October 2010 ACT Scores Thread

<p>@SoccerRyan: Don’t worry man, people started to trickle in around the afternoon today. I was surprised this thread wasn’t getting spammed on, then I was like “guess a lot of people aren’t stressed about their ACT scores that early, lol.” That contrasts with the typical College Confidential atmosphere when scores are about to be released. =P</p>

<p>Countdown: 2 hour 50 minutes left.</p>

<p>I don’t really know what to expect, first time taking the ACT I felt that the reading is way easier than the SAT, the english is bout the same although i was confused by the chopped up paragraphs took me the first 5 mins of the exam to figure out where the questions were pointing to haha. The math was easy, the science I felt was just interperting data so nothing hard there. I got a 1740 on the SAT so I really hope that I improve here and get a 30, 31, 32 thatd be a nice jump</p>

<p>Yea, 10 PM pacific = 1 AM eastern. 2 hours 50 minutes.</p>

<p>@jscollins: Yeah, it was so frustrating to repeat the 31 three times. The 32 made me a little happier but still wasn’t quite a 33. I’ll just be happy when I reach 33</p>

<p>I’ll be happy if I get a 30. Where are you guys applying?</p>

<p>Hey, do you guys think that I would be able to use my 30 from 8th grade lol? Would colleges be ok with that (not that i’m going to of course)?</p>

<p>UIUC, betting on this test to offset low GPA.</p>

<p>As far as I know, you can’t use that score.</p>

<p>ill take your 30 from 8th grade</p>

<p>Im applying at pennstate, bowdoin, Umaine, Wash U, and MIT</p>

<p>I’m betting that colleges want something a little more up to date haha. Well… I’ve been up for too long. I think that I’m going to head off to bed. I wish all of you luck! </p>

<p>PS. You guys are going to be horrified with my college list.
University of Missouri - Columbia is my top choice (Journalism, Photojournalism).
I visited it and don’t really want to apply anywhere else, except my teachers have already done recs and everything, so I think I might apply to Syracuse and Boston U also. Just because I need to feel the stress lol. I originally had 5 colleges on my list, but as soon as I saw Mizzou I wanted to drop all of them.</p>

<p>Going to apply (next year) to FSU, UGA, UF, USF, UCF and Penn State</p>

<p>Frostburg? I know a lot of kids that are going to apply there. Maryland schools FTW? I guess… even though I’m leaving… haha.</p>

<p>Hahaha I thought by FSU you were referring to Frostburg. Yeah, no. Florida State. Got it.</p>

<p>Night toppies, GL ! :D</p>

<p>Hoping to get into either Berkeley, Penn, Columbia or Cornell.</p>

<p>If your not gonna do it who cares, i need above a 30</p>

<p>Chill Bieber, you’ll grow up and hit puberty someday… (Not a reference to you but to the actual Justin Beiber)</p>

<p>I don’t wanna see my scores. But I do. But I don’t. But I do…I know i’m not the only one feeling like this right now…</p>

<p>^^ what are you aiming for fisawalab</p>

<p>Hey everyone! I feel weirdly intrusive for popping in after creepin’ on the conversation for awhile. It was my first time taking it…The science section more than likely killed my chances of getting a good score, but oh well. I got a 2130 on the October SAT; does anyone know what ACT score would be comparable to that? Thanks!</p>

<p>36, but I won’t be retaking if I get a 35.</p>

<p>Ooh nice</p>

<p>Im just hoping for 25+</p>

<p>That or anything over it will be a decent start, I still have a while before applying to college lol</p>

<p>why is it taking so long to be 1 a.m. EST!</p>
