Nervous anon? Or just trying to inflate your sense of self-worth?
>>678415516
Junior wondering what my chances of getting into certain colleges are.
>>678415768
Assuming your not aiming for an ivey league, just maintain a 3.0 and you'll be fine. Score at least a 1600 overall on your SAT. It's really nothing to worry about. People just over hype it.
>>678416014
Trying to get into CalTech, so pretty close to that.
>>678415768
My GPA was ass in HS, 2.7, but I got a 2130 on SAT. Just don't shit on the SAT and have a 2.5+ and you should be fine with most colleges honestly

If there's a particular college you want to get into but don't at first you can always go to a 2 year school, get good grades, save some money, and then just transfer in
Texas A&M University
94.5 average in high school (but wasn't even top 25%)
2010 SAT score
Literally wrote "I do not want to go to this school but I am applying because my parents want me to be part of your cult" in one of my application boxes. Clearly they didn't care.
Moved from Russia 1 year ago.

MIT
guys, i have nothing against you, but honestly - American people, you are stupid a little bit, especially in math/IT/physics. I was the worst and most stupid kid in my school in Russia. I never had any education more than just average school, but in the US i am the fucking king.
Really for that.

PE?
community college right now a 2.7 hopefully an overall 3.0 when i finish in the fall my associates
i-is that acceptable for most colleges?
>>678417960
all depends on the program
>>678417775
Nah Geophys. Even though I have alot of PE friends, I still sort of laugh at them because they chose the major for the money. But oil is shit now and their job placement rate is barely above 10%. Mine is shit too but at least my field is interesting.
Columbia

and 1300 on SAT but with an associates to most places it doesnt matter. I had a pretest of 1700 but i had a nervous breakdown senior year high school. i might go to trade school
>>678418139
What extracurriculars did you have?
>>678415768
Ethan? This is your mother get off the internet at once!
>>678418107
lol ya, i mean PE is interesting too. Just very particular skill set. Some guys are still getting jobs in the field, about 85% are just pumpers though.
>>678418268
nothing wrong with that brother, do what's right. if you're gonna be bear, be a grizzly.
>>678417520
Yup. Took all the AP classes I could. I ended up passing four AP exams out of five. For my major, I could only transfer two of them.
FSU
3.8
34 ACT
>>678417384
troll pls. Russians are the most stupid.
>>678418690
Why you are in FSU with these scores?
HS Seniorfag here (yes I'm 18)
4.1 GPA (weighted)
32 ACT
deciding between University of Illinois, University of Minnesota, and Ohio State
>>678418463
Ehh I dont find it particularly interesting. And even though our school is known for having a good PE department, their curriculum is about 20 years behind and cheating is RAMPANT when compared to other departments. I had to take a sedimentology class that was predominantly petros, and during our tests I could look around and see over half of the students with papers or notecards on their laps. Its ridiculous and they wonder why every non-petro at our school takes their major as a joke.
>>678418594
How many AP classes did you take throughout the course of your high school career? And was your 3.9 unweighted or weighted?
>>678418893
Because it's a great school?
Love the atmosphere and at the end of the day, any major uni. will get you the job. I chose to go to the Uni. I'd have the most fun at and fuck the most hot chicks. 3 years later and many other uni. Visits later, I'm so happy I came here
>>678418945
oh yea, cheating is bad here. it's mainly all the africans and arabs though. africans all cheat between each other. arabs have arab tas help them. they'll speak in arabic during tests and the prof doesn't know shit.
I dropped outt of high school, got my GED the next then attended OSU instead. So yeah you can get into state colleges with no highschool diploma and not even being a senior, encase anyone was wondering. No ACT or SAT

