<p>ahh no one care about prestigeous programs in Korea...
I am into CMU compsci but my parents want me to go to UPenn SEAS...
Hopefully I get into Caltech and solve all my problems...</p>
<p>lol.
I think CMU's fine. Just make sure you print out the fact that CMU is one of the best for Comp Sci. in the States. lol.</p>
<p>guyz.. how do you study for the SAT CR part??ㅠ<em>ㅠ
my math and writing is on the 700 line but my CR cannot go above 600...ㅠ</em>ㅠ
more shockingly, my recent practice test shows how i am not prepared for the May SAT..
guyz seriously, can anyone tell me their technique for CR?
I just want my verbal to be on the 600 line.. no more...ㅠ_ㅠ</p>
<p>Well, if you concentrate on techniques, the furthest you will get to is somewhere in the 600's... I think, it's all about active reading skills and concentration that matters. Also, read your questions carefully. There are LOTS of trick questions... If you are a junior right now, think about taking the test after the summer. Start reading SAT-type articles and increase your comprehension skills. Finish rest of the SATII's first, and plan your SATI carefully. Although some may disagree, your actual reading skill does matter quite a lot in the CR section it seems like.</p>
<p>I'm in Seoul.
Until August I'm basically unemployed. TT</p>
<p>^ where are you gonna be heading?</p>
<p>hpm twista: Yeah as etherealkev said, reading skills matter a LOT. I've noticed that when I read those boring passages, I would only read with my eyes, not with my mind. And so I would end up going back to passage for each question, which took up A LOT of time.
Just force yourself to read boring passages - politics, history, art, etc... And you'll get a hang of it after awhile.
Plus my level of vocabs was really low before I started studying for the sats and I ended up having to memorise heaps of words. Some may disagree that vocabs arnt important but I found that if I finish vocab in like 4min (~10 questions?), I have more time to work on the passages (my weak bit).</p>
<p>You just gotta try out differnt methods. You may like reading the questions first before reading the passage. Or maybe your thing is more of a non-whole-passage-reading thing: just going back to the passage for every question (which doesnt work for me).
Or maybe your thing is more like spending a lot of time reading the passage quickly and whizzing through the questions (my kind of thing).</p>
<p>You just have to try out different methods to know what's good for you. And always time yourself. Make sure you're always under time pressure and constraint.</p>
<p>any NYUers?</p>
<p>Oh Boston
I hope I'll know what I'm doing when I'm there.</p>

<p>Hi guys,
I'm going to Cornell next year.</p>
<p>Are you guys thinking about military service?</p>
<p>Well, technically, I'm a Canadian citizen and American resident... but I always wanted to go to military. Is there a way for me to join after finishing college even if you had to give up the Korean citizenship? It really is a pity that Korea doesn't allow dual citizenship... I mean... come on... Taiwan works fine with it... why can't Korea as well?</p>
