What'd you get on your sat/act and where did you go to college

23 ACT

980 SAT

Indiana University

I got a 2400 actually. I was always strong in the math and writing sections but really lucked into it with the vocab on the critical reading. I got recruited to run at some decent D1 schools but ended up at Georgetown because it was a better fit academically than most of the schools that were recruiting me.

When I say UF, I am of course referring to the University of Farts.

How did you get a full academic? I got a 33 and UF offered me $0.

What the eff is an SAT? Never had to take it. I grew up in So Cal, bumbed around surfing, never finished high school, worked at a bar for 5 years back in my parent's country in SE Asia. After my 1st kid was born I came back to the US, took JC classes, UCI/UCLA extension classes for 10 years. Saved up enough to go to UCLA daytime, 5 quarters later, B.S. degree.

Near perfect scores will get you near full scholarships at highly prestigious colleges and universities.

where I of course majored in the liberal farts

I got a 2400 but I wasn't fast enough to get recruited by any of the schools I liked academically. I ended up choosing Olin College of Engineering even though the coach at Carnegie Mellon told me he wanted me to walk onto the team there. I definitely don't regret choosing the better academic fit (even though most people have never heard of it) over the chance to run at a more prestigious computer science school.

I have a profile similar to this poster. Didn't get recruited, because my HS 800 PR was 2:20 and I ran D III and it was a lot of fun.

35 ACT

Went to U of MN, did PhD in Chemical Engineering there as well.

Was recruited by MIT and Wash U in high school.

Princeton. I was recruited.

THANK YOU. For years I've been trying to get across to people that getting in to Princeton doesn't *necessarily* mean you're much of a student.

I took an LSAT class with a Princeton undergrad. She was a very nice person--give her that--but just as dumb as a sack of hammers.

But a hell of a tennis player, I'm told.

PS I'm not trying to single out Princeton, either. The situation is much the same at most of the other Ivies. Maybe not so much at Yale, but that's probably about it.

Harvard definitely has a spot for a great athlete/good-but-not-great student. Shoot, they even took my sister-in-law, with her 13xx/1600 SAT--she was no athlete, either.

1280/1600 1980s sat. Dartmouth- not recruited for my 10 flat 2 mile, shockingly.

36 ACT. Undergrad at Harvard, Masters at Yale, PHD at Oxford.

I also date Swedish Bikini models and make $360k/year

This is the typical lets runner too ^^^

I am a little above average however, make closer to 500k a year in investment banking. 36 ACT Penn Undergrad, U of Chicago MBA

33 ACT

Notre Dame

No bikini models, swedish or other

But 300k for working 120 days a year as a Doctor is way better than the IB life

sat 1020. Harvard (legacy admission).

1360/1600. Went to Bucknell University, then transferred to Penn State.

University of Maryland for medical school.

Penn State for Dermatology residency.

32 ACT, 1480/1600 SAT, Purdue

I was slow so wasn't recruited, not that Purdue's teams were any good when I was there (pretty sure they were in the Big 10 cellar). I did get about 50% of the out of state tuition paid for by various academic scholarships and grants.

I landed a dream job as a professional fart wrangler.
