When did you start wanting to know about colleges?

<p>NoFX, I know what you mean about the math section. I got a 660, took a prep course, then got a 650 (yes, the course made my score go down). The third time I took it, I just did three practice math sections the night before the test… and randomly scored a 760.</p>

<p>All of which served to convince me that the SAT is ********.</p>

22

<p>CC was the site that got me all obsessed with colelge/school/grades etc, before that I was so innocent hahaha</p>

<p>I remember when I thought it was gonna be so easy to get an 800 in math ( considering that it was my best subject in school) hahaha I never got past 740</p>

23

<p>um…in 7/8 grade i was interested in college, and what i might do (i’m not doing that at all) but then in like early 10th grade, right before PSAT i found out about PSATs and SATs and stuff like that</p>

24

<p>yes, actually… well I only applied to one and I planned on just going to an in-state college…
but yeah… uw-madison for me in the fall!</p>

25

<p>Well congradulations. =)</p>

26

<p>Start of senior year, when I realized that I had an SAT to take. =P
Needless to say I didn’t have great EC’s.</p>

27

<p>thanks, I don’t know if its WI or just the area of the state that I live in, but like no one at all takes the SAT’s… then again, having 1000 people in the town means we’re so advanced</p>

28

<p>It’s okay. I live in Iowa and as far as my estimations go, 3-5 people in my class (of over 330) took the SATs.</p>

29

<p>I graduated with 29… oddly enough… I’m moving to IA like 3 weeks before I leave for college… to Clinton… ever been there/know anything about it because I’ve never even been there myself</p>

30

<p>I’ve driven through it. Other than that, I know nothing other than that it’s probably the size of my pinky… -_-;</p>

31

<p>and is that good or bad?.. well i guarantee anything is huge compared to my town now… and i know they have a minor league baseball team!.. (sports fanatic=me)</p>

32

<p>Junior year-ish.</p>

33

<p>freshman year …</p>

34

<p>Freshie year. Our honors english teacher made us compile a college portfolio that year and research prospective colleges.</p>

<p>ahh, we were all so young then. i remember how everybody printed up a copy of princeton’s stats from collegeboard, wanting to go there, and put it in their college portfolio. oh, how things have changed!</p>

35

<p>end of junior year, around AP tests and SATs.</p>

36

<p>I still haven’t yet.</p>

37

<p>In 8th grade, when I had this idealistic “I am so going to Columbia!” outlook on life. Then that morphed into “I am so going to Oberlin!” in about 10th grade. In 11th grade, I said “I am so going to the University of Washington!” Then I joined CC and say “I am so going to anyplace that is crazy enough to accept me!”</p>

38

<p>9th or 10th i guess…</p>

39

<p>I think that I was first interested the summer after 8th grade. That’s when I got my first college letter.</p>

<p>Wow, that’s a really sad story. I was about to cry after you said that. Seriously.</p>
