You don't want to come here, you only getJan 18 2013Undecided
You don't want to come here, you only get one college experience. But if you're looking for no social life, a dead campus on weekends, and you have the money to pay the ridiculously high tuition (I don't know where the hell the money is going, not for our benefit though), then by all means come here. Your SAT scores are important but they look at your essay, high school schedule strength, and high school extracurricular involvement the most.

I took both of the SATs and ACTs twiceSep 10 2012Other
I took both of the SATs and ACTs twice as a way to Superscore my two test grades. I also made sure that I volunteered at my local hospitals, played sports, and kept myself on track to be the best student I could be so it would reflect in my college application.

It is very individual per student, depending on what they are looking to study. i always knew what I wanted to study, so I geared my last two years of high school to obtaining that goal. So, it is really at the discretion of the student.

ExtracurSep 10 2012Physical Therapy/Exercise Science
Extracurricular activities and volunteering is what set my application apart. I didn't have the highest grades in high school (A's and B's), so I tried to strengthen my application by being involved in my community. I was even awarded a scholarship for being so involved.
ACT: 25 SAT: 1620 Female
