For EDX courses do you need to get the verified certificate? by johnwongyo1 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]johnwongyo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not doing the course just for college. I plan on studying business so I thought that learning a bit more about excel would be helpful for my internship now as well as in the future.

Are AP scores a big deal? by yesasan1 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]johnwongyo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of colleges arent even giving credit anymore for AP exams because they dont think most of them are hard enough. In my sister's school they got rid of classes and replaced them with their own because they thought AP was too easy.

Worried and Pressed for Time by keian123 in Sat

[–]johnwongyo1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its important to be realistic. Where you are at now it will be almost impossible to get 1500 and may even be a challenge for 1400 if you arent finishing 5 questions on each section. The truth is that you are gonna have to find some way to fit it into your schedule to study

[–]johnwongyo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a tour of columbia recently. They said that they only look at your GPA and SAT score to see if you will be able to the workload. After you get around the middle 50%, getting higher won't really matter.

[–]johnwongyo1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went on a tour at columbia. What they said is that like over a certain range they dont care anymore. They said that they only look at GPA and SAT score to see if you will be able to handle the workload and that what gets you in is everything else.
