<p>Okay, I know I am eight times as guilty of it, but I'm so sick/distressed about all these perfect stats people have on CC and in general. This competition is going to give me a heartattack. I spent so much money on preparation for SAT/ACT but I will never have the perfect scores so many people on here seem to have, and I am reminded of this with each and every thread I read. I know I will never have a 33, 34 or up on the ACT and I will probably never have high 700s on the SAT. I know it's not all about scores, but I want to go to a top college just as much as the people who have perfect scores do! So, here's a chance for people to list their imperfections! Then, whenever we are confused, stressed, or misguided during the upcoming 2006-2007 admissions season, we can look back at this and make ourselves feel better. So let's keep it going and list anything and everything that we fear might cost us a spot at our dream school. I already said my imperfections were my scores. Here, now you take it...</p>
<p>I've never gotten an A in a history class.</p>
<p>I could have completely understood Calc if I wanted to, but I found it much more gratifying to doodle in my notebook. I still barely made a B, though!</p>
<p>I procrastinate so much, I turned in every one of my college applications the night before the deadline. (PLEASE don't do that!)</p>
<p>I bought a bunch of SAT study guides and never even cracked them open.</p>
<p>I have C in Honors Geometry freshman year (bye-bye MIT)!</p>
<p>This year was the first year that I got above a B in a math class (I got a B+).</p>
<p>I got a C in Physics this year and am damn proud of it :) (average was a 51)</p>
<p>I got a 540 on SAT writing.</p>
<p>i have 4 c's on my transcript, all in math.</p>
<p>2 in geometry, and 2 in pre-calculus. also got a 590 in SAT I math... </p>
<p>good thing i took geo in freshman year. <em>phew</em></p>
<p>I got B's in history from sophomore to senior year.</p>
<p>Had a 600 in both verbal and writing.</p>
<p>Handed my applications considerably near the deadline in three waves of applications from December 7th to 19th. </p>
<p>Never did spell check nor had anyone review any of my answers to essays and short responses. Did my MIT app as an all nighter so by 5 am I failed to provide cohesive arguments.</p>
<p>540 On SAT Writing,
Grades = 50%Bs
only 3 APs
No Community Service</p>
<p>AND WORSE: IM PROUD OF IT!</p>
<p>rock on zach.</p>
<p>I've never gotten an A in English in high school</p>
<p>I've gotten A-s in art classes on multiple ocassions when they're supposed to be easy As lol</p>
<p>I got a 600 on the Math1 SAT II when its supposedly really easy</p>
<p>I procrastinate soooo much. Its crazy, I have some sort of problem</p>
<p>I'm not really motivated to have a lot of ECs. I'd rather just hang out</p>
<p>-I have 2 C's from sophomore year...1 in AP Comp Sci and the other in Chem hns. What's sad is I actually thought I had a B in chem until I just recently checked my report card ....that I received a year ago.</p>
<p>-my gpa is pretty "below average".. 88-89%</p>
<p>-I didn't really practice for SAT's..but I did come out with a pretty impressive score....I think.</p>
<p>I got a low GPA this year...3.74. it's low for where i want to apply so I'm doomed.</p>
<p>I smoke, guess that's an imperfection</p>
<p>haha okay, thanks guys!!!</p>
<p>I got a 4 in IB physics :( 6s and 7s other than that though :D</p>
<p>No extra curricular. Minimal volunteer. Can't study for SATs. Horrible procrasinator. I always get distracted by something when studying.</p>
<p>I can go on..</p>
<p>i have no friends, every hates me. that's my imperfection.</p>
<p>-never got above a 600 on ANY SAT math I/II (560 SAT I, 570 IIc)</p>
<p>-almost no community service (i faked my last 2 hours of my yearly requirement by having my friend sign my sheet) because theatre takes up my life</p>
<p>-procrastinates like a mother</p>
<p>-2 in AP Physics B</p>
<p>=)</p>
<p>can not study for SAT/ACT, worth sh1t. </p>
<p>got a 1 on AP Chemistry</p>
<p>procrastinate like none other </p>
<p>i'd rather get drunk with my best friends than study.</p>
<p>Now for my good qualities.. </p>
<p>-4.0 cumulative
- great ECs</p>
<p>okay I'll save it for another thread. :)</p>
<p>hmm strange my post got deleted</p>
<p>but yea i pretty much sucked at math ever since i entered high school
but my senior year was pretty bad cuz i caught senioritis
and only managed to maintain a B in my ap calc class</p>
<p>i also did my stanford app till the very last minute since i was busy with other apps...so that night, my internet was down and i had to use a friends computer by going to her house 10pm at night.....but something was wrong wit HER internet and i couldnt get on til like 11pm so i had an hour to brush up....i wrote my personal statement in 10 mins and is probably why they rejected me xD<br>
sad story but true</p>
