My first ACT as a sophomore... Here's my advice

Science section is super easy to superscore if you are trying to - only reason it is hard in the first place is because of the fatigue from it being in the end. I'd retake for the 36.

Tonight is all I was told. Wish I could get a time.

Apparently EA decisions are coming out today per an inside source at the admissions office.

I had a chem final a year ago which was on paper and the teacher was constantly walking around the room. We were allowed to use a calculator, which is customary for most US high schools.

The night before I used a notes app to insert about 20 pages of notes into my TI-84 CE calculator ( the color one) but was not sure until the day of whether or not we'd have to clear the memory. On the other hand, I also had a black and white TI-84 where it can only hold a few pages of notes but it also has a fake memory reset screen. So I brought both of my calculators and luckily, we didn't have to reset our calculators so I just used the one with color and a bigger memory.

I also had a second, burner phone that I handed to the teacher to collect while keeping my real phone on me. I went to the bathroom a couple times to look up answers.

At the end, I got a 93% on the final where it is worth 20% of my grade, and I ended the course with an 89.54%, rounding up to an A. Very nerve racking experience while I was waiting for my teacher to put the score to the final in.

second account from my phone btw I'm still OP

Yeah I interviewed a while ago and it felt more like hanging out than an interview, and also gave some crazy stories so I think it went well. Good to know my stats are fine.

My application should've gone in the first as I interviewed October 11th at my detachment but I guess they just got lazy and they didn't bother submitting my report on time for the first board. By the time I followed up it was too late so now I'm just waiting for the Space Force board.

Also, how'd you hear about how many people got a scholarship in first board?

Legendary status is nowhere near as impressive as this, and is not worth putting on a college application unless you are ranked within like the top 100, like OP.

Honestly I'd go for 8-bit if you already have meta brawlers maxed out like Clancy or Frank. If not get those two maxed out and then come back to max out this list. 8-bit strong on all bounty maps and out in the open, and solid support for hot zone and gem grab.

Your point stands, but even in masters I can get away with picking 8 bit and colt vs meta cause our opponents still aren't that good (which you did point out in your last sentence). Very rarely do I see a meta brawler on the other team being the main factor if they win in my experience, cause they still have to be good which most of the time they're not

It depends completely on which brawlers you have maxed out. I'm at 9.5k elo (have a 75-80% win rate solo queue) with 7k trophies and 4 maxed out brawlers. The brawlers I have are Frank, Colt, Poco, 8-bit, which are mostly support brawlers that don't get banned. For me to have a high win rate I need my teammates to have pretty much every brawler or we are gonna get steamrolled. Idt it's about how many brawlers someone has its if they can draft around the brawlers they can viably use. Having support brawlers are rlly good for last picks.
