>
<p>@couga7 wow that’s a stellar gpa. I’m sure you will look competitive wherever you apply</p>
<p>I think I’m starting to reach that part of sleep deprivation where I’m actually energized. Why does collegeboard torment me??</p>
<p>@couga7 That is awesome! Lol my test environment sucked and I wish I had gotten that high. A friend of mine who scored similarly to my scores on the SAT landed a 199. Which sucks because she really, really wanted commended.</p>
<p>@Shrekhanal Only really noteworthy EC I have is scouting and being an Eagle Scout. The rest are just basic stuff that everybody has. Tore ACL so I couldn’t play varsity tennis this year after grinding out JV as a frosh/soph…</p>
<p>SAME, I kinda wanna go out and run a half marathon. Demanding on my scores</p>
<p>So basically I have a good GPA and hopefully SAT, but my ECs are weak and seeing as I’m cookie cutter white christian upper-middle class male that doesn’t help lol But hey admissions is a crapshoot and no reason for any of us to talk ourselves out of shooting high</p>
<p>@couga7
Colleges actually don’t care about quantity; more about quality. Anyone can just sign up for 12 clubs</p>
<p>My EC’s are:
Choir (all four years of HS, one year All-Region Choir)
Tae-Kwon-Do (1st Degree Black Belt, took 7 years to get it)
Leadership (over 150 hours)
Community Service (over 150 hours)</p>
<p>Not sure of my GPA since my mom is still calculating it (hectic year) but she is estimating 3.5 - 4.0. Not counting the Honors classes. </p>
<p>Hmmmmm, I feel like minority status might help me out in some of these southern schools. I’m a low middle class other Asian(Nepal). The Asian population at wake forest and Clemson is 2% and 1.5%</p>
<p>And first generation immigrant/ school</p>
<p>@GodsGem322 Choir and Tae, good mix. Sounds like you were really involved and successful with both. I bet admission officers see that as a big plus!</p>
<p>If anyone needs a distraction, this is one of my current stories - (you’ll have to type www).wattpad.com/38752767-unconditional-surrender-chapter-one-the-high-is</p>
<p>High SATs and ACT scores can help out too. Fingers crossed!! Good luck 20 minutes </p>
<p>@couga7 - I’ve given my life to TKD. I teach it when my dad can’t take his class because his flight comes in late, and he teaches his class because our teacher is currently deployed. It’s a lot of work but it’s fun. Choir - well, you know I’m dedicated when the one time I get 1’s and 2’s on my vocal evals I cry. I cried really, really hard. (Scale is 1-5, 5 being best. I usually get 4’s and 5’s.). </p>
