Lucky... I had your junior score as a sophomore, but it doesn't count. X-(
BTW, I never understood the 1-5 scale.

which i why i'm wondering : /</p>
<p>I'm going to fill out the form in a bit, saying my stats. I have no idea how I got in, because I don't have straight As, and I got a 172 on the PSAT. I really think it's because of my essay skills, which I know I'm good at.</p>
<p>I also live in North Jersey i have not got my results.</p>
<p>I ain't the postal service, so who knows. If you don't get anything by Tuesday, contact the school.</p>
