An Earthquake Got My SAT Cancelled!

<p>I live in Islamabad. We were just about to give the Oct. 8th essay when a 7.6 earthquake hit and we had to be evacuated. One of the apartment buildings in the city collapsed and there's some damage in other places too. They cancelled out SAT and now I wont have my scores in time for applying Early Action at Chicago. Ahhhh!</p>

<p>i uno what to say.. lucky in the sence that u have more time well that s bad for u...buh unlucky in the sence that plp are in trouble...</p>

<p>I thing College Board will take care of you guys and set up an alterate testing day.</p>

<p>ya if not you can write that somewhere on ur u of chicago app.</p>

<p>i emailed my admissions officer so hopefully they'll get back to me about it. it's pretty big on the news i think.</p>

<p>they usually fix an alternate date in case the SAT cannot be taken on the official date</p>

<p>however, if the damage will not allow the SATs to be taken anytime soon, I'm sure colleges will understand!</p>

<p>but u're lucky... i just saw it on the news. hundreds injured or dead!</p>

<p>Your city got hit by a ****ing earthquake and you're worried about SAT scores?</p>

<p>I think sahaider's justified in SAT scores...I'm sure he/she is also worried about the victims of the earthquake too</p>

<p>i actually went and helped out at the main site of the collapse. so...yeah.</p>

<p>wow that's really sad .. so many natural disasters occurring
tsunami, hurricane, earthquake . . what's next, a huge tornado?
a lot of kids died too .. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/fc/science/earthquakes_and_volcanoes%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://news.yahoo.com/fc/science/earthquakes_and_volcanoes&lt;/a>
i just wanna hug that kid who's crying :(</p>

<p>be grateful u survived and u will have an oppurtunity to give the SAT on a later date. Many kids wont.</p>

<p>Yeah,you are much luckier than thousands of your fellow countrymen.Best luck for you and all the Pakistanians.</p>

<p>more like thousands or millions injured and dead.</p>

<p>according to the chinese zodiac, the chicken year (this year) and the monkey year (last year) r the worst!! yay..so much for the class of OH six</p>
