Perfect scores.

Living in a dumpster.

>go now

Not ALL of us are babbys.

Took SATs in 2002. 800 math, 770 verbal. Amherst College.

1930 SATs in grad school with an intership with the UN lined up with a possible career there afterwords.

standardized tests dont mean shit.

Average state school

I don't give a fuck

>>4409036
It was more of a joke on affirmative action. Still, why aren't you at a better University.

>>4409052
>Still, why aren't you at a better University.
University?
Sorry.

>>4409052
Not enough dosh

1400 SAT
1390 GRE
GRADSCHOOL BITCH

Seriously, no one actually cares what your SAT score is.

>>4409052


Well I'm not the guy you're responding to, I'm>>4409041
but I bet I could give you an answer. I could be going to a better school with my score, granted not Harvard or anything like that, but I live in Texas and could easily be going to say Rice or SMU. The problem I have is that it would be too damn expensive, whereas with the score I have now these state schools will pretty much pay me to go there.

>>4409068
Yeah same, these state schools are so desperate.

>>4408986
Took SAT almost 10 years ago.

~1200/1600

Currently, working at the LHC.

>>4409068
Got a genuine Peter Wiggin in here.

>>4409074
Yeah, I've never understood the "money is no object" mentality when it comes to college. I'm not going to become a fucking wage slave just so I can get the same degree tacked on with massive amounts of debt. Fuck that shit.

Senior in HS right now, took the ACT last fall and got a 36 composite.

>>4409068
How expensive is Rice these days. It wasn't that expensive when my sister went there. That was also 1998.

>>4409068
Rice can be pretty hard to get into. It is much harder to get into then SMU and UT.

Rice in the only "ivy teir" school in all of texas. There are literally hundreds of kids with perfect SAT/ACT scores rejected every year.

2090
32

LSU because I'm white, thus must exert 80x the effort to get in elsewhere. Can I get a scholarship elsewhere? Fuck no. Why? I'm white.

feelsbadman.jpg

I don't remember what my score was because I didn't give a shit about school, however, I remember one of my teachers saying I got one of the highest scores in California.

I just shrugged and said something like, "cool". I'm starting to wonder what he was talking about, though.

>>4409095
Whelp in state, about $35,550 a year. Way more than I could afford.

perfect score on the math, (540?) on the english, and lol400 on the writing. i'ts been like 7 years though, so I'm not sure those numbers are right

>>4409095
Rice is about $35,000 per year

>>4409101
Trying too hard.

>>4409099
Yeah... maybe not Rice... but the point is I could've gotten into a better school than UNT easy.

>>4409105
It is set up that way so only rich kids or fucking genius's go there. I take it you aren't a genius then.

:(

>>4409100
at least you're not asian

>>4409107
I can't tell if you're serious. I don't know how the test was scored 7 years ago, but if it's the same as today... that would be about average.

>>4409105
What does in state have to do with anything. I thought Rice was private.

1990 SAT
>Going to school
All I do is eat pizza rolls, idgaf

30 on the ACT(Top 1% at the time)

Went to community college then transferred to an average state school.

Never took the SAT/ACT, ended up in a college anyway. Go figure.

>>4409118
Yeah, I didn't study or try very hard. I did well in my undergrad at a state school. Doing grad school at a top 10 now.

>>4409100
>LSU

>>4409113
Trying to hard to do what, show off? Why would I care what others think of me? I'm posting as anonymous. There is no point in trying to hard so why would I make that up?

800 in CR, 780 in math for SAT
33 overall on ACT
Also high school lurker

33 on ACT
I attend Vassar College.

Or sports.

Although LSU shat themselves against AppSt today.

>>4409150
>Fizix

>going to liberal arts school

at least you got the "fag" part right

26 composite. No real correlation between ACT/SAT scores and future success. Either way, I am doing quite well at my university. Do well on your scores, though. They will definitely help with your admissions.

>>4409183
Are you one of the 76 kids who ended up being too stupid to get in?

HSfag here. Didn't take the SAT yet, but I'm hoping for a 2300+. Just doing a lot of practice tests in the meantime.

Highschoolfag too

Got 2100 or something on SAT
Didn't take ACT
Not applying to college... yet at least

720 reading 700 math 680 writing. Good technical school, no complaints.

HSfag. 1960 on SAT; hoping for better when I retake in the spring.

>SAT:1470 (Took it in sophomore year while in Geometry.)
>ACT: 25

currently attend Brown University

>>4409201
Expect at most a 1700. Unless you're getting 100%;s on your practice test without even trying you're going to do average on the SAT.

