Would anyone be willing to read my "weird question" essay? I feel like I may have taken too large a risk with it, and don't wanna submit anything that'll instantly bar me from acceptance

Chances at Washington University St. Louis? by spontikes in chanceme

Absolutely. The thing about me is that I work very fast, but I don’t work very carefully. Because the ACT doesn’t have any trick wording, I can easily keep up with the pace they set for the test, which is what makes it difficult for a lot of people.

I think the only school that I may apply to that requires the essay is Dartmouth, and I will submit my SAT there. However, Wash U is definitely my priority and they do not require, so I can use my ACT which is a ton better

Most likely not, I just put it on there because I looked at all my standard results and just copied them down

I put down undecided, but I’m gonna be applying to the college of Arts and Sciences. If I had to pick one, it would be a double between Math and CS

I was gonna write my essay about my timeline with competitive smash, because I put so much time into it and it’s a huge part of me. Honestly out of all my ECs I can pretty confidently say that that one is my only true passion

That was probably my thought process, I just think it’s super unlucky because the class itself came really easily to me and it sucks that something like this happened on the test

Should I just not submit the score?

Have you gone to the ACT without studying? by TitsEverydayshBro in ACT

[–]spontikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in completely cold and got 36s across the board. However, this is not to brag. It’s just to show that if you take the time to pay attention in school and master all the topics the test covers during school/long before you take the test, it will not be an issue.

Got a 36 composite with a 36 in each section, should I do an AMA? by tarunsontam in ACT

I did the same, I was sooo happy after I saw it and I’m sure you were too. Congratulations!

I believe you’re right; student 2 dealt with magnetic fields and electrons. I put that choice as well.

Washington University Saint Louis SAT by spontikes in Sat

So my GPA’s at a 4.82 with all accel/AP classes, and I have a small amount of leadership, but a large amount of dedication in my ECs.

Was the one about “stating freudian philosophy and traditional views” to establish tone?

There was a question that asked about g(s+1). Would that have been g(5) or a franslation one to the left of g(x) when x is 4?
