Inspired by receiving my ACT score and seeing a bunch of college threads, I wanna know what you all got.

I'll go first. 28 english, 27 math, 34 reading, 36 science, all coming out to a composite score of 31. My last score was a 26 reading, 24 math, 31 reading, 34 science. I just took my SAT, so no score yet. Not to mention my vehement hatred towards the college board, and their ravenous needs for money.

Hopefully i'll be going to UF with my 31 and my low GPA (depending on what you count and weight, all my classes are about 3.5-3.7 weighted) and maybe some nice AP scores. i'm looking at other colleges, but i have no idea on what i want to do (anything but liberal arts), so that doesn't help at all. I figure i'll go to UF, do BS classes, and either figure out what to do there or transfer to another school.

Took the ACT twice. Earned a composite 29 both times.

Didn't take the SAT. Took the pSAT, but don't recall the score.

GPA in HS was 3.8 non-weighted.

and during the exam, i had to go diarhea soo bad...it was horrible...i got 720 on math part ...so mad cuz on practice exams, i had 760-800 consistently...stupid diarhea....

i suck @ verball..as u can tell in most of my posts...my grammer and spelling is teh suck!

well, as for HS gpa....UC weighted = 4.2..blah...HS was a joke...but fun aha

EDIT: damn it i was reading my own post and thought..."this mofo is freakin cocky..gotta kick his arse.."..when u are asian..and ur parents set extremely high standards for u.....ok, asian dudes in these forums can relate...they'll probably say my l33t score of 1330 is POS and i'm a n00b for getting a 4.2 instead of a 4.6...

ACT = 32 (tied our valedictorian)
H.S. GPA = too long ago to remember (16-17 years). prolly not even 3.0
undergrad GPA = 3.0 (because I spent way too much time in a course of study I didn't give a crap about)
grad GPA = 3.8 (flubbed a poetry seminar, otherwise 4.0)

My parents had to force me to go to college.
Hated HS and everything about it. :|
Bored out of my skull.
Didn't give a crap about grades.
Never took SAT.
Took ACT once, very last time I could (for that upcoming fall).

I took the SATs twice: first was a 1330; second was a 1390. I wanted a 1400; decided 1390 was close enough. And yet I still go to a CC cause no colleges offered me financial aid grrrr :|

SAT: 1210. That was in 1990 and would be about 1290 after converting to today's easier scoring system.

AP - American History: 4
AP - English: 4

HAHAHAHAH! I've got you all beat ;) I'll just cut and paste from the other thread:

I made a 21 on my ACT, a 990 on the SAT, and had a GPA of a 3.2. I had also been dual enrolling many classes w/ the local community college, earning me 36 college credits before I graduated HS. I got the 75% paid Florida Bright Futures Scholarship, and then received three other scholarships totalling up to 4k (I only have to use 200 per semester since I have the 75% paid). I decided to go ahead and attend the local community college (Gulf Coast Community College) for my first two years, and pocketed the rest of my scholarship money ($3100 to do whatever the hell I want to do with it) :) I'll be going to the FSU Panama City branch as soon as I'm outta Gulf Coast :)

My current GPA in college is 3.6.

If a retard like me can make it, ANYONE can :p

Didn't take ACT.
4-something (4.3?) GPA in HS with the weighted classes added in, around 4ish unweighted.

Frosh at Caltech this year, so don't really have grades yet (first 2 terms are pass/fail, passing everything so far).