2450, Harvard.

>>4409235
>2450 on a test out of 2400.

Not sure if trolling or just trolling.

20 act, 2.3 high school gpa. obviously tried very hard.

just good enough to get into a state school. currently second year math/physics with close to a 4.0 gpa.

>>4409220
I got a 2230 and am going to brown next year

what are you studyin?

Took it twice, 2380 first time, 2400 second time. Currently a Junior at Harvard.

>2220 on SAT
>34 on ACT
>didn't study for either of them
>accepted to UCLA and Berkeley

feelsgoodman.jpg

>>4408986
I got a perfect score on my ACT and I think I got around a 2300 on the SAT.

Currently attending Stanford.

>Getting up an extra Saturday morning to get 20 more points (chump change)

>>4409361
Which one are you going to bro?

I think I got 1720, although I once got a 1820 on the PSAT

Arizona State University

>>4409371

UCLA

>>4409373
>ASU
>even a college

>90% acceptance rate

>>4409377

Yep, its true. ASU just accepts everyone. I think the SAT requirement is like 1100. The drop out rate is also ridiculously high too.

>never took SAT/ACT
>high school GPA literally 0.0 for first two years
>yfw third year at UC Berkeley

>>4409382
>its

I think you mean it's.

Do people honestly expect to get a job after going to ASU?

>>4409384

I intentionally dont use apostrophes. Waste of time in my opinion.

>Do people honestly expect to get a job after going to ASU?

Yes...? A lot of people do.

Its not a bad school, depending on your department.

>>4409388
>It's not a bad school

Somebody help this child.

Do you want some valuable advice? Forget about grades. Nurture your creativity. Come up with business ideas and learn how to get them off the ground and fine an appropriate market.

I went to community college to help find an environment where I could learn what I needed to without having to pay ridiculous sums of money and eventually I put it to use. Right now I co-own a business with my father and I've got another one of my own (I'm a programmer; develop apps and am working on a big project as well), and I'm planning on starting my own charity organization this summer.

You will need a lot of passion to succeed this way though. I grew up playing a lot of chess and grand strategy games so I've learned about most economics concepts on my own and my critical thinking skills are very well developed. In those games I learned how to utilize every resource to its maximum potential. Risk vs. reward is a very key concept.

Most people on /sci/ are very smart and talented individuals, but a lot of them lack the creativity and passion to get anywhere on their own, so they end up studying hard and devoting all their time to school so they can end up working for someone else. If you don't have a creative hobby then I suggest you pick one up. Music is probably the best so long as you actually learn how to write your own and not simply strum a couple guitar chords you read off a tab.

Good luck

I love free living faggots like you who don't want a boss. I just barely graduated in the top 10% of my class at the Wharton School of Business specializing in Finance.

You know what buddy? I don't mind being someone's bitch Monday-Friday if I'm making 120k a year.

A perfect example of why mankind is doomed.

>>4409438
>business school

>>4409446
Funny because the real innovators stay in school until they come up with the idea and then they drop out. They don't come up with the idea so they can stay out of school.

You're just a white collar version of the little kid who tells his parents he doesn't need to study because he's going to be a rapper or an NBA player.

YOU are a perfect example of why mankind is doomed.

>>4409438

I study at a business school. I meet people like you. People who are like "Dude, resident /sci/ economist, dont take the internship, it doesnt pay, its not worth it."

and then they end up like, parking cars or something, because it pays.

I would love to work that is free IF it was worthwhile. The idea of making an income makes me upset, because I know that money goes to the government.

>>4409438
...

I have a couple million dollars in inheritance and in a matter of 5 years I've amassed over a million from the contracts I've been given on my own. I'm working on developing apps with the military (encryption services) with my former employer (who owns a couple local businesses and helped get my feet on the ground so many years ago) and I've already got great connections with a lot of the big dogs around these parts.

Congrats on being a useless bitch that doesn't contribute anything to society. Congrats on the shitty schedule and congrats on being a virgin, you dumb cunt.

I used to be an accountant too, actually. Back when I worked with temp agencies until I decided to pursue programming due to my fascination with technology (computer technologies specifically).

You're hopeless, kid. Like the other guy said, you are a prime example of what's wrong with the world. You were bullied in high school too, weren't you? Just another uncreative dork with no real ambitions.

>>4409464
Except I went to school, I co-owned a business while in school, and I worked on my ideas and started my own business while in school.

You're a joke.

>mfw everyone on here is a rich, sheltered bitch
>mfw i had to work my ass off for the 90k/yr engineering job
>mfw i fucking paid my college loans myself, no parents helping me at all

>>4409481

What business did you own?

