So, there is some reasoning behind the low figure. I went to a very difficult prep school for the 1st 2 years. In this school, there was no class rank and gpa’s were generally low, (ie this school wasn’t subject to the grade inflation issue these days). So I averaged a 2.9 the first 2 years. Then I transferred to a public school which is also one of the best in state. I’m taking all advanced courses, have a number of ap’s on my belt, and scored a 1340 on my math verbal SAT. My gpa in just my public school time is at 3.3 unweighted. I’m involved in a bunch of club, I’m an officer in 2 clubs, have headed events. But my overall class rank sucks (top 60%) because of the 1st two years. Can I get into a decent college? If not, what is the path that I should take?

I’m not sure but I think that my essays we’re pretty good..

I’m taking 5 AP classes this year

I’m worrying about the fact that I’m a home school student and won’t be able to get a standard high school diploma. However, I’ve completed all of the required courses for admission into UCF and my SAT score was definitely above average. Any home school students have advice?
I don’t have a bad GPA. I meant average compared to the other UCF applicants, roughly 3.5.

i just took the official sat practice test and got a 2140, which is the highest i’ve ever gotten so far. (last time i took was about two months ago and i got a 2020)… so does that mean my score will only go up?? will it ever go down? i feel pretty confident, because my reading and writing scores have been really consistent and my math score just went up 100 to 760… what do you guys think? how reliable are these prep tests?
also are ivy league schools within my reach provided that i have good ec’s, good gpa, essay, recommendation and a higher sat score, since i’m only a rising junior..

What did you do to get a 24 or 28 or 30 on the ACT Test? I GO T a19 the first time, in my senior year and that’s not good..i’m going to retake it and study in advance to get a 24 or higher because I know that I can…and plus..I’ve got good grades and a good gpa and I need a score that will show why I have such good grades, because in the end, I could have really awesome grades, straight a’s and all, but if I score a freakin 19 on the ACT test, that’s kinda lame…
intelligence is what counts not straight a’s or b’s..right?

Hello. I am 17-years-old and just graduated high school. I will be attending the University of California, Santa Barbara this fall and will be majoring in Political Science with a minor in Philosophy and possibly Sociology. I plan to set up a Pre-Law program.

I have accomplished a lot in high school. I graduated high school an AP Scholar with Honors and made a rousing speech. I graduated at the top of my AP classes. I understand though that college is different from this.

I have aspirations to go to an Ivy League law school. I understand that the two most important things in admissions to an Ivy League law school like Harvard Law is GPA and LSAT. I will work my butt off in college to get the highest grades possible, covering the GPA. However, it is the LSAT I am a little worried about.

I understand that to get into an Ivy League law school, you should get 170+ possibly 175+ on the LSAT. I read that this is in the 98th percentile.

I have nothing to do this summer. I do not begin college until the fall. My friend got a near perfect score on the SAT and he told me he had studied that for 2 years. So I figured I can apply the same strategy to the LSAT so, I bought the "Cracking the LSAT" from the Princeton Review (Because the Princeton Review guides has served me well on my AP classes). However, looking into it, the LSAT looks much more difficult than I imagined.

My question is how can I best prepare for the LSAT? I know I should self-study a prep book like the one I bought but I should also take a course. Where can I take a course? Where do I even get started? Should I even worry about the LSAT right now?

What is the best plan of action to prepare for the LSAT so I can get a 170+ in the future?

I cant decide if i should retake my act test i got a 26 my first try and im wondering if that score will get me into any university without to much trouble. I have a 3.8 gpa. Is it worth it to retake the act or just a waste of time, im applying for schools this week.

I’m only a HS Sophomore right now.
I know how hard it is to get into Stanford: And I don’t think they look at 9th grade. I have a 2.73 GPA 9th grade (anxiety, depression, suicidal instincts/thoughts :/), and first Trimester of 10th I got a 3.1. Now its 2nd Trimester, and I’m getting 4 As, a B, and a B+… So I think I’m turning myself around.
The PLAN test estimated a 20-24 on the ACT, but I am pretty sure I’ll far exceed that.
Extra Curriculars: 2 varsity sports, theater, tutoring, leadership stuff, etc.

Can I still get into Stanford, or have I completely screwed myself over?

PS: I’m also interested in Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison, so if you know anything about that… say something too!
WHOOPS… i HAD a 2.7.
I said "have."
Jade, it’s hard for anyone no matter where they are.
