<p>Owlwise “I’m 99% sure if you do ACT with writing you no longer have to submit subject tests, which means if you do well enough you’ll never have to look at an SAT again.”</p>
<p>:) That sounds like heaven. (No SATs)</p>
<p>And: “how many lower-income students get to do things like study abroad?”</p>
<p>This is completely true. I’ve received sooo many offers to study abroad and go on other summer trips (People to People, National Youth Leadership Conference, etc.). They were all very tempting and I wanted to go. But, everytime you get to the back of the book, you see the prices often ranging in the thousands. I don’t have that kind of money. So, what am I supposed to do? Just because people are more priviledged than others doesn’t mean they deserve to get in a school anymore.</p>
<p>Tal1213, I didn’t complete any Intel or Usamo. And, also, I don’t think that Yale has accepted any kids from my school because, honestly, no one at my school WANTS to go to Yale. I’m the crazy one. And, there was one other crazy one:) I’m coming from a small town in NC. Everyone here wants to go to NC State or UNC or ECU. No one thinks about Yale or Princeton. So, that answers that question.</p>