what OSU, there are like 3
also were you at the main campus or one of those regional ones
>>678419084
I took five AP classes. Two English, two social studies/history. Failed World History. Passed American History or something. Could only transfer the English credits. 3.9 is weighted. I can't remember what my unweighted was.
>>678419259
Ohh the arabs and asians in petro cheat hard. Last year there was a scandal where some asian guy paid a TA 3 grand for a test key. Him and two of his friends got 100s on a test where the average was a 38 (yes, the teacher sucked and always gives out impossible tests). But asians, only being book smart, didnt realize that getting a perfect score on an exam in that class is a big red flag to the teachers. They basically held a sign on their chests that said "I CHEATED."
>>678419574
What were your extracurriculars?
>>678419574
3.8 UW carries tons more than a 3.9W
Think my weighted was 4.42
Go noles
>>678419352
I almost went to boulder instead of mines. I thought I wouldnt be able to handle the partying and still do well in school. Little did I know that Id find all the people at mines who party and do drugs. I still became a semi coke addict. But I still manage a 3.2 so its good.
>>678419352
lol, i had only 6 years of school (6th grade) in my country (poland) and got 23 on act.
>>678417403
Please don't hurt me like this.
Guys, I have a horrible GPA (near 3, may be even 2.8) but 35 ACT. Can i get in Ivy League and get a full cost grant?
I have no income at all.
>>678419567
Main campus Stillwater Oklahoma. I can't believe I actually got in only school I applied to but strong engineering down here oddly enough, with T Boone and Exxon donating out the fucking ass. I would not recommend going here however, Stillwater is literally just the college.
Central Michigan U

ACT 29
I work in politics now, so I'm a giant twat pretty much.
>>678420080
Depends. What are your extracurriculars?
>>678419694
President of a club for two years (Japanese club. Was a total weeb)
Six week study abroad sophomore year.
That's it. No physical activity, no community service.
>>678419742
Probably why I didn't get into UT like I wanted. I notoriously forgot to do/turn in assignments in high school so it's a wonder my grades weren't lower. Especially with math. If I didn't understand a single question on a math worksheet, I just wouldn't turn in the paper.
>>678420080
fuck no you can't
high ACTs look absolutely awful without a decent GPA backing them up, it makes you look smart but lazy and that's not what colleges want
>>678415221
Towson, 2.7ish in high school, 2.0064 in college, never took SAT/ACT
>>678420359
I am from other country far away, not sure if my extracurricals are even paid attention here. Ehm. I won some competitions in IT and Math, I was the president of some shit like robotic club and 2 more clubs like that, i played guitar for 6 years.
Why I can't just lie, lol?
>>678420519
No, not with a full cost grant. You might be able to get in with good essays, but you don't have enough extracurriculars to bolster what you already have. Ivy Leagues tend to take a holistic approach, so they'll look at everything you have to offer, which means a focus on extracurriculars. The presidency shows that you have leadership in their view, but no actual passion for anything, which is what they're really looking for in their standout students.

Location is very important, I'll tell you my story and experiences
>be me, poorfag
>attend low-income school
>grade inflation was insane -- these faggots have an A in this AP class? most of them will fail the AP exam
>you got a 4.0, but a 1500 SAT? what the fuck?
>oh shit, that was our valedictorian... I don't think anyone at my school got more than 2000 on the SAT or 30 on the ACT
>get 3.8 gpa or higher with ~1500 SAT score ----> get accepted into the mid-tier UC's (think Davis, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz)
>or... be native american
>have shit grades
>get accepted to UC Berkeley
And our fucking Chinese valedictorian got rejected from UCB while that Indian got in.. I kinda felt bad for him
>>678421143
Unweighted or weighted GPA? And what extracurriculars did you have?
>>678421212
woops, I meant to say Chinese salutatorian
Had a GPA of around 2.7 from not giving a fuck about school, but an ACT score of 32 so I was able to get into the best college in my area (University of Tennessee).
I dropped out and started a business one year in, I'm now 1000% happier than I ever was in school.
>>678421453
Give me some money, I need a new computer, please?
>>678421453
probably lost out on about $10,000 dollars annually in merit money if your GPA was a point higher
>>678420994
Ahahaha I wasn't the person asking if I could get into Ivy League!
>>678421453
Smart move, hope it works out bortha. College on the state level has become highschool 2.0 its essentially worthless, barely above blue collar getting out.
>>678421723

