[QUOTE="Notsogr8one"]Okies, I got a 1920 on the SAT with a 1350 composite score... but I still missed the admissions deadline for Rice. CrapB05T0N
No one gets into Rice with a 1920 composite anyway, so dont worry, you saved like $50 (not sure how much their app. fee is). Eh, I think I could have still made it. Looking at all the stats for those admitted the last couple of years I don't think it would have been too unlikely. They seem to be more into diversity of student body than just extremely high scores (which they're still surely interested in).
noone down here takes the SAT colleges don't look at it as much as they do the ACT down here. I got a 28 on the ACT and i have a 2.8 GPA.. goin to auburn next year. WAR DAMN EAGLE!

As I said in the other thread, they look at the SAT as much as they look at the ACT. I dont think my friend got into Bama by some miracle...

Cant you apply for Regular Decision (RD)? January 2nd and I haven't taken two SAT subjects tests. I'm still submitting my application but I really don't see it happening :(

You're incorrect in that southern schools care more about the ACTs.
"It doesn't mean hardly anything." 31 eh? ;)B05T0N
Yeah. I honestly think I could have done better... the last time I took it was my junior year, but when I found out I was national merit I didn't have to bother with the ACT anymore. I'm curious as to how I would have done if I took it again.

I meant 'It doesn't mean hardly anything' is pretty excessive :P

It's kind of true, though, you know? I don't pay a dime for college (I actually get a $1200 refund check every semester), so it means a lot in that sense. But everyone cared SO MUCH in high school... your test scores were like a status symbol... but you get to college and NO ONE cares, you know? It's just not that important now.

so true.
It ultimately matters what your grades are like in college, what school you went to, and MOST IMPORTANTLY your actual skills. Social, technical, you know real job skills. That seems to elude a lot of high schoolers. Thats what schools need to preach, not numbers.
Not even where you went matters that much except for the ability to get ridiculously high end jobs out of college in specific fields.B05T0N
I go to a state college in Mississippi.
I'm not sure if that's me. I'm an anthropology major, and I could honestly see me doing research or something of the like... that may not be a ridiculously high end job, but it's what would make me the happiest.
