<p>No, it doesn’t affect my app if the year was justified and if I used my time properly instead of just taking a year off to relax.</p>
<p>@pkteen …Answer all of my questions in this thread , plz plz plz …</p>
<p>Ohh i see ! So can i take a year off to improve my sat score or for co curricular and collecting certificates ? It surely ll make my app strong ! what do u say ?</p>
<p>Look…the a lot of the top 20 give out a lot of need based aid.
But if you’re looking for something that’s <30k for tuition and boarding then my first choice would be the University of Pittsburgh (the first one that came to mind)</p>
<p>Should i ? I mean with just sat 1 and 2 ?</p>
<p>That is up to you. I took a year off because I had to. Don’t act recklessly. If I were you, I would get into a community college or state school and then transfer out to some other college.
Just citing my opinion here…</p>
<p>Pittsburgh ! … but do state clgs even give need based aid to international studenta or u r talking about private clgs ?</p>
<p>So how much do i need on the SATs for a state clg ?</p>
<p>Pittsburgh doesn’t give aid to internationals but its tuition falls below the 30k range.</p>
<p>and do all private clgs give need based aid to international studenta or just a few ?</p>
<p>And suggest me a vocab book for sat 1 … DH or WS by PR ?</p>
<p>Just a few and I personally prefer the combination of Direct Hits’ core vocabulary of the SAT and the toughest vocabulary of the SAT (both by direct hits) although I’m not sitting for the SAT. I prefer the ACT over it and I’ve registered for the September ACT already.</p>
<p>What is the difference btw act and sat ? Is act easier ?</p>
<p>Depends from individual to individual. I personally don’t like the SAT I (I gave it in 2011 and got a decent score but my score is expired now). I’d rather give the ACT over the SAT because I simply like the ACT better (hope that makes sense).</p>
<p>So sat score expires after 2 yrs , right ?</p>
<p>guys, answer these straight forward :-
- how much vocabulary do i need to score 1800+ ?
- should i prioritize things and take fsc part 2 as less important , for i need serious prep for 18oo+ ?
- (most imp.) CAN I ACTUALLY ACE MY SATs TILL DECEMBER … i havn’t started the prep yet
:(:(</p>
<p>The answer to your questions would be:
- Take a practice test to see for yourself how much you need…
- NO! You need your transcripts for admissions and F.Sc scores (esp the school exams) are extremely important.
- DECEMBER? Umm… yeah you can! I didn’t study for even a month and I haven’t started ACT prep yet although my test is mid september (which makes me want to start prep NOW)</p>
<p>Oh thanks man … so now u sayin i should start taking internal exams more seriously , like send ups and pre boards and terminals ?
So LETS PRACTICE MAKING PUPPY DOG FACES AND TRY TO GET MORE MARKS FROM TEACHERS !</p>
<p>Definitely.</p>
<p>@pkteen : would u mind answering that how much u scored in fsc ?</p>
