<p>any of the juniors taking the act for the first time on saturday?</p>
<p>im taking it in april.....</p>
<p>good luck jonoam! if ure taking it..... dont you already have like a 33?</p>
<p>I'm taking them in April too. Our school is making us take practice test every ohter week.</p>
<p>Wow, your school actually tries to prepare you for the ACT. I don't think the people at my school even expect more than half the kids in a class to take the ACT at all, let alone prepare for it. Can you tell I'm a little sick of my school's standards?</p>
<p>Back on topic, I am planning on taking the ACT in April as well, most likely for the last time. I wouldn't be taking it again at all if I had done the writing part back in October, but for some reason I didn't.</p>
<p>im with you eph19 on the school standards thing...you pretty much described my school. i havent taken the test yet, only practice ones. i have a scheduling issue with the april one so this saturday it is! im hoping to get enough of a good score these first few times (maybe in june again? idk yet..) to apply early action</p>
<p>yeah, jonoam, early action is great except if you get in, then you want to do NOTHING second semester. i swear senioritis gets like 10 times worse if you already know you're accepted.</p>
<p>I think I'll be taking all my classes at a local university next year, so I'm hoping that will help prevent any senioritis I might otherwise get. I do think early action is the way to go for me as well. April just seems so long to wait.</p>
<p>ya i want to do early action.... but I thin k my stats are suitable fore RD</p>
<p>Yeah... our school is trying to regain the prestige it once had. We also take alot of pre-test within each class. In my math class, we have to complete ACT packets and in English we take Critical Reading and Verbal pre-test.</p>
<p>oh, dont worry. senioritis wont be a problem for me. the way my school is set up we have completely new classes second semester. of the four, one will most likely be art related-i definitely wont slack off in there. and then ill have at least a few AP classes. might as well get college credit while i can. so while i might not be slackign off, i am VERY impatient..theres no way i could wait so long to find out where im going to college</p>
<p>Hey...ND is great...but if you are interested in journalism, don't overlook Northwestern or U of Missouri. My brother is in J school at Mizzou...the opportunites that he gets and the hands on experience is amazing. Mizzou is the only school in the nation that OWNS their own NBC affiliate. Of course, I want to go to ND, too!!!!</p>
<p>i have never taken an act practice test or anything... but I am taking it for the first time in April....</p>
<p>I heard there isnt any vocab? is this true?</p>
<p>What study tools have u guys used?</p>
<p>If I recall correctly, there were a few vocab type questions in the critical reading section, just words taken out of the reading selection. Not a large vocab section or anything. </p>
<p>I read the tips in Kaplan's ACT book and did a few practice tests out of the book before I took the test in October. Actually, I scored 4 points higher on the real ACT than the practice test I took the week before.</p>
<p>oh wow..... hnmmm ok i think ill take a look into that</p>
<p>Just to break this thread out</p>
<p>When are you guys planning on visiting????</p>
<p>Man, looks like I've been missing out on the '12 party here.</p>
<p>I visited this fall because I know a bunch of people there, and my dad's an alum so he set up a bunch of stuff through guys he knew. Anyways, this is my first post so I'll do the obligatory stats:</p>
<p>State: MI
City: Grand Rapids
High school type: Catholic, about 800 kids
Grade Point avg. UW: 4.0
GPA W: I have no idea. 4.6? Ish? Anyways, rank 1/189
Sat scores/ projected: well, I got a 228 on the PSAT, but I actually studied for the SAT. 2300? I'll know on March 29.
Act scores/ projected: I'll get back to you in a few weeks. Somewhere in the 30s, I'm guessing.
The 1 E.C. that your most proud of: Totally Debate. State semifinalist/quarterfinalist the last two years, 3rd place speaker in league this year.
Athletics: XC (3 years, captain [11]) and Lacrosse (3 years, First team all state [9], Best Midfielder award-team [9+10], named 2nd best player in the region preseason [10], captain [11])
What you like most about ND: Definitely the atmsophere. I'd be a 4th generation domer if I got in, and I was practically raised there.
Scale of 1-10 how badly you want to attend ND in the fall of 08'- 8. I'm an aspiring scientist, and I'm a little leary of the stem cell restrictions.</p>
