<p>What’d you get on the ACT?</p>

3

<p>haha i never took it :confused: i took the sats twice. I got tutored all summer and fall and it didn’t help. I’m just really not good at test taking haha</p>

<p>You can’t apply without submitting either ACT or SAT scores.</p>

5

<p>college of the holy cross is optional</p>

6

<p>Oh ok. In my honest opinion, it’d be a pretty big stretch especially without the scores (when colleges say something is optional, you should still consider it to be required).</p>

7

<p>Holy Cross is not very hard to get into. At my school almost every person that applies gets in (well 4/5 roughly). Bring up your GPA a bit and you’ll be set.</p>

<p>BlackRose101, I believe that you’re incorrect. The acceptance rate for the College of the Holy Cross incoming class of 2015 is 33.3%, rather than the 80% that you proposed. It is getting more selective as well. Entrance difficulty is also listed as “very difficult.” Maybe we’re talking about different Holy Crosses…</p>

<p>reading comprehension seems to be lacking here.</p>

<p>im talking about the holy cross in worcester, MA. I thought that was obvious but I guess not :P</p>

11

<p>Okay, cool, that’s what I thought. I would definitely apply! It looks like you have some great extra curriculars which they will like. You seem to be very involved and talented in many areas which is great.</p>

12

<p>destiny, that is the school i’m talking about as well. In my school most of the kids who apply get in. I’m not talking about the percentages they post on their site, i’m just saying this based off of the large majority of people from my high school who are accepted.</p>

13

<p>oh, and if you’re Irish they love you :)</p>

14

<p>i am irish woot woot :P</p>

<p>Destiny, how was the interview? Do you recall what types of questions they asked?</p>
