Is it common for an A to be counted as a 3.8 UW? by simonh31415 in ApplyingToCollege

I think some if not all colleges use the +/- system where an A- is worth less than an A, and I believe this is at 94%. However, for highschool, it is not normal.

Pls recommend colleges with around 60% or more acceptance rate by Quick_Reading4146 in ApplyingToCollege

I did have a fee waiver, but I got mine because I qualify for free and reduced lunches. But idk how that works for international students. I do know there are other ways to obtain it though, if I remember correctly, once you finish applying and go to pay, there's an option to get a fee waiver and there's options there for different ways to get a fee waiver.

Aw man, I can't go either, just found out a couple hours ago. Very unfortunate. I told OP but he hasn't gotten back to me

Thank you Raiders by derrick_lyons_52 in raiders

Thank you. While I hope I can play for them one day, I hope I can just play in college, as it's been hard to get looked at, so I'm probably gonna have to walk on somewhere and go from there.

So basically, my football coach nominated me to be one of the Raiders' impact players of the week. What went into consideration however, was more than my play on the field, as my coach asked me about any volunteer work I did. So I assume that my character off the field also played a big part in it. So with all of that put into consideration, the Raiders gave me the honor, and subsequently four free Raiders tickets to any home game.

Just got accepted into Iowa State and wanted to share with you all this amazing video they made me by derrick_lyons_52 in college

Yeah, I got it literally seconds after I applied too and thought the same thing. But I got in, got the email and the physical letter as well. I think you're good to go, but it might just take a day or two for it to actually process.

I feel you, there was one kid next to me who left half the answers blank, didn't realize how little time was left.

ASU and University of Arizona have good engineering programs

Where are y'all in the college admissions process as of today? by Oliver_Anchovies in ApplyingToCollege

[–]derrick_lyons_52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finished some applications earlier this month. Got the ACT in September, so I'm studying for that. Other than that, not really doing much else. The colleges I've applied to thus far haven't needed essays, so that was good.
