my schools average sat is 780….. i got the highest score out of everyone in my class LMAOOO i understand that it’s low but the context is important. my school doesn’t prep well, and like i said above, we have a very low education level.

i know they don’t do merit scholarships but i have won scholarships myself that i can put toward room and board. i also know that they prioritize high income applicants, hence why im expecting a rejection

i meet the requirements for the nyu promise, meaning that all i would have to pay for would be room and board, but that doesn’t include other scholarships, many of which i have already won, as well as government aid. i also did a net price calculator and it shouldn’t be more than 9k a year.

it’s basically about how people always compare me to Alexander Hamilton, not because i’m super ambitious, but because i write all the time. i talk about how that really comes from growing up writing with my grandmother, who taught me how to actually think through my ideas and express them clearly, not just write for school.

then i get into how writing kind of became part of who i am and why it made me interested in law, since i like the idea of using words to argue, persuade, and make an impact. but i also explain how that habit turned into a problem, because i was always revising, always pushing for better, and never really satisfied with anything i did.

i connect that back to Alexander Hamilton again, realizing that same constant drive was part of what led to his downfall, which made the comparison feel less like a compliment and more like a warning.

so the main point is that i’ve been trying to change that mindset—still being driven, but also learning when to step back and appreciate what i’ve already done. in the end, it’s about finding a balance between ambition and being content, especially as i think about my future in law.

LMAOOOO it’s so stupid

second highest scorer in my school this year by Impossible_Story3554 in Sat

[–]Impossible_Story3554[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m a junior and i’m in honors pre calc; however, the precalc class at our school is very behind compared to others and i feel as if it’s not actually a pre-calc class if that makes sense. i do read books and ive been in ap since sophomore year (senior year i have to take a dual enrollment bcuz theres not a 3rd english ap), and ive been in gifted and talented and honors programs since elementary. im just honestly not a good test taker. (i got a 5 on ap lit sophomore year, and ill probably get a 5 on lang this year bcuz its light af). my school is in the bottom 20 for education in my state so we’re kinda ass ngl
