Yale 2015...Will I get in??

<p>And another thought: If they don’t care about the SAT writing section, why do you have to take ACT with Writing if you take the ACT?</p>

<p>EDIT: In my posts on these thread, I’m not trying to be critical. I’m just wondering.</p>

<p>If you’re in the class of 2015 and you took the SAT when it was out of 1600, wouldn’t that make you ABOUT 8 years old when you took it? Because the SAT has been out of 2400 for quite some time now… And if you were 8, I have to say congrats because I honestly couldn’t even name one eight-year old who did that well on the SAT (or even took it at that age for that matter…). What I’m trying to say is are you sure that your test wasn’t out of 2400? </p>

<p>Also, I just saw that you said that you’re in the 10th grade right now; wouldn’t that put you in the class of 2012 and not 2015? Your story isn’t exactly coming out correctly is it?</p>

<p>What?? Is this true? I’d never heard of anything like this.</p>

<p>

I’m in the class of 2014 and I took the old SAT [out of 1600 only] when I was in 7th grade when I was 12. Be glad that they changed it…the analogies still give me nightmares -_-</p>

<p>A 1600 twice is a really nice score; you should be proud, but what did you get total out of 2400 (which really is the score that the colleges look at no matter what some people are saying…)?</p>

<p>@Chibistar</p>

<p>Really? So you’re saying that we are at an advantage because it’s out of 2400? How so? Plus, who would possibly force you take the SAT at 12 years old? That’s just cruel, when you could’ve taken it your junior and still have had an opportunity to take it twice…</p>

<p>yeah it’s true, my counselor, who’s been around for atleast 20 years in his “field” (or whatever you call a counselor’s profession) told me about it in the 10th grade, and I was just as surprised as you are (and dissappointed for myself)</p>

<p>Overachiever:
2380->2400</p>

<p>overachiever92 ~ I can’t generalize to say that it’s definitely advantageous to taking the newer test. I thought the older CR section was torture, but that’s my personal opinion (I’ve never liked CR in the first place). I think the newer version is a much better gauge of one’s reasoning skills - but then again I was only 12 when I took the old one so my opinion is probably skewed.</p>

<p>Nobody forced me to take it, JHU’s CTY program just sent a some kids info in the mail giving them the option to take the test early. I thought it would be a huge asset once I became a junior/senior, having already taken it 4 times when the majority of juniors/seniors were first-time test takers. Obviously it didn’t help much, since my score is one of the lowest on this board.
Plus, back then I didn’t know that colleges don’t like test junkies :/</p>

<p>I’m just going to point out that it’s impossible to have taken 18 AP classes by junior year and have a 4.05 or a 3.8 unweighted. Especially if you’re a junior because you have fewer years of 5.0s to balance it out. A 3.8 unweighted is like 3 Bs; therefore, your unweighted has to be A LOT higher.</p>

<p>Also, 18 APs by junior year means 6/year or some variation of that. And a lot of schools don’t let you start until sophomore year. I’m thinking impossible?</p>

<p>Yeah don’t even bother pointing out the faults in this guy’s academic story because he probably whipped it out during a game of call of duty on his xbox…</p>

<p>Hahahahahahaha, overachiever92, I think I might love that quote.
I could continue pointing out the other fallacies in his argument, but I won’t.</p>
