What did you make on your ACT?

I was actually a terrible student. Never did any homework. My ACT scores didn't match up with my GPA at all.

yeah thats what ****ed me over. like a 2.8 gpa and a 26 on act. Could have gotten a decent scholarship with the act but needed 3.25. so i scrapped that plan.

My ACT score is what got me accepted into the university I wanted to attend.

The counselor looked at my GPA (2.9 ish), then at my ACT score (30), then looked at me and said "So, didn't like to do homework did you?".

I hear that. I rocked a 2.16 or somthing along those lines. Bottom third of the class. The ACT is a savior, and to think I nearly ruined it by drinking...sheesh

Fortunately they only look at your "academic" GPA, or I would've been in that same boat.

I got a 29 the first time. 28 the second a year later. 30 the third the next month.

I don't think the scores are bs, I think the people that didn't do really well are simply not posting. ha. I'm 17 though and still a senior //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif, so I don't know what kind of scholarships I'm getting though. I am going to MSU, so that's sweet. I don't like U of M much.

Yea I really messed up any scholarship chances I had, if I had gone to any other state school than the one I'm at I would have had a garenteed 1k..which would've helped alittle. any other college you need a 24 and a 2.0....here its a 24 and 2.5 or 3.0.....owell

I never took the ACT. My SAT scores got into the college I wanted, so I was satisfied.

I will let you know in about 2 months. I'm takin my first one on the 9th. Shooting for high 20's -low 30's.

24 with the math score murdering me. I scored 31 on the writing segment, 29 on the Reading/English. I was in the ballpark of 27-29 on science. Math destroyed me, especially since I forgot my calculator. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Heres my proof for any doubters a country boy can be smart.

For some reason, the SAT is not very popular in the Southeast. No clue why?

And IMO, from the average scores around here, anything over 22 is considered fairly smart.
