<p>@liv4physicz, Yes I am a URM.</p>
<p>What colleges are you looking at?</p>
<p>oh, and I’m taking calc ab next year. I got a 28 last time. It’s actually ok for Brown but I want a 30+ to be sure. My target was at least a 30 this month and hopefully a 34 on September. I better get my 30 though. I studied so much I got a cold, and that usually only happens during AP testing not SUMMER VACATION TIME :/</p>
<p>lookin’ at Michigan and Northwestern <3 <3 <3</p>
<p>jallidalli, you can totally do it. you definitely sound smart. i got a 28 on my first act then got it up to a 31 with not even that much studying, so you should definitely get at least that</p>
<p>@liv4phsicz, let me guess majoring in Physics?</p>
<p>In one of the Stanford decision threads, in the Stanford forum, somebody got in with a 20 ACT and Hispanic.</p>
<p>likely engineering hahaha, but physics is definitely central for that :)</p>
<p>I’m applying to Michigan as well.</p>
<p>^AND HE GOT IN!?!?! what. the. hell.</p>
<p>cool! you’re outta state, right? what school are you applying to?</p>
<p>Yeah I’m OOS</p>
<p>Michigan
Stanford (absolute DREAM school)
University of Florida (State school)
University of Central Florida (state school)
MIT
Harvard</p>
<p>I know I think he might be ■■■■■■■■ but I don’t know.</p>
<p>And going to use my URM status to my FULL advantage.</p>
<p>Alright guys peace, going to go watch NBA Finals Game 6. GO MIAMI!!!</p>
<p>what do you want to major in?</p>
<p>and what’s your gpa?</p>
<p>hahah, probably is. i doubt theyre THAT desperate for diversity</p>
<p>Computer Science and GPA of 3.99, and weighted of 5.84</p>
<p>I have ALL the stats to get in, but it’s this ****ING standardized test that’s standing in my way.</p>
<p>WOE how is your GPA over a 5?!?! oh do APs get inflated?</p>
<p>great gpa, definitely impressive. dont worry aboiut it. ive seem URMs get in with 30s. make that your goal. just a few more points! take the summer to study.</p>
<p>^ Yeah. Honors are +1 and AP’s +2.</p>
<p>Yeah going to study over the summer. But, I might get lucky on this test. <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>^ omg Honors are +.5 and AP is +1 at our school.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have a school system that does it like that?</p>
<p>nope. AP/Honors are both +1.</p>
<p>OUCH!! I like our system better. haha.</p>
<p>@Konata - That’s what mine is like.</p>
<p>Another school near mine has +1 for Honors, +2 for AP (I’m jealous).</p>
<p>Even though discussion has died down on this thread I thought I’d ask a question: </p>
<p>For those who have taken the ACT before, what was your English score and did you think you performed better this time around?</p>
