^Thanks for keeping us up to date on the Twitter posts. Looking forward to AP Spanish Language!
I will keep my eyes open for Spanish Lang. Historically, it has been one of the last tests that he posts about but this year could be different.
Yesterday he tweeted about WHAP and Art History if anyone cares about those exams.
Thanks for the AP exam updates! We dropped D20 at Governorâs School on Sunday. Havenât heard much from her since, so hopefully she is having a blast! The instructors seemed really amazing. Happy she can have this experience.
Congratulations to all done with testing! To borrow from past yearâs parent thread posters: Onward and upward! Love the kid on the couch.
Re: English Lang scores - so about 45% didnât even make a 3? As an English/Journalism major, that is quite unsettling.
@Cheeringsection
Well said and couldnât agree more.
Congratulations @ShrimpBurrito @Octagon!
DS 20 got his ACT score this morning and it was an improvement.
Scores are still asymmetric, E25 M31 R34 S35 for a composite 31, but I think heâs probably done. Iâll pay for the September test if he wants, but heâs probably done. He improved 4 points in English and 1 point in everything else. With Summer regression, I think that this is probably his peak.
He went from the lowest 30 to the highest 31; one more point in any subject would have been a 32.
Now off to 6 crucial weeks of his club sport if heâs going to get recruited.
And so it goesâŠ
Got the ACT 2020 Newsletter 45 minutes. Not really what you want to see when you are waiting for a score.
Oh, and I hate phone keyboards
Anyone here familiar with Hofstra? Considering a visit this weekend. DD is moderately interested, but majorly interested in the carrot of a Broadway show while weâre in the NYC area anyways 
Sheâs thinking Comp Sci if that matters. If we go, weâll probably informally walk Fordhamâs campus too.
June ACT went up nicely! She messed up on time management in math the first time and didnât finish the section, but that wasnât an issue this time. Sheâs now done with testing (except for next years APs).
@stencils We havenât been, but we really liked the guy at our local college fair. He sweet talked D enough to almost put it on the short list. I liked that he said no one pays sticker price and to check out their tiered merit awards.
@stencils I keep meaning to call them to see when their Civil Engineering program will be ABET accredited. If itâs in the next year, itâs a possibility for my son. Iâve heard itâs in a not so great neighborhood but havenât visited ourselves.
@taverngirl My older D goes to Temple in Philly, and also considered NJIT in Newark, which are two of the poster children here on College Confidential for ânot so great neighborhoodâ discussions. But at this point, it would take a lot for a neighborhood to really scare us!
Temple has CivE and ABET cert, by the way, and my D really loves it there (sheâs in engineering but not CivE)⊠some really nice perks with honors if you qualify as well.
@cshell2 yes, when we went for a tour and info session they told us that you can and should sign up for housing right away when it opens even if you havenât been accepted yet. There is a housing deposit, but Iâm not sure how much. I think it opens at the beginning of November, and you can then change your housing preferences up until the deadline without losing your virtual spot in line. Weâre definitely going to do it because itâs strongly his first choice and he wants to be in a specific LLC.
I didnât know Duluth did it that way, but itâs nice that thereâs no need to hurry up and deposit. I encouraged my S20 to think about it since itâs only 2 hours from home but right now he says even if he gets into his second choice college at the U he really wants to stay in the Cities. (Iâm trying not to think about what if he doesnât get in at all; hopefully that wonât happen. First choice is CBS and second is CFANS.)
@stencils I live near Hofstra and have been there for various classes and events with my kids. If you have any questions about the surroundings you can PM or ask here.
@stencils Hooray that your DD has finished testing! Now on with the rest of life.
How and when do we get individual scores?
@Lucky4me2be Do you mean ACT scores? If so, one logs into ACT account and you click on âscores.â It was released yesterday but they say if not released then, it can be released in batches over the next several weeks. An e-mail is sent when scores are available.
Congratulations to those whose students got the ACT score they wanted, and/or who are done testing and moving forward! We decided to wait for July to give more space between the end of the school year and the test but I kind of wish it was over already (I can imagine S20 feels that even more strongly).
