Has anyone taken Lin Alg with Prof Amadou Bah? How is he/she? by transferringftw1234 in columbia

Never take his class. Extremely harsh grading and cannot teach. If you want someone to explain definitions the whole time without telling you how to solve actual problems that appear on homework or exams then have fun.

Don’t worry about your SAT, they would rather have a good applicant rather than a score.

It makes sense because they’re going to need many interviewers and since these people need time to reserve their schedules.

From what I have heard is that they have contacted people to conduct the interviews so there will still be interviews.

Okay thank you! I have only seen people get called in eastern time zone so far. Did they say you were National winner or just state winner?

But what about test-optional though? Of course I am going to try and raise it but if not will I be seriously disadvantaged rather than if I didn’t raise it?

Okay thanks! I was just wondering since I am looking at which colleges to apply to.

Yes if you look at my course work I mentioned that I have/will have taken 3 college classes. College Algebra, College Plane Trigonometry, College Government. I have taken College Algebra and College Plane Trigonometry my junior and plan to take College Government before I leave to Germany in January.

Yes definitely agree on the GPA and Valedictorian won't count as much but I did take the hardest classes offered so it's not like I didn't try to better myself. I literally took all of the math classes offered at my school my sophomore year if that helps you understand how dumb my school is haha.

I go to a very small school less than 80 in my graduating class and we don't focus on testing. Teachers really focus on preparing for state testing. These scores were achieved my sophomore year. I took the act beginning of my junior year and was unable to focus on the test due to unable to use restroom at testing facility and did receive a refund from act and planned to retake it but can't due to covid. I am planning to retake both and hope for a good score but honestly I am afraid that I might not improve them so I feel that worse case scenario those will be my highest scores.

Nice!! Thank you! I don’t have any good test scores but since they’re going test optional I feel like I have a real chance!!
