Second year in EE here

I got a 30 on ACT, 1960 SAT -- I really suck at those tests.

I did, however, get 11s on writing in both tests. That, if anything, shows my distaste for multiple choice questions.

Got 2160 the first time around with an 800 on math, didn't study except for maybe 30 minutes the night before. 35 on ACT first try, didn't study at all. My face when I now go to school on some huge scholarships and yet smoke weed errday.

I think I got an 1810, but am currently one of the best at Physics at my Private Uni. I got bored on the SATs halfway through and kinda half assed it. I don't give a rats ass though, grades and SAT scores only matter to those cocky pricks who spout their score every day, but always ask me for math and physics help.

You guys do realize that the SAT2 has a different scale than the SAT' right? The mean for SAT2's is about 120+ points higher than the SAT and the standard deviations are considerably larger as well. A 700 is pathetic. That's not even 70th percentile for most subjects.

>> No.4177435

Never did SAT tutoring or any of that shit.
Only took the SAT once.

Got 2240 on SATs:
780 math
800 writing
660 critical reading lolol

Got nearly the same score on the PSATs and was a national merit finalist.

Got rejected from most the schools I wanted to go to. Couldn't afford Carnegie Mellon. Attending honors program at my state college.

GPA in high school was mediocre though I scored 5s on all the AP exams I took: BC Calculus, Physics C, Statistics, English Lit, English Comp, American Government, US History, and European History.

Word nigga. I was upset with my 790 math II score. I assumed I'd have extra time so I did each problem and checked it meticulously with the calculator. Ran out of time.

>> No.4177454

>>4177439
Yep. That's about the 92nd percentile. People on this board seem to think an SAT subject test score is comparable to a score on a section on the SAT; this couldn't be further from the truth.

got a 700 math II SAT 2 and a 720 chem SAT 2
feels kinda bad, applying to MIT reg decision. Those are rather low to apply there

>> No.4177491

>>4177484
Those are low to apply anywhere. As I've pointed out in this thread those are about the 75th percentile. To put that in perspective a 75th percentile on the actual SAT is a low 1700.

>> No.4177499

>>4177491
When looking at the percentiles, keep in mind that only top students take SAT 2s so that they can apply to top schools. There aren't as many tards to pull the average down, and the colleges/unis know it

>> No.4177502

>>4177484
Good luck. I got rejected with the 2240, 790 on math II and 800 on physics and US history. Best from got deferred early decision and rejected regular with a 2360, all 800s, and highest GPA in class

>> No.4177505

>>4177499
I do keep that in mind but it isn't enough to make up for the discrepancy in the scores. A ~700 score on an SAT II is still much much worse than a similar score on a section of the actual SAT.

Did you have any research or work experience in the major you wanted to go into? I'm looking at ChemE and I have a job at a local chem plant in the control room doing related shit, I've been wondering if that might help me out

Yep. Worked a 9-5 legit compsci job the entire summer from junior to senior year at a contractor for Fortune 500 companies. Aside from weekends and holidays where I couldn't work, I worked every day aside from the day after summer break and the day before it ended. Also worked as an audio engineer for a couple months, did a computer science independent study project, and made $2000 one summer doing freelance web shit.

But then again computer science and math (my intended concurrent majors) were flooded with smart people.

Median SAT for CMU math was 780, which is what I got. My writing was well above the 3rd quartile but my reading was equal to the 1st quartile score. Somehow I got in there but it's so fucking expensive.

It's pretty much a crapshot for the prestigious schools, I got rejected from UPenn but most my friends got accepted, even those with 1900 ish SAT scores. (inb4 impossible, it's easier to get into if you're in the city limits)

Schreyer Honors College at Penn State. It's kinda mediocre compared to MIT but overall it's a good deal. It was my safety.

Apply there if you're in PA, or to your state school's honors program if you're not.
