<p>I've applied to a numerous amount of summer programs (pre-college/internships/etc.) so hopefully one of those works out</p>

<p>Nothing too spectacular…but there is stuff I haven’t mentioned…Oh well, I’ll hope for the best!</p>

2

<p>views but no advice/insight?</p>

3

<p>A 1460 is terrible? What’s the distribution?</p>

<p>You’ve been looking at too many chance threads.</p>

4

<p>Haha my dist. is kind of funny…Its not a bad grade but i’d like to have higher to be a little bit more competitive…which i think i did on the mar. test date…</p>

<p>790 M / 670 CR…weird I know. I’m more of a math/sci person</p>

5

<p>^ Aha, I see. I have the same as you total, but the distribution is a bit more even - 760 CR/710 M. </p>

<p>Yes, bring up your CR :slight_smile: I got a 670 the first time because the curve was horrible (6 wrong). The next time I got one less wrong (5 wrong) but I got a 750. So perhaps the curve just killed you.</p>

6

<p>yeah. I think i did, but cant be sure until April 7th. ive been thinking about taking the ACT because Ive been told that i would do well because of my math/sci leanings.</p>

<p>neethus: are you a georgetown hopeful? or what? possibly princeton if your from NJ maybe</p>

7

<p>Although a 670 in reading is low for Georgetown, it wont keep you out if you have solid grades and SAT IIs. Good luck.</p>

8

<p>Yes. That 670 tortures me. Accursed ADD. hopefully they notice my 790! but i’m pretty sure i broke 700 on my CR on the march test date.</p>

9

<p>fyi I got in EA with a 660 lit SAT II.</p>

10

<p>Georgetown hopeful, yes :slight_smile: SFS!</p>

<p>Not Princeton though. Even if I got in by fluke, I would never survive :stuck_out_tongue: I know people who go there.</p>

11

<p>If you broke 700 on reading, then your at 1500+ which is totally straight. do you actually have add haha?</p>

12

<p>Well if you have ADD, you get more time on the SATs (unlimited time, right?).</p>

13

<p>haha i am not diagnosed. but sometimes it feels like it. well hopefully i broke that 700 on the reading which is my bane. do you seriously have no time limit if you have ADD? dang i should make a case!</p>