Goucher College. 2.4 GPA. 1700 SAT, 32 ACT.
Not even sure how I got in.
>>678420519
Huh. I might have a better shot of getting into the college I want then. 4.3 weighted GPA, going to take 11 APs by the time I graduate. Extracurriculars are organizer for a coding club, and member of a robotics club, as well as a member of JV tennis and 30 hours of volunteering as a math tutor.
>>678421775
Thanks, I hope it does too. I was so depressed while in school I was legitimately considering shooting myself. I just stopped going to class.
I eventually realized I didn't want to become a programmer - I wanted to make money by becoming a programmer. The key there is my main goal was making money - so I said fuck college and started making software to sell which allowed me to start on my goal immediately instead of waiting 4 years, trying to get a job, and following other peoples rules making a decent salary.
Now I'm super happy, content with life, and excited as fuck to see what the future holds. College sets you up for a predefined path - you generally know what the future holds if you stay in school. You'll get out, get your job in your field, and then work until you retire, die, or quit.
>>678421991
Why did you choose that particular college?
>>678422009
Nice dude you're living the dream, I had the choice between beach school and mountain school and while I love hiking and the snow and shit I yearn for just wearing a tank top and burying myself up to my mouth in the sand tbh
>>678422464
what's your ACT
>>678422648
I took the SAT and I haven't received scores yet, but I'm expecting to get ~1650/1800.
Colorado State
4.0+ in highschool
2.5 in College kek. I stopped giving a shit.
>>678415221
I attended USC, where I played Rugby and soccer (as a walk on, the team was far too good at the time for me to expect a scholarship there like I had for the out of state schools). My high school GPA was 4.0 (at a private school, we didn't have the 4.5 option and we didn't have C's or D's, you were either an A/B student or you were failing) and my SAT score was 1420 when 1600 was the max.
I dropped out after I finished my first Sophomore semester because I had to pay for it myself as well as work full time and eating became fairly important once I realized I couldn't do both.
>>678422804
out side of the elite universities you should be good for anywhere
I'm just getting started with my education.
I was taken from school in the 8th grade, enrolled in a home school program but never did my work.
So far my GED scores are 157 for language arts and 161 for social studies. You need a 145 to pass and 165+ is an "honors" score.
I didn't study at all and this new test has gotten national attention multiple times due to it's difficulty. I was class of 2009, and haven't picked up a book since the 8th grade and I'm 25 now.
I feel there's hope for college but I don't know...... Maybe one day I'll belong here.
>>678418139
You a Columbia Fag too?
The food here is shit.
Transferring to UPenn at the end of my sophomore year.
>>678423285
That's the thing. I'm hoping to get into CalTech, which is extremely competitive. What would you say are my chances?

Food's not THAT bad. Butler is bullshit though, especially the whole "you can't bring in your own food but have to buy it here" bullshit.
Sucks you're transferring after having to take two years of shitty core classes
>>678423718
SAT is a little too low, talk it some more and see if you can get it in the 2000s or higher
>>678416249
If you don't get accepted first try don't worry. Go with your second option and try again. I finished my AA at a community college and was accepted to Georgia Tech for aerospace engineering.
>>678424105
Hopping from Ivy league to Ivy league is a lot easier than entering an Ivy league as a freshman. Got in here mainly because of the hook ups through a HS program they got there in Lerner hall. Besides, I wanna do Business, so I'm shooting for Wharton
>>678424105
Also, their scrambled eggs for breakfast isn't even real eggs. It's awful. And fuck NYC, been here for too long. Trying to fuck the white bitches in Pennsylvania.
>>678424313
Cool man, good luck. I mean, I'm not saying you should stay at Columbia, and I honestly have no idea if there are core classes at UPenn. Just the core shit at Columbia is rough. You have a good teacher for CC?
>>678424520
Fuck nyc for sure. Wicked overrated city. I mean, it's awesome in some ways, but so pricey, night life is overrated, etc. I do think CU's campus is beautiful though.

>>678424987
fuck imaginary numbers. I have to do that for my math supplements for my physics major
>>678424201
No, SAT when I took it was out of 1600, 1800 if you took the essay. So if it was with the old system, I would've had ~2200.

Can actually support this.
I'm Indian, am in CMU now. Back in India, there was like so much competition, and I wasn't even the smartest kid, although I was maybe in the top 5 or so.
The students at CMU aren't so great at math though (I'm in a field of CS where math is used A LOT), and I find I'm easily the smartest one here. There's a russian dude here who knows his shit though.
tl;dr - americans suck at math
