<p>stop complaining about your 2100 + scores</p>
<p>pce</p>
<p>I have to agree… this may only the place where I see so many 2100+ scorers … It’s painful for those who scored at the average …</p>
<p>Hear hear!</p>
<p>you know why it is?
because only people that got a 2100
A) wanna talk about it
B) are obsessive enough to go online and talk about it
C) have nothing else to do.</p>
<p>btw: i got a 2310.
and ya seeing all this stuff makes ME feel like crap.</p>
<p>2310 is 2100+ last I checked.</p>
<p>Oh. I guess your too good to be part of the “2100+” group.</p>
<p>Srry.</p>
<p>because only people that got a 2100

<p>Need I say more?</p>
<p>ya… what?</p>
<p>my point is that, ya we are crazy</p>
<p>and i feel ya. seeing these scores makes me feel bad even though my score is good and its messed up to even be complaining about it.</p>
<p>Is anyone forcing you to be here? I do sympathize with your point, but if you don’t like it, just leave.</p>
<p>agree,this is online forum and everyone is free to post his score and to be proud of ashamed of them.As long as there are not insults,we are free to post everything.If u dont like it,then go to a forum where students are proud with their 1800 scores</p>
<p>If you don’t like reading about others’ high scores, then don’t read about them. It really is that simple.</p>
<p>We’re not going to stop exchanging tips on how to get from 750 to 800 on a certain section, or stop asking how we can improve on a 2100, just because someone else doesn’t want to put the effort in to attain that kind of score. Deal with it.</p>
<p>The people who “complain” about their 2100+ scores discuss not because they have nothing better to do, but because they feel that their scores do not reflect their preparation. That’s why CC exists, allowing users to ask for advice, exchange methods or speculations…
Don’t say anything if you can’t say anything nice.</p>
<p>Well, even though I got 2100+, I’m slightly annoyed because I could have done better had I known that SAT likes formulaic essays… simple reason.
Also, for a more practical reason: one college I’m looking at has a scholarship it only gives to people who have 700+ on all their sections.</p>
<p>Sometimes it sucks to be 2100+. My first “real” SAT (I took it in 6th and 8th grade, but not for real) was 2100+ (by 10 points, so barely) but that was upsetting because very few of my scores were good enough for the colleges to which I want to go and I had done a <em>lot</em> better on the PSAT. Why shouldn’t someone be upset when s/he prepped well and doesn’t see the results?</p>
<p>Then there’s when you start to get really good scores, like 2300+ and at that point there’s this huge desire to reach perfection. I stare at my SAT scores now and I think that I could have done it. Just one little section and I could have had perfect. Everyone has a desire to be perfect and when you’re close, when you think you’re capable of making it, the desire is that much greater. </p>
<p>I think the 2100+ people have every right to complain. CC is the perfect place to do it. It’s anonymous, there are so many 2100+ people here that it doesn’t sound like bragging, and… I don’t know it’s just perfect. If I complain to people IRL besides my sister, they won’t get it, and they’ll probably be really upset that I even mentioned it. This is a place to talk honestly.</p>
<p>Millancad ,do you realize that 2100 is top 5 % ?</p>
<p>Word.</p>
<p>Also, some CC-ers need to stop telling the sub-2100 people they’re screwed and have no chance applying to anywhere.</p>
<p>Just because somebody has the right to do something doesn’t mean they should.</p>
<p>For example, my right to free speech allows me to shout racial epithets from my porch if I wanted to. However, I would be an ******* if I did.</p>
<p>The same thing applies here. Just because you can complain about your phenomenal SAT scores doesn’t necessarily mean you should, especially when it is for no constructive purpose other than accruing attention for yourself.</p>
<p>The reason you see so many impressive SAT scores on here is everybody under 2000 doesn’t bother to post next to the guy complaining about his 720 critical reading.</p>
<p>Very true guys the 2100+ scores are just people who obess over going to a IVY leage school like Harvard or something thats like 100000$ a year or some crap. Its pretty sad. I myself dont care wheter or not I go to the nations most presitgious schools just so i can brag about it. I just care about going to a mid level school which has my courses. Anyways people with 2100+ dont complain about it pls i dont have a problem with people saying ahh it was alittle lower than what i wanted and that they wants some advice. But when they say things like OMG THIS 2250 score SUCKS!!! I mean seriously 150 points away from a perfect score my friend scored a 1560 and she asked harvard if theyd let her in just for the sake of arguement and they said yes if she wanted to. So seriously the SAT/ACT isnt the only things that will lead you to going to college.</p>
<p>Lol, I think the worst thing is when people are like “Oh I got like…a 2170, but I didn’t study much. I’ll prob take it again,” when I worked my BUTT (blood,sweat,and tears) off just to get a score like the one they didn’t study for. I’m aware this is a part of life, but I mean, really, do you guys have to say that?..Haha.</p>
<p>Most people aren’t complaining. They are just trying to score better. And btw this is the SAT Preparation thread… you come here to prepare for the SAT… so don’t be shocked when you see people actually report their SAT scores.</p>
<p>
I have to say I didn’t know that. I did realize a few weeks ago when watching a TV show where it said that a character scored in the Top 10% of PSAT scores that the top 10% is really big.</p>
<p>But some people here who are complaining have a lot to live up too. Some of us feel a lot of pressure. The first person in my family to go to college was born a slave (and she was female). Both of my maternal grandparents had master’s degrees, and they definitely were not privileged people. My father went to a tiny, segregated school in 1950s Birmingham, Alabama for all of his pre-college education, and he was valedictorian. And he was senior class president. And he went to college and became an engineer. My mother went to an Ivy league school for undergrad.
Two of my siblings, who have different mothers than I and therefore grew up in entirely different (read: very underprivileged) situations tell me about how much better I’m doing in school than they did but doesn’t it mean so much less when I was born with so much? I feel like I have to make up for that.</p>
<p>And I’m always worried that someone will say “Oh, you only got into (whatever college) because you’re black.” I spend <em>a lot</em> of time trying to prove that I’m just as good as everyone else.</p>
