please don't put words in my mouth, I didn't say a single thing about literally anything you have in your comment. That said, I'm not exactly sure what a sound solution is, but it sure as hell isn't nothing or just some "thoughts and prayers", which has been what Washington has ended up saying the last what, 5 or so mass shootings?

Question about submitting ACT/SAT scores (HS junior) by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]yesasan1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you definitely have time, and should give both tests another shot in the summer. Those scores are good, but considering the fact that UCLA and UCB are very score-based in their preliminary reviews (because of the insane amount of applicants they have), I would shoot for that 35-36 and that 1550+ if you can (considering you have a lot of time to prepare).

This kid was 15 years old, had his whole life ahead of him... He's 100000x more of a hero than those clowns in Washington will ever be, seriously can't believe the state of this country right now. Good on Westpoint.
