<p>So anyway, my mom may have ruined my future. I am very good student (number 1 in my class of 620... 34 ACT ect...) I am applying to top schools, hopefully Stanford ;)</p>
<p>But my mom ruined it all...</p>
<p>She sent in the wrong ACT scores. I scored a 34 composite on a state testing which did not include a writing section. So she sent in this score, and also a 30 composite I received a while ago. She did this becuase it had a writing section, in which I got a 33. However... she did not check with me</p>
<p>I had intended on sending in the 34 composite... and a 33 composite in which I scored slightly lower on the writing, 31. I wanted to do this becuase I realize schools will not put much empahsis on the writing sections. I'd rather them not see I got anywhere near a 30... and have seen the 33 with the lower writing. </p>
<p>I called ACT right away, too late to cancel.</p>
<p>What do I do...! I cant bear to see 4 years of hard work go down the drain becuase my mom made a 3 minute phone call. Do I attempt to contact these schools and thell them situation. Should I send in the 33 composite with lower writing to show I generally scored nearer to 34 than 30?</p>
<p>I am so scared right now... console me... help me. I know this mess up cannot help my admissions chances, it can only hurt them, can you think of any ways to fix this?!? Will schools not look at schools if tell them? </p>
<p>Thanks!!!!</p>
<p>once again you shouldnt be applying to stanford if you cant even send act scores on your own.</p>
<p>Get a life. It's not a big deal...at all. And I agree. If you want things done right, do them yourself! :D</p>
<p>Wow... again, you are ridiculous. I gave her no permission to do so, yet she did. I ask you where you are applying to... and how well you do... you should get a life man instead of tearing down others on a college forum...</p>
<p>no persmission!!! that hilarious. like if your parents are applying for you. i am just saying thats pretty ridiculous.</p>
<p>I mean you're acting like it was an 18 ACT or something. Get over it. These things happen. No use worrying your pretty little head over it :D</p>
<p>My parents were helping me gather information, it is difficult to maintain a courseload of 6 APs, work a job, have a sport, and keep a girlfriend.</p>
<p>I know I should have been doing it all, she was only trying to help. Of course I am doing everything now. I just wish I could fix it... oh well... I hope I get into a school</p>
<p>Im taking SATIs tomorrow, can i cover it up with a phenominal score (currently 2200)</p>
<p>Don't fret. Stanford will take your HIGHEST composite score.
And who says they won't look at the writing? The writing schools are unsure about is the SAT writing, not the ACT. Your mom did not ruin your life.Actually she did the right thing, because they'll take your highest composite and see your highest writiing.<br>
And I agree with the posters who said you should be sending in your own scores if you are so particular about how it's done. You remind me of my daugher who in high school railed at me when I put a blouse in the dryer that I had no idea she didn't want dried (because it might shrink a bit.) From then on, the laundry was hers, baby.</p>
<p>And a 2200 and a 34 act are fine. Worry about your essays now.</p>
<p>dude, chill. Its kinda sad that someone with such credentials is freaking out over a thing like this. Go spend sometime with your gf.</p>
<p>Haha... I will spend some time with my girlfriend... and those essays, well those are another story (blank pages are no good)...</p>
<p>i'd be ****ed. try to do whatever u can. resend the scores or something.</p>
