well, it would also be contingent upon if you are applying to reach schools or to schools that simply accept most anyone.

Considering I'm in my senior year of HS, I still haven't taken the SAT OR the ACT with no EC activities... I am just now starting to realize what a slacker I am. :(

Don't you take the SAT junior year? :confused:

You aren't going to get in to college. Period!

Normally yes, but I'm taking it in a month or two because I never signed up for it last year

3.6 GPA, same job for 3 years. Damn me and my laziness :p

Nope, got accepted into UCI before apps. Got into UCSD by applying and went there instead.

Didn't even apply to in-state schools. Got into both choices, Colorado State and Georgia Tech. Went to GT for a year and transfered to an in-state school. Probably would still be going to CSU if I had gone there, little bit closer to Montana life than Atlanta was.

Yes. I prayed I would get into fUCLA and I did. I thought I was doomed with my pathetic GPA and SAT scores. And yes I'm Asian.

Turns out I got into

All 8 UCs
Cornell, CMU, U$C, Cal Poly SLO, GA Tech, SCU
and rejected from MIT, StanFUrd, WUSTL and Harvey Mudd
