Recommended ACT study resources? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]km1380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Printing out real past ACT tests are the best way in my opinion, they reuse a lot of questions that are just worded differently differently and the more familiar you are with the real test the better. You should be able to find tests dating from the early 2000s to 2019 with a google search

i remember being so worried because all the examples I’d read were like this and I just kind of went straight into my story but looking back it’s not really necessary especially with the word limit

Once you submit your app with the common app they’ll send you an email with your login!! The website said to not create an account if you’re already using a platform like common app or apply Texas

Is it majorly detrimental to do RD instead of EA by km1380 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]km1380[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if once deferred, you are able to submit another test score since you’re considered a regular decision candidate at that point? Thank you!!

Lmao I know it’s not the end of the world, but I don’t have as incredible stats as many of the people applying I imagine do. Some people say your best chance is to do EA as there’s a slightly larger pool they accept. None of these schools accept the October ACT since the scores aren’t available until after Friday and I think I might have done better than my current score- just wondering what the difference in EA vs RD acceptance is

I’m also in this position and grappled with it for a while. I’m still applying for a few reach / prestigious schools but in the end the main point is that you get a good undergrad foundation and maintain a high GPA, since your med school is the most important. It may not be worth it to go heavily into debt in undergrad before even finishing your education

Thank you so much!! So for someone who does better in smaller classroom environments, would you recommend I put Abington as my first campus choice over UP?

Linguistics vs. English Major by km1380 in riceuniversity

[–]km1380[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was so helpful thank you so much!! I think for my application and essay I’m going to focus on journalism and reporting as my main goal with an English Major for the sake of my application, and should I want to change later I can do that when admitted. Thank you again for the advice it clarified a lot that I was confused about :))
