College and SAT

So was I (joined in middle school) but with the age of social media and forums being pretty much dead, it surprised me.
How so? Sneaker collecting is becoming more and more mainstream, doesn't appear to be slowing down.
 
His point is that forums are a dying platform as compared to before. How are y’all not getting this ? :lol:
I get that part. But even if the percentage of people going on forums dropped dramatically, the "sneakerhead" population grew and there would still be a few who are curious or intrigued enough to venture into the forums.
 
I think most young folks are going to other forms of social media than message boards.

Yea i would expect it to be alot less teens here than before and especially in General..but you know there's always the few that googled something about "nike" and stumbled on some thread on here :lol
 
I think it's also dependent on schools. When I was applying to the University of California system, SATs and 2 SAT 2s were required, ACT was not. This was 2011.

I think a year later they removed the SAT 2 requirement.
 
I do college recruiting for my company and I do work with Admissions but admittedly much less than in the past but I might able to provide some value. I am certain others will too but we need a lot more context.

1. First and foremost, what year are you in high school?
2. Is it scholarship offered directly from a university or is it a scholarship offer via a third party, organization, etc.
3. In order to properly assist you, we will need you to be honest with this one - what type of student are you? I understand how one may be averse to sharing a GPA online with strangers but at least be as detailed as possible.
4. Have you taken the PSAT? If so, the same caveat from Question 3 pertains here to your score.
5. The relevance of this is tied to Questions 1 and 2 but if you are a Senior, do you have any offers or have you given an acceptance yet?

@sooperhooper and Nawzlew Nawzlew are correct, it takes roughly three weeks to get your scores back so I’m not sure you will be able to make the deadline.


I’ll also just add, I wouldn’t say “Only 1200”. The fact that it’s above average. A 1200 is 75% percentile while 1080 is closer to 50% which is a HUGE statistical difference. Anyway, we can start with these questions and you can add any other pertinent details you may have originally missed.

How have you not taken it yet?

KhanAcademy is good. UWorld too.

Check your library for SAT study books.
 
What is the fundamental difference between the two? I can’t remember because the folks I’ve worked with put more weight on the SAT so I focus on that.

I went to school in Texas and most places I applied to accepted both scores.

For some reason the ACT seems like the less known test where I'm from.
