<p>My reaches are still Binghamton U.(#1), Geneseo U., and now Stony Brook U.<br>
A few safety schools for me are Albany and Molloy College.(mother is a professor here)
Might also apply to Penn State(but not sure of their rep now…) and I’m still searching for a few more to apply to. If anyone has some ideas… fire away!(Northeast US preferably)</p>
<p>Even if I do get my 2100, my 3.2 WEIGHTED gpa is killing me.</p>
<p>Since I think I did fairly well on October math,(640-680) I figure with the last week of studying I’ll go hardcore on CR and Writing so I can pull up to 7’s on both. Math is getting tedious and I feel crunched for time; I just can’t work up the energy to sit down and do it.</p>
<p>How about Northeastern University? It’s in the NE! </p>
<p>Well, if you can “make up” for that gpa somehow in your application, you still have a pretty good shot. I’m banking on my EC’s, Recs, test scores, and the essay.</p>
<p>I did a little in Grubers and I’m liking it a lot. (Only wasted around 40% of my day. Not going to waste anymore because there are only 12 days until the test) Grubers is my new friend! (How pathetic…)</p>
<p>Not too much longer and you’ll have your test results!!!</p>
<p>I’ll do my best to make up for it with my essay, but my lack of EC’s is another negative. </p>
<p>Banking on my SAT’s…</p>
<p>I definitely like Grubers > Pwn the SAT so far, but I’m going to be working on CR and Writing for a while, so I’ll probably check out Barrons and continue with RR.</p>
<p>Ok am I the only one who finds the blue book maths harder than the barron’s book maths? Really I am sooo confused. WIth barrons I’m around 640 but with the blue books I’m ranging around 590’s</p>
<p>Each test is a slightly different difficulty wise, and it will also depend on what questions happen to appear. 50 points isn’t much, well within the fluctuation zone.</p>
<p>Marie well for me I’m opposing my friends haha
English is easier for me than math
I’m gonna start with Barron’s E-Z math now to develop my weak points in math.
Essay in SAT too needs improvments.
Lately in my full-length test I’ve done awful in the critical section no idea why /:</p>
<p>I’m revising upon 200 words from Direct hits, once I finish I’ll start with more 50 words.
Btw using mnemonic dictionary really helped me memorize !
At least worked for me haha</p>
<p>@farouz,
CR is tough on almost everybody. So, it’s not just you! Right now, I’m scoring in the 600 range and I haven’t even prepped for it, but my writing is declining. </p>
<p>Yeah, over half of those diagrams trip me up! It’s just something that I really need to study.</p>
<p>I’ll be taking the SAT for the first time, so I feel like I shouldn’t be pressured as much as I am. However, the essay is incredibly difficult for me, mostly due to the lessons pounded into my head in AP History on how to write a good essay being antithetical to the methodology of the SAT Essay. I keep trying to find as many examples as possible, and then try to not waste space in the essay with repetition. In the practice tests I’ve taken (including a few fairly recent tests from 2005,) I’m missing only 1 or 2 in Math/Critical Reading, and a range of 1-4 in writing; therefore, the essay is incredibly important for my overall score.</p>
<p>Sorry for wasting space with my stress relief.</p>
<p>@Geneti,
Wow! You aren’t missing many! Find examples that will be able to go with almost any prompt that you are given. One of mine is Socrates. </p>
<p>Nah, your rant is fine I ramble on wayyy too much about stuff like this to my friend.</p>
