Author Topic: I got a 27 on the ACT  (Read 2195 times)

SAT is definitely more widely preferred. Except weird backwards states like Utah. All the colleges here prefer ACT.

That being said I've never seen a school that didn't accept both. Some prefer one over the other, but I've never seen them rule out one or the other.

My highest sub was 34 on math, I was really happy when I got my scores back, lol

I got a 27 in 7th grade and haven't taken it since. Should probably take it again seeing as I am a senior and should have already gotten it done and applied for college. :x

holy stuff dude, a 27 in the seventh grade means you could've gotten a 32 by now if you'd been doing it.

It's really not that big of a deal.

yeah, only the difference between a few thousand dollars in tuition costs and a full ride to 90% of colleges. no biggie.

I don't really have any way to go to college at the moment. I got lazy and messed up my grades last year plus my parents dumped my "college fund" onto my little brother and my stepdad's new motorcycle. I'll just go reserves and use my top 3% ASVAB score to get them to pay for my school. I'm sure they have a bio engineering MOS somewhere.

medical technician is top dollar, i'm sure you can find a use for it in the military.

I got a full tuition scholarship to a state university for getting 1860 on SAT and like a stuff GPA. The requirements for the scholarship were like 550 math and reading and atleast a 3.0 gpa which  I don't think I actually had

I've always wanted to help design and build prosthetic plus I'd love to get into this new organic 3d printing. Shoot, I even have designs one how to implant a cool set of wings on a person. All that you would need to remove is a small section of the shoulder blade and insert a smaller shoulder joint. New shoulder connects to a wrist on the wing much like bats and avians. Muscles are either attached to shoulder muscles that pull when you flex your shoulders or move them forward or added in independently. The real trick would be getting the nerves from the new wing to work correctly with the brain but I've gotten some cool ideas from the new prosthetic that have come out in the past couple of years.

Look at me, I'm rambling.

SAT is preferred on the east coast, ACT is preferred everywhere else.

Wrong. SAT is preferred East/West and Texas, ACT is preferred in the middle states.

Really?  I've always been told it was the East coast only.  Well either way all colleges accept either, and there's ways to convert your score so it doesn't really matter which you take.

I was predicted to get like a 30 on the ACT I think...

I don't remember the exact score, but I took a practice SAT last year and did better than 98% of the people in the literary portion. Still waiting for this year's scores
