<p>What are your thoughts on this? I know UCSD gives points for them, and the UC's in general view them as an EC under the "Educational Preparation Programs" category. Still, I'm not sure whether putting a SAT class down would be a folly. Thanks for your input.</p>
<p>Don't do it for god's sake...unless you're teaching them or something.</p>
<p>If you are teaching them then they would be either a job or a volunteer activity. I honestly can't imagine why anyone would count them as an "educational program" unless they are trying to figure out who has and who hasn't take a prep course in order to use that information for an internal re-calculation of exam results.</p>
<p>It would really help them to devalue your SAT score by a hundred points or so</p>
<p>Roflcopterrr.</p>
<p>Err...no.</p>
<p>Also wanted to point out that "eatsalot" is replying to "ILikeFood"''s thread. Nothing personal against either of you, of course, just found it amusing. :D</p>
<p>It'd seem kinda desperate... like you had no other legitimate ECs.</p>
<p>Wow if you wanna say look at me I studied for a test to the extreme. One saturday test and I waste my life on it. If that is the image you want to come across with, please do (one down 20000 to go).</p>
<p>hahahahahhahaha</p>
<p>Tell me you're kidding, iLikeFood, tell me you're kidding.</p>
<p>:D lol my sat teacher at PR even recommended me not to tell the colleges that I've taken sat class</p>
<p>I don't really intend to put it down; I was just curious as to why the UC system specifically has a discrete category for "Educational Preparation Programs. Apparently, a year's participation in SAT classes nets me 75 points (equivalent of +0.075GPA) in UCSD's review formula: UCSD</a> Freshman Comprehensive Review Process (Dec 2004).</p>
<p>On a side note, I don't recommend SAT classes to anyone. I spent $2300 only to have my 1st real SAT sitting be 30 points lower than my diagnostic test.</p>
<p>don't ever spend over $1000 on any SAT class. I improved my own score by over 200 points by just studying at home and practicing. </p>
<p>Regarding that link above^, i find it interesting how in-state only have a 100 point or so advantage over OOS. I also find it sad how I don't meet two of the criteria for points.</p>
