Shooting for the Stars

I hate the SATs with a passion even greater than my desire to enter uPenn. As I open up that test booklet, running my fingers across the soft, synthetic paper from which the booklet is made, I can feel my IQ points dropping at a rate inversely proportional to the amount of time spent at the test center.

I felt that the ACTs were better - if I had studied more diligently for them, I’m almost certain that I would have scored 32+; I was expecting about a 24 or 25, so the 29 surprised me, but imagine the dismay that I felt when I discovered that 31 was the MINIMUM for most uPenn students!

I sincerely hope that I can just do the ACT over, without submitting my SATII scores
