<p>I thought my district was the only one. Lewisville ISD is a district.</p>
<p>I know a guy who got the same PSAT as me sophomore year and ended up a national merit scholar with a full ride to OU.</p>
<p>Open</a> University?</p>
<p>it would've sounded more impressive if u said fullride to washu, stern, columbia or something...</p>
<p>WOW this is so funny... u actually put down
"who's who in american highschool students"
as an achievement??? those are scams that ask u to buy their book... colleges are gonna laugh at you and think, "what a gullible dude"... i get those kind of stuff every year and dont bother wasting my time opening it anymore.</p>
<p>Yeah, it is a scam. I wouldn't recommend putting it down, they do it just to sell books :(.</p>
<p>As far as your stats, they look fine. Just up the SATs to at least 650+ in each category, preferably 2100+. </p>
<p>Try to check out some good ECs. Rice looks like a pretty big reach, but its certainly possible if you up the SAT, and do some more ECs.</p>
<p>If you were to establish residency for the UCs, you would need to move ** NOW. ** You need a year's residency before you apply.</p>
<p>i don't understand why you ask for advice, but each time someone offers any sort of guidance/criticism/advice you automatically get defensive and think up an explanation or snide evasion of their questions...just calm down and accept what other people have to say</p>
<p>I accept what people have to say when it is put nicely, and is constructive criticism.</p>
<p>When people come and bash my 1800 SAT when it is a sophomore score, I get annoyed.</p>
<p>Especially when people accuse me of "making up" an English course, it is annoying. </p>
<p>Xokandykyssesox, I said he got a full ride to Oklahoma University because that is where he got a full ride, I was giving an example of someone who had done well with my sophomore PSAT score that others bashed.</p>
<p>well if a fullride at Oklahoma University is your
GOAL
then fine, be my guest. it would've made a better argument if u said, "someone with my sophmore SAT score got a rullride to MIT"</p>
<p>btw, my friend got a 1450/1600 in 7th grade... so um... yeha... ur sophmore scores dont really say much</p>
<p>I never said that is fabulous, but it is a full ride.</p>
<p>I said a full ride to OU because that was what he got. I'm not going to lie and say he got a full ride to MIT.</p>
<p>Again, that is the old SAT. I took the SAT in 8th grade, 710V/770M, but that doesn't count now, it's about the new SAT.</p>
<p>We are supposed to be talking about my statistics, not all your fabulous friends. If you want to live vicariously through association with high achieving people, I can compete with that too but there is no point.</p>
<p>I got over that in elementary school, the whole "I have a friend who is better than you because..."</p>
<p>it seems kinda hard to believe that u got a 580 on the new math and a 770 on the old one... considering the old one supposidely also covers the "hard" part of algebra that u never took yet...
hey, math is math. u either know how to do it, or u dont know how to do it. </p>
<p>x - y = 5
2x + y = 4</p>
<p>will always equal the same x and same y regardless of what SAT it is</p>

</p>
<p>and once again, this seems unrealistic as xokandykyssesox said... a 770m to a 580 is pretty weird... especially when collegeboard and most colleges consider the two tests to be interchangebale</p>
<p>and again, the sophomore score is no excuse, i had a 1490 frosh year... and i'm pretty sure that was before i took algebra II...</p>
<p>not trying to put u down, but it is kind of true that those are hardly excuses</p>
<p>Well let's not bother talking about the SAT anymore. I realize my score wasn't exceptional; but I can bring it up, I've got a year and a half, in which I'll learn a lot more.</p>
<p>I plan to retake the SAT so that 1800 won't be a final statistic, therefore there is no point telling me it is sub par, because I'm going to bring it up.</p>
<p>I should have said that a lot earlier. It's just irrelevant to discuss it.</p>
<p>its just so funny to press at u cuz u get so defensive at every single comment and yet u ask for comments... i mean... did u want everyone to praise u? is that the point of this thread? so people make a few comments on your SAT... i dont see how your score can go down when generally people's scores go up... i mean, the writing maybe u can say u got a 580... but if u got a 710/770, then your other scores should be like 750/780 now that you're a sophmore. so like, your new SAT score SHOULD've been 2100+ ... but yet... its not</p>
<p>the verbal/math might have changed slightly, but the CONTENT didnt change THAT much for a 100-200 point drop</p>
<p>I don't entirely remember what I got on that SAT so far back, but it was high and I think that was it.</p>
<p>Anyway like I said it's irrelevant because I'm taking it senior year and that's the one that counts.</p>
<p>Your first statement tells me that you are bothering me for fun, not offering constructive criticism.</p>
<p>I did not make this thread for your humor, I made it for my benefit. I realize I'm defensive at times but it's because people are unreasonable sometimes.</p>
<p>If you can't handle this thread, get off it, simple as that. I think it's kind of funny how you are using internet lingo on a college forum.</p>
<p>ummm... how is it funny to use internet lingo on CC??? y wuld any1 want to type the whole sentence? am i writing an english essay here?</p>
<p>Mathwhiz? I scored higher than you on math when I was in 7th grade and had just learned what the word algebra meant. I'm just playin. Didn't you get a 1510 on the old SAT though? Stick with that.</p>
<p>mathwiz: don't forget to put TWO spaces after your period! after all, that's the "proper" way isnt it</p>
<p>hey guys, why all the bitterness?</p>
<p>I believe that you will do better on math SAT after finishing Algebra 2. I think you should take it again junior year as well as senior year. </p>
<p>I don't recommend pushing one of the senior year AP courses to junior year. IMHO, your schedule is really good already junior year, and it might be too big of a challenge to do much more in one year. However, if you want to get rid of something, someone above said something useful- if the AP Physics is C it includes calculus and I don't recommend taking that while you're taking calculus. If it's AP Physics B i highly recommend that you do take it-it is a great course. If you want to move one course to junior year, I'd probably say economics, but I've never taken that so I'm not really sure.</p>
<p>I think the writing the book is really cool and you should try to get it published.</p>
<p>Right now I think the schools are reaches but if your SATs go up to around 2000, you should have a very good shot.</p>
