ACT site down tonight for maintenance

<p>yes, my friends look at me with disgusting expressions when i start rambling off in college/ACT/educational lingo.
i have become a hyper-eccentric, obsessive-compulsive college junkie.
only when i matriculate into vassar will i be satisfied</p>

<p>audiorage:
give them hell!</p>

<p>i have been trying to pass my time by watching gilmore girls nonstop. its impossible to accomplish anything in this state of anxiety</p>

<p>"cc has turned us all into hyper-eccentric, obsessive-compulsive prestige freaks."</p>

<p>I AGREEE
i don't know how i found this site, but its seriously changed the way i work academically</p>

<p>i would be calling them ALL THE TIME audiorage!</p>

<p>and nmatth and crunkk i completely agree with everything you just said!!</p>

<p>does anybody know how they decide which tests get scored first? geographic location?</p>

<p>yes!
makes me like all those kids who go to chilton in gilmore girls!
(someone please say they understand my references)</p>

<p>haha i think i know what youre talking about..the really nerdy prep school that the daughter goes to??</p>

<p>yeah, we all feel like that lol =D</p>

<p>It all used to be so simple.</p>

<p>Get good grades in tough courses, get high test scores, do some interesting, unique extracurriculars for 4 years.</p>

<p>now my mind is so messed up, I have become obsessive-compulsive.</p>

<p>well, I'm exaggerating, but you know what I mean</p>

<p>don't you love standardized tests???? (sarcasm..................)</p>

<p>plus, I used to be really self- confident and think, whoa I did good on my sat, I am a smart person, and now I feel like I am simply an average, maybe even below-average prospective student.</p>

<p>I've also learned that my chances of getting into my top schools are .1 percent, as everyone else has done everything you have done, plus more.</p>

<p>haha. yes thats right tyketch. the nerdy prep school that is ULTRA COMPETITIVE. and its in hartford. so you can probably see why.</p>

<p>lol totally know what you mean...now everything seems so much more competitive</p>

<p>i know! i have the highest ACT in my school but when i get on here...its just average. its incredible.</p>

<p>this site is one of the reasons why i decided to push my goal from a 32 to a 34... CC does that i guess</p>

<p>i have the second highest in my school nmatth and im subpar with the 34s on here...</p>

<p>wow, how do we know stuff about the gilmore girls???</p>

<p>tyketch:
haha. because ive been watching it all day to pass the time. since i cannot do anything productive until i know my scores.
it actually is one of the greatest shows in the world</p>

<p>seriously, a 30 is what, 97th percentile nationally?</p>

<p>I mean you would think that that would be pretty impressive, you pick 100 random high schoolers, and only like 2 of them did better than you.</p>

<p>But in reality, with that 30, you are actually a brain-dead vegetable.</p>

<p>What?!</p>

<p>yeah i got a 31 and its like 98% nationally and i think EVERYBODY in the top 2% are on CC lol :P</p>

<p>and nmatth:
good thing i have football workouts at 730 AM which allows me to not sit at home and check actstudent.org all day, or i'd die lol</p>

<p>senior year football is going to be the most incredible 16-week period of my life.</p>

<p>lol it's true.</p>

<p>lol. wow. lucky you. my three volunteer jobs have not started yet so i am pretty much a vegetable. i couch potato if you will.</p>
