1390 on the SAT
-
[censored], y’all are geniuses. I made high enough on the ACT to play ball at my local D3 and skate by there with a 2.8GPA

Congrats!!! Great achievement
1390 is an awesome score and will open a lot of eyes when it comes to college admissions. Strive for that 1400!!
Colleges will throw you significant tuition $$$ with a score over 1400 easing your financial burden for those 4 years (or more)... -

I take my SAT on the 7th...how’d you get to take it on a Wednesday? I’d love to have my weekend freed up lol. I’m missing a dang tourney for this test lol.
Our school administers practice tests and I got a 1430 there, so I’m shooting for anything around there. I’m not gonna stress too much about it because in the end I don’t wanna go to a super prestigious school anyways
I got my bachelors from a "non-prestigious" school and I am getting my MBA at a very prestigious school. It is crazy to see the differences in job opportunities the undergrads at my new school see compared to what I saw as an undergrad. For example, investment banking and top consulting firms didn't even look at my undergrad program. After graduating from a highly ranked undergrad program, on average, you will see better pay, more responsibilities, an expanded network, and more open doors down the road. I know money is often an issue, but my humble advice (take it with a grain of salt) is to go to the best school you can get into that has the type of curriculum you are looking for. Addressing money: if you go to a prestigious school and you intend to major in something that is very employable (there are a few majors that are less employable than others, which you can research for yourself), the money will work itself out (i.e. you will be able to repay loans).

Good to know. Thank you my man!

I’m a junior too and have a 4.73 GPA but I’m a horrible procrastinator. Haven’t taken either of those tests yet
To be fair you spend too much time on trying to be top 100 in the world or whatever. Gotta learn to balance video games and life
lol u don’t need to tell me to learn anything. I do a pretty good job balancing everything. Just tend to procrastinate on school work. Also have irl baseball taking up a big chunk of time so honestly I do pretty much all of my schoolwork at school the day it’s due. There’s my balance
Well see where you are ten years down the line vs me, that doesn’t work in the real world
I mean since you never experienced the real world you can't really comment on it. Nowadays its all about who you know not what you know when it comes to getting good jobs. Graduated with a 3.9 in both my undergrad and grad. I have a great job but that's not to say a guy who went a different route as me isn't has successful or more successful than me. Honestly, SAT is a joke nowadays and doesn't actually test "real world" intelligence.

Success is in the eye of the beholder. How I measure success is through the virtues of happiness and comfort. There's no right or wrong way to do life, as long as whatever you're doing is making you happy and you can live comfortably.

It’s today! Pray for me boys

Only because I know the struggle, not because I like you.

You're right, in the real world everybody procrastinates. What people say and what people do are 2 completely different things. Went back to school at 38 and the amount of lies kids are told to scare them is insane.
