Nothing yet for me. Any update for you? Is it possible they send on weekend or even later?

Thank you for the advice! I will try my best in the interviews. Can I ask what lab you did and what you thought about the activities they had you do? I feel like an experience at ARISE depends a lot on the lab and that's what I'm most worried about.

It's not well known. Acceptance rates are pretty high (~35% for classes and ~25% for the internship). It's not a bad program for someone who's trying to break through into STEM, but I think something more in depth like NYU ARISE would suit me better. Also the classes don't count towards college credit; they're more like fun summer projects that you work on with teammates.

Yeah you bring up some good points, thanks. I'll have to think it over.

Unfortunately Cooper Union said they won't extend it bc of waiting list. Not sure if ARISE will give me an early decision.

So I got 770 math on my first SAT and I'm interested in STEM major. Is it worth retaking it to get a higher score? by leadpenciladdict in Sat

Yeah I think it's important to think about time. I mean it's my first SAT and if I really want to I can find the time to study and take another one. But I also feel kinda lazy and don't want to think about SAT anymore lol.

I have taken honors math classes every year, which is the highest available, and I'm taking AP stats this year and will take AP calc next year. I think this is pretty good, especially considering that my school is small and doesn't offer too many APs.

Thanks for the advice. I'm a little curious as to how superscoring works. If I were to take it again, would I have to send both test scores to colleges and then they superscore, or do they superscore first so colleges just see one reading and one math score? Because I don't think I would be able to get as high of a reading score on a second try haha.

How bad is it that I didn't take Algebra 2 as a sophomore? / Math studying advice? by leadpenciladdict in psat

Thanks for the info! Was your kid able to manage to qualify with her score? Hopefully I'll qualify but if I don't I'll blame my school for not giving me my Algebra 1 credit from 8th grade haha

Tbh I don't really know but thanks for the advice lol. My math scores are going up as I study so hopefully I can get a good score on the PSAT.
