i realllly dont want to go to community college before university, and although i know i should have thought of that sooner: i didnt. my gpa should be at least a low 2. something by now.. if i work at it and keep all my grades up, im talking like straight A’s, how much could it improve in one year? and if i do that plus get really good SAT AND ACT test scores, would it be possible for me to skip the community college?? thanks!!
I am going into my Junior year and I just finished up a SAT practice test which ended up to be 460-560-500 which is 1520/2400 and I have a 3.5 GPA unweighted taking all honors classes right now. Idk what it is weighted. If I keep this up/ improve on these scores will I have a chance in getting into one of these colleges. Also does it help my chances if somebody from your family went through/is going to one of the colleges?
Also, say I take the SAT multiple times, am I able to take scores from each one of the tests to come up with the best possible score or is it based off the test that you scored the highest on.
im a junior in hs and i want to know my chances of getting into syracuse university…i screwed up really badly in the first quarter of junior year…

past classes- FRESH YEAR-honors spanish and all reg
SOPH YEAR- honors spanish, honors english and ap european and reg
JUNIOR YEAR-ap ush, honors spanish, ap lang and comp
extra curriculars
-field hockey..all league
-band..flute since 4th grade
-locks of love
-latin club
-pres of booster club
-cheerleader
-lifeguard(i don’t know if that matters but justt adding it)
-peer mentor/spanish club (last year not this year so idk if it matters)
yeah so help would be nice what you think my chances are..and if i apply early decision do you think ill have better chances…really wanna go there…regret my first quarter as a juniorr..but im trying so hard now!
I have taken it twice. The first time i got a 1380, then next i got a 1470…but if you take the highest parts from math reading and writing and combine them its a 1500..on a scale og 1600 its a 1040.
Anyway Im going to enter my senior year of highschool and my friend (who hasnt told me her scores) is going to retake it again and is taking a class. She is pressuring me to take the class and said a 1500 isnt good enough.
I want to go to a somewhat decent school where the normal SAT score is about a 1650 to get in. But i have a 3.2 GPA so would that hel?
So basically is a 1500 good enough. If you dont mind could you tell me your SAT scores and if you got into an ok college. SHould i take the class(I never took one for the SATs just online tests) and should i retake it or am i ok?
thanks!
This year I would have been a senior at a high school in New York City. I dropped out of my junior year of high school with a 98.9% GPA. A few months ago I finished my G.E.D. and will be attending community college this fall. I want to transfer to a good college in New York City (NYU, Hunter, etc). My only problem — sometimes I score really badly in standardized tests.
I took the ACT and had a overall score of 17.
English: 20
Mathematics: 17
Reading: 15
Science: 14
SAT score:
English: 780
Math: 340 (TERRIBLE!!!)
I am DEVOTED in changing my scores around this fall so I can go to a good college. I did try tutors last year but they didn’t work very well (everything just went in one ear and out the other). Do you guys have any tips (good books, study habits) I could use to achieve these goals of mine??? I won’t stop! I won’t stop!

ALSO CHANCES OF GETTING INTO SYRACUSE
really interested in both schools but do not know how realistic im being any help would be awesome!kthankss!
I’m currently and junior and I’m trying to figure out what school I should apply to Early Decision. My top 2 choices are Cornell and Dartmouth. In terms of where I stand as a college applicant. My GPA is 3.9 unweighted and I have 6 APs currently and will be taking 5 more senior year. I focus my efforts in science and math, and I am part of the science and math teams at my school and I am the president of the science team. This year for the science competition I got 1st place (of 63) in my event in regionals and 5th (of 50) at states. For math, my school selected me to participate in a county tournament where i placed 16th of 190. I took the SAT in March with little preparation (no courses or tutors) and got 2120, which I think is low for Dartmouth so I will take it again in June and October and may have a tutor for the summer. I also do a lot of research at several Universities and I have received awards. So I think my resume is alright for either school, but don’t get me wrong. I am not cocky. I know applying to schools like these is a crap shoot, but I think I have a shot. My sister is at Cornell, and if I go there I would probably apply to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I love the outdoors and natural settings. I will probably major in Environmental Studies but at the same time take the courses required for pre-med. I want to be at a school where the students don’t feel like they are directly competing academically against the other students. I want to be in a laid back environment where I know I will have to work hard to do well, but at the same time have a great social life that doesn’t only involve talking about medical school and grades. Where do you think I should apply Early Decision?
So i took a SAT practice test and i got like a 1650 or somewhere in the 1600′s(that is if i got at least a 7 on my essay which i think i can do), i struggled in the CR section but, i mean who doesn’t? I did decent in math and writing. I was disappointed in my score, im aiming for 1900+, i’ve been studying A LOT, because its the summer, and when i say a lot i dont mean like 7 hours, i mean 12 freaking hours at my table doing practice problems every day, yes i said every day thats how bad i want it. Any other recommendations on how to raise my score??
Currently i’ve split my 4 month time period before i take the actual SAT, the first month and a half im going to concentrate in the math section, i bought Kaplan’s SAT math workbook, i’m pleased with it, it challenged me which is good, the 2nd month and a half i’m going to concentrate in the CR and vocabulary since they pretty much go hand in hand with each other. The last month and a half im going to concentrate on the writing section of the test, im going to buy a book for that too. After all of this i plan on taking 1 last practice test, to see how much i improved from my first 1600-1650.
I hope i do good on it, i want to go to UCLA, USC, or USD for computer science. I do dragon boat(paddling sport) and im going to continue to do it through senior year to show commitment, i’ve volunteered for all of the marathons in San Francisco, i’m currently in a academy in my high school, AOIT(Academy of Information Technology) i dont know how that’s going to help but, the more the better.
I’m a 3.75 GPA student, but last semester i got a 4.0 GPA, I’m taking pre calculus next year, and i plan on AP calculus, and Physics honors(theres no AP physics, honors is highest) in my senior year.
I said practice test, i didn’t get a 1600 on the real SAT, i’m studying for it, i only have 4 months, im going to take it in october.
Well, im my workbook, i usually try all the questions first, and if i dont get it after everything ill look in the back but, after i do a couple of problems i usually catch on and i’ll be able to do some of them by myself,
Well for the physical part, i have dragon boat for that, that takes like 3 hours of my day and i’m exhausted after it so ill take a nap.
When i finish all the questions in a section, i usually jump around in the same section and redo the questions again so i get more familiar with the question format.
I have a 4.2 G.P.A. (taking AP courses allows you to get a GPA higher than 4.0) and I’m taking 6 AP courses. It’s very time consuming. I don’t go out like my friends do, I don’t go to clubs and partys because I hardly have time because of all the homework I have to do. Now its summer time and I still have to work because my parents bought me 6 thick SAT books they want me to work through.
I’m just thinking of taking normal classes because they are less time consuming and require less preparation. I just wanna be able to go out and have more free time and I don’t feel like working anymore. I could have so much more fun if I had more time.
What do you think I should do?
