<p>APPLYING TO:</p>

<p>Boston College
Georgia Tech
Northeastern
Virginia Tech
NYU
Purdue
UMich Ann Arbor
UVA
Notre Dame</p>

<p>I AM LOOKING AT ALL CAS for each college… Except for V-Tech/Purdue/Georgia Tech</p>

<p>I don’t have much experience with those colleges, but I do have a word of advice: don’t include the private server point. In nearly all cases, they are illegal and a breach of intellectual property rights. No college will report you, but those who understand the implications and what it takes to set up a private server are also those who probably know it is illegal.</p>

<p>For Boston College and VTech, your chances are pretty good. I’m not sure about the rest but UVA and NYU will almost definitely be a higher reach, probably Georgia Tech as well. I dont know enough about the rest of the schools to chance.<br>

<p>@cfen8433 you really think I have a chance at boston college?</p>

5

6

<p>What do you think you’ll get on the ACT?</p>

7

<p>I will not take the writing part of the exam because of how late the scores come.

Hello! Don’t forget that Boston College requires you to submit 2 SAT II subject tests.</p>

9

<p>From what I understand, Boston College only requires the two subject tests if you are submitting your SAT scores. If you decide to send in your ACT scores instead, you don’t need those subject scores.</p>

10

<p>Are you also going to take the ACT in February?</p>

11

<p>Applications are due january so i dont have time to take it in january.</p>

<p>And guys how weighted are the subject tests in applications?</p>

<p>I took math 1-
Math 2
and will be taking us history on december 7th</p>

12

<p>Good luck trying to get 29-32 on your first try. It’s not easy</p>

13

<p>Well it really depends on how you take the test. The SAT and ACT are different tests that, in my opinion, test differently with each student. I took the SAT 5 times with a lot of prep and only got a 2090 but after taking the ACT with almost no prep at all, I got a 34 my first time. In the end, these are just numbers but don’t doubt yourself just yet, you never know.</p>

14

<p>@cubey do you generally do well in school?</p>

15

<p>Not really. My UW is 3.49, 4.089W. I have the most rigorous schedule my school allows me to take (9 AP, 2 IB total throughout high school)</p>

16

<p>bump~!!!</p>

17

I took the ACT a total of two times: the first I got a 32 next time a 33</p>
