High School Class of 2013

<p>^I know, it’s a pain. For some schools I’m going to have to pay 10 dollars to upload my art portfolio to the schools website, and that’s on top of a 60 dollars application. </p>

<p>I’m hoping to get some App fees waived though, through FA and going to portfolio days to meet up with college reps.</p>

<p>You guys know that you can get fee waivers, right?</p>

<p>Ugh, I got a 720 on the Math Level 1 subject test in January, so I retook it in May to try for an 800, since I’m advanced in math. </p>

<p>I GOT ANOTHER 720. Hnnnnnng. </p>

<p>I quit. I’m just going to go work at McDonald’s now. (kidding)</p>

<p>Then I saw the trailers for “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Great Gatsby” and I was suddenly filled with hope again.</p>

<p>Why not take Math II? It’s harder but the curve is much nicer.</p>

<p>I’m in Costa Rica, so highschool starts in 7th grade and ends in 11th. So I’m sort of Class of 2012, but if I was in the US I would be Class of 13 :slight_smile:
I’ll be applying to film schools this year…</p>

<p>I’ve thought about Math Level 2. I know the curve is way nice, and I’ve gone through Pre-Calc and Trig and I’m starting Calc AB on Khan Academy. My naturally progressive brain just thought Math Level 1 should come first. Haha.</p>

<p>I’m taking the Sat Physics subject test for the first time on June 2nd, anyone know its difficulty as compared to the Barrons and PR review books?</p>

<p>Whaaat?? The Great Gatsby is going to be a movie? I’m so watching that.</p>

<p>I know how everyone feels. I just calculated how much apps and score report sending will cost: about $900. In my school, you are only eligible for fee waivers if you receive government assistance, which I don’t (<em>sigh</em>). Gotta start saving up.</p>

<p>Thanks for the subject test advice! I feel a little better. I was getting really discouraged. I will keep working at it, though. Wish me luck!</p>

<p>@1Rachel94 Yeah, but you can only get it for up to 4 schools though</p>

<p>@enzajunior</p>

<p>Barrons is much harder, as usual. PR is pretty close to the real thing, maybe a bit harder.</p>

<p>Do you guys know of any websites with much more realistic SAT Math Level II practice tests?</p>

<p>@myraven11 did you try the college board website?</p>

<p>Really? Then I guess I can only apply to 4 -_-. My parents can only pay for 2 or 3, so that puts me at 6 or 7 :confused: I really hope I get a job because otherwise, I’m screwed.</p>

<p>^Then get a job. It not like you’re buying a new game (if you know what I’m talking about).</p>

<p>The problem is, I can’t stand for very long periods of time. I have screws in my feet. Most jobs for teenagers require hours of standing. My only option is like Kumon or something, but the Kumon in my area isn’t hiring.</p>

<p>If you guys have any suggestions for jobs that don’t require a ton of standing, I’m open to them.</p>

<p>Of course our school manages to pair finals with the week of the SAT Subject tests -__-. I’ve just been using the time to try and integrate some of the Math II material and my pre-calc final if that even helps. </p>

<p>I am also on the list of people who are extremely excited for the Great Gatsby movie. </p>

I agree. About 80% of the graduating class ends up going to the local state schools (Kutztown, Millversville, LVC, etc.) for elementary education or psychology. It doesn’t help that the average SAT score for a student attending a 4-year college is 1480/2400. One senior this year made it into Wharton, the first Ivy at least five years, and everybody is raving over her “super genius” status. And NO, the school </p>

<p>On the other hand, I am very disappointed over my May SAT. I got a 1940. I missed the 2000 mark by 60 -__-. On the bright side, its the third highest single sitting score in my class.</p>

<p>@Mysticalkites</p>

<p>Some want Ivies (mostly Princeton… only Princeton) and the rest want top ~25.</p>

<p>Don’t talk to me about jobs… I already applied billions of times… got “accepted” to 2, declined 1 to accept the other, and then get told they don’t need me… been really sad over that, guess i can start again</p>

<p>I was accepted to a job, but I might have to decline.
I’ll be gone 6 of the 10 weeks this summer.
