my scores and i think my whole school and other schools didn't get our scores ,whats up with collegeboard

Sometimes there are delays, i took mine last year and there was a huge delay, was supposed to take 2 weeks took like 4.

I where I live. We don't have SATs. I didn't even have to do my grade 12, the universities offer solely on grade average and I received my offer of admission before the first midterm of my first semester in grade 12.

Dam I wish it was like that in the US. If I was judged solely on grade point average, I could probably get into any school I wanted.

i got 1650 the first time i took SAT

yes there can be delays

Out of 2400?

I thought the SAT is out of 2600. I dunno, cause I took it in 8th grade

its out of 2400

crap then I'm a failure then -.- had 980 FTW and I got into GMU lol. Well I suck with these kind of tests... plus never study for them so that make me even more stupid.

what does GMU stand for

george mason uni. It was back then when the max score was 1800. But still yeah. funny. Now I'm all As... study my butt off... and during HS I was 3.5 GPA

my GPA is 4.0, but it looks to me its going to be a 3.9 thanks to my english teacher

don't need to outsmart me mister... GPA is nothing! , it is the mind and how you use it!

I have disagree with you

today your highschool transcript is the most important thing colleges look at

and today ppl look at ur experience than they look at ur transcript

so true!

oh and certifications!

standardized testing is retarded, they should only go by GPAs.

even tho SAT and ACT saved me.

i took mine again after i got a 730 writing, 790 math, and 400 reading comprehension.


..LOL
that shit they give you to read is so Farking boring i basically fell asleep.
And it doesn't help when you have to wake up at Farking 7am to take the SAT.

**** that im getting a full ride to Stanford for swimming...so SATs... No me importa...

If you get an athletics scolarship to an NCAA sanctioned school, you are still required to take either the SAT or ACT. You know that, right? By not taking one of the two, you are deemed ineligible by the NCAA. And you have to meet a minimum requirement on the test.

he will take the SAT, however he won't try as hard. I'm warning you of slacking off. A lot of people who get accepted to great schools sometimes get rejected because their senior year performance is terrible

Yup. And if he slacks on the SAT and doesn't meet the requirement, they might even yank his scholarship offer. Unless he's a really highly touted recruit, then they'll help him retake the test and hope he passes the requirement.

u'd have to be really trying to fail senior year, and to **** up the SAT.

anyone here have an alumni for University of Michigan? thats my #1 choice as of now and I'm wondering the level of toughness to get in

That didn't really make sense, could you reword it?

Just talk to the admissions department. You'll get all the requirement information you need. Michigan is a pretty good school, so I'm sure it's somewhat tough. Probably not quite as hard as Stanford lol.

sry, i meant that u'd have to work hard to fail senior year and receive bad scores on the SAT. if he already has a full ride for swimming, then all he needs is average SAT scores and keep his GPA.

lol omg guess theres another option. My parents keep telling me U of M is an uber elite school while my counselor tells me its fairly easy to get in if your doing all the right stuff. I even asked her if a 3.9 GPA is different from a 4.0 when applying and she said no. Plus, I'm even considering an early application, then you have even higher chance. Only downfall is that you can't apply to other schools. So choose one and your done

Yale and Uconn are the closet to me..