Because, you know, anyone can start a business. An accountant bro and I for fun were going to start a corporation just for fun once.

>>4409474
For someone who lives a seemingly very satisfying life, you sure sound pissy.

>>4409470
Sorry, but you can't really compare ASU's business school to the best business school in the world.

>>4409474

That's really quite funny how you assume the financial sector doesn't contribute anything to society. You might consider taking a history lesson if you don't understand how Wall Street impacts the world everyday.

Protip: We likely wouldn't have near the level of technology without the financial markets.

>>4409481
That's cute. I had a business when I was at Wharton too.

average (ACT), more so than I thought and more so than I should've allowed-- I let myself get bogged down instead of skipping to questions I could do better
community college (you may begin your mocking now)

Grades don't mean shit when getting into a good university.

It's all about how much money you have and thank god I was born rich.

How did I score? Lol, not gonna say but let me tell you it's the same in the real world. It doesn't mean jack shit if you got perfect grades, perfect test scores, and perfect everything else. What matters in this world is connections, just make em and you'll succeed no matter what. NO MATTER WHAT.

>>4409491

>Sorry, but you can't really compare ASU's business school to the best business school in the world.

>>4409490
It's called testosterone and having a natural temper. I get it from my father. Having a big dick comes along with it.

>>4409491
Hahaha...I never said anything like that. I said YOU weren't going to contribute anything. You're just someone else's bitch. A cog in a valued system, sure, but just another cog of countless others.

>>4409489
I can't give names or locations for the sake of privacy and avoiding getting trolled by chantards, but my father and I own an autobody shop (he's been a mechanic for his whole life, but he's incredibly smart and made a shit ton from investing). My business works on developing software for other clients and some of which we sell ourselves and put our own name on. I have a couple others that work for me, mostly doing maintenance work and coding as well as art/graphical UI design. For the encyption software, as I mentioned I am working on that with a former employer and he was the one that started most of that work and got the connections for that contract. I am practically best friends with his son and I'm also great friends with him as a result.

I've also got a couple 'joke' businesses like you mentioned. Own a couple strange websites with a few friends. Also have some money in one of my musician friends who's doubled my investment incredibly fast (he is connected with some of the most talented musicians here as well).

I will be the first to admit that knowing the right people is a big part of it, but if you're smart enough you'll make it regardless.

>>4409506
>implying the top 20 kids in my high school class didn't all get free rides to prestigious and state universities.
>implying you're not 13 years old and you're father promised you that you'd get into Princeton easily.

Connections can only get you so far; You've got to meet them halfway. Ivy league schools don't give a shit if you're a billionare if you have a 1.3 GPA and a 1500 on the SAT

>>4409495
I don't even know what Wharton is. Also, I'm not American, if that helps clear things up.

>>4409519

There is a sort of culture about business school thats really bad. The business school culture puts a high value on interpersonal relationships. Thats probably the one good quality about that culture. So I agree.

>>4409546
This is the problem a lot of smart kids have these days. They study hard in high school but they make no friends, they have no confidence, and they don't learn how to socialize or pursue anything of real value and so they never have the right opportunities. It carries on from high school to post-secondary, and then into the workplace and the rest of their life. I meet a lot of these guys and they tend to have a defeatist attitude by the time they're working and remain virgins even at the age of 30.

That's why charismatic people tend to make it to the top regardless of their skill and performance.

SAT: 2307

>>4409559

Yes yes yes.

I know far too many hilariously autistic engineers.

Yeah, I like to put this in economic terms. Knowing people is like a technological efficiency. If everyone knows 5 more people we are all more likely to know the people who can help us. And vice verse, we can help more people.

And then cynicism is a big thing too.

But come on. You should get 800 on math. Writing is bullshit, just write a lot and that's at least a 700. So all you need is a 600 on verbal, which isn't hard if you've ever read books not written for children and you're not autistic or whatever.

I'm not opposed. I like Davis as a city a lot. I like the department. It'd be nice to get out of California for awhile though. That being said, I'm taking a year off before applying to grad school for logistic reasons.

How do you like Davis so far? University, physics department, the city, whatever.

>>4411632

I was wondering because it seems like I've had a lot of TAs who also went here for undergrad.

I dig it here. Being a frosh sucked, but now I'm getting more involved in my classes/talking to profs more. I'm kind of horrified about next fall though. I hear 105A is rough.

>>4411645
It was pretty rough when I took it with Calderon. 105A and B were probably the hardest classes for me. It's not needlessly difficult though. Sometimes physics is just hard.
