Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
Yeah. College is day-care for adults. lol. Don't stress it. I'm not exactly the perfect student (a C in the first quarter of AP Eng. and Hist.), but I've been talking to my college counselor, and she says that as long as you've actually been trying and if you do good on AP tests and your SAT/ACT tests, you're good. Besides, if you don't know what you want to do yet, just go to community college to get the requirements out of the way, then go to somewhere else once you have it figured out, and you can work on just your major. Make sure to do some community service, get into clubs, do community work, etc. Hope this helps.
You want me to do what again?!
Why Me?
I'm applying to two ivy's and believe me I'm shaking in my boots. I wouldn't apply to them if i was totally unqualified, but i still believe I am under-par.
The only reason I consider applying is because even though I have a 94/ 100 avg (I don't know how that translates on the 4.0 or 6.0 scale??)(Advanced/AP classes included), i feel like its really not enough.
My resume shows that I have been Capt. of the Girls Varsity golf team for 2 years (I've been on the team since freshman year), I am a part of a program which is like a Doctorate but in High school (basically a gigantic research paper/thesis on Art and Math. REALLY BORING), That I own my own business (I make t-shirts in my garage and sell them at school), and that I have managed to be the president of french club 2 years running, and am the Prop crew head for the yearly musical (and community service and all that jazz)
I only hope that with that and an art portfolio...i can get into Wash U (if not there UPENN)
Don't freak out, I'm sure the girl was just trying to freak out everyone else. ( I know I do it at college meetings when other moms ask where else I'm applying. When I went to the Washington University meeting (its my first choice school btw), i tried to freak out all of the other kids by saying that i was applying to Yale, Harvard and Upenn, and this was just a backup (hoping they wouldn't apply and that I could take their spot)....
sneaky I know.

Community college >_<...that's really bad place to get your education... Jobs don't like to see community college. Plus, it's extremely hard to go from community college to a good graduate school. Education is very different community v. a real prestigious college.

What did you get on your SAT/ACT? More than half of the people who send their application has 2300-2400/35-36 score. But then again, there are people who have the same score apply to non-ivy leagues...
The below statement is false.
The above statement is true. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Not too well, about a 1950 (650 across the board), but that puts me in the lower mid-range for the two that I'm applying to (Upenn has 650-740 for verbal and 680-760 math, I'm in their ACT range, i got a 28, and Cornell is even lower than that)
Looking at some alternative sites the only reason that I apply is because I own my own business, coupled with all of my extracurricular activities, thats nearly 20+ hours a week.
Wow, then it's going to be extremely hard to get into Harvard. When applying to colleges, you shouldn't look at the minimum points in SAT/ACT. Over 60% of the applicants in Ivy Leagues have almost a perfect score. Last year, there were 1000 applicants (for Harvard) who had perfect scores on their SAT. And, they too had lots and lots of extracurricular activities. BUT, Harvard looks not only at that, but also something that makes you extremely unique. What was even more strange though was that a student with 1200 got into Harvard. How? Well, he was #1 in every single activity you can think of. School president, football captain for 3 years, #1 with playing his instrument, etc...
You really need lots of luck for applying to Ivy League. It's very competitive... Good luck, and if they don't accept you, build up your business and buy Harvard and then fire the admission guy who didn't take you in :D! That would be funny but jk! xD

I'm applying to Harvard with a 1910 on my SAT's and I got a letter saying that they could help pay for 100% of my fees. Not #1 in anything, only leadership positions were 1 last year and one this year. However, I'm a black female pursuing an degree in engineering, I am a desirable commodity, especially after that crack from the Dean I think saying that women were stupid or something like that.

I'm not actually applying to Harvard, I just say that I am so that I'll scare the other kiddo's that want to apply to my top 4 away. (WashU, UPenn, NYU, Cornell).
Those are definately better (easier) than Harvard.
