But now if you were like "Hey what did you get on your SATs?"

No one would remember. I don't even remember what I made on my SAT. 12 something, but that's all I remember.

3/20/2011 11:09:29 PM

1390 first time, 1460 second time. 1290 on the gre

3/20/2011 11:10:34 PM

they are scored differently now anyways

3/20/2011 11:10:40 PM

Apparently, some people still do brag.

3/20/2011 11:12:18 PM

yeah my younger brother was all like I got a 1650 on my SAT...and I was like "how the hell did you get that score?" and then I was like "oh yeah, you gotta write now"


my other brother fell asleep during his SAT so we're not even sure what he got

3/20/2011 11:12:34 PM

It's not just that they're scored differently, the math section went from algebra 1 and I think trig material to covering up to Algebra 2. I think the lit section got easy, but the writing sucked ass.

3/20/2011 11:16:15 PM

1510, back when 1600 was the top score

3/20/2011 11:18:09 PM

AHA, sawahash, it sounds like you kicked your brothers' butts.

You need to get to bragging!

3/20/2011 11:22:40 PM

Most places I applied to used the ACT (Vandy, UT, Marquette, Georgetown and GT), not the SAT so I dont remember what I got, but I do remember not knowing you could take in a fucking calculator.

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 11:26 PM. Reason : 34 on the ACT]

3/20/2011 11:25:28 PM

Also 12 something. I dunno now.


Got a 1340 on the GRE though.

3/20/2011 11:30:00 PM

870 I think

3/20/2011 11:32:40 PM

It looks like people who made 1400+ remember their scores, and people who made "12 somethings" don't.

Hmmmmm...

3/20/2011 11:33:53 PM

took it 3 times

1100
1320
1290

3/20/2011 11:36:27 PM

Good enough to get into state

3/20/2011 11:40:22 PM

I remember I did pretty shitty on the SAT by my standards, but don't remember what it was.

Nor give a shit.

3/20/2011 11:42:19 PM

^^^^ Makes sense though, if your score isn't memorable you'll be less likely to remember it. I think I got a 1270 but I'm not that sure.

^^^ Shoot I was happy enough with my 12 something on my first SAT. If I got a 1320 I'd stop there.

[Edited on March 20, 2011 at 11:44 PM. Reason : ]

3/20/2011 11:42:43 PM

well my goal was to get a 1400 that last time

did not happen

3/20/2011 11:43:14 PM

I got a 1600 and subsequently went to NC State for pottery.

3/20/2011 11:44:24 PM

I know a guy who went somewhere to study pottery, actually

3/20/2011 11:45:18 PM

I actually got deferred from both UNC and NC State because my GPA wasn't very good. Eventually got into both but picked state because I wanted to go into CS.

If I knew I'd switch majors I'd have gone to UNC instead honestly, and I would have definitely been happier with the sports teams I cheer for

3/20/2011 11:47:06 PM

I made a 1400 on the SAT, was wait listed and not accepted into UNC-CH, and I was technically a legacy or whatever.

I'm openly bitter.

3/21/2011 12:07:31 AM

Back when we thought that a high SAT score was all that mattered. But look no matter what you got, we all ended up here...on the same message board talking the same shit to each other.

3/21/2011 12:13:02 AM

^^ How did that happen?

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 12:13 AM. Reason : I, too, would be bitter]

3/21/2011 12:13:09 AM

i had some bitch tell me she was gonna go to the tech, then transfer to a 4 year, then go to lawschool. i asked how her SATs went, she was like I got a 720. "on which part". "combined."

>.<

then she asked what i got. i was like "740... on the math"

3/21/2011 12:21:14 AM

I got a 1520...good enough to get in here. One of the girls that I took it with made lower than her boyfriend, and he forgot to bring a calculator. Ex-girlfriend's was so low, she was rejected from ECU. Shame.

3/21/2011 12:25:59 AM

No, I don't remember because I try not to brag about anything, it either makes you look like an idiot or makes other people feel bad.

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 12:26 AM. Reason : now don't you feel bad about bragging?]

3/21/2011 12:26:18 AM

^^^^And this was back when their SAT average was like 1250, too.

I took AP classes. I made all As and Bs except for a C in ELP or something. I didn't do much in the way of activities. I didn't take the AP exams. I was blackballed from NHS by a teacher who accused me of cheating (but could never prove it cause I didn't cheat). And I went to a competitive high school--I didn't crack the top ten percent for class rank.

A family member of mine (who was also a legacy kid) made a 1380 on the SAT, was in NHS, was in the top ten percent of her extremely competitive, nationally-recognized high school, did take/make 5s on her AP exams, and she did do a bunch of extracurricular activities. She came along four years before me and didn't get into Chapel Hill either...so we weren't surprised when I didn't.

I guess my mom musta rubbed some people the wrong way when she ditched the sexist pigs at a liberal Chapel Hill to get her PhD from a real school like State.

GO PACK!!!

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 12:53 AM. Reason : They really were sexist, and State was better.]

I assume you mean the new SAT

This is why I don't like talking about the SAT with kids.

3/21/2011 12:30:17 AM

that's wild. I made a 1320 and her AP scores were overall better than mine, and I got into UNC... I know a few people who'd say I was surprised about getting accepted.

3/21/2011 12:31:44 AM

^^^^way to brag about not bragging, douche

I assume so as well.

And thats harsh...

3/21/2011 12:34:20 AM

i wish i didn't remember my SAT scores, but unfortunately i remember quite clearly that i got an embarrassing 670/630, and then an even more embarrassing 650/650.

i've found that people are much more cryptic about GRE scores. not in this thread though.

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 12:43 AM. Reason : also, anyone who just gives a sum for a GRE score should be punched in the face.]

3/21/2011 12:43:14 AM

^^^^It has a lot to do with geography. They can only accept so many kids from Wake County, and within a county, only so many kids from each school. Her situation was still insane though...they actually thought there might have been a mistake and called people up and stuff to try to get her paperwork corrected...and they were like, "Nope, no mistake."

^GRE confession: 1280 (640/640). My goal score was 1300, and I was upset that I missed it by 20 points. I told a bunch of people, hoping they would tell me that a 1280 was good, and they did not. AHA

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 12:49 AM. Reason : Don't punch me!]

3/21/2011 12:47:03 AM

GRE confession: i got a comical 470 verbal. i know natives of india who did better than that.

Never heard anyone with that sentiment about GRE scores, but they were 750 analytical and 590 verbal.

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 12:50 AM. Reason : Verbal is way harder, and I consider myself to have a good vocabulary]

3/21/2011 12:49:27 AM

did you mean to leave off your quantitative or did you mean 750 quantitative and decide not to boast your analytical score?

3/21/2011 12:51:03 AM

I don't understand your question.

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 12:54 AM. Reason : Oh shit you're right. I meant quantitiative. I didn't even write the essay lol.]

3/21/2011 12:53:21 AM

the GRE has three sections: quantitative, verbal and analytical. you only posted two.

3/21/2011 12:54:57 AM

Check the edit.

I got a 590 verbal, 750 quantitative, and a zero analytical (didn't need it).

3/21/2011 12:56:25 AM

I got into NCSU with an 1140

3/21/2011 1:05:29 AM

I actually think all the scores, including your 1140, in this thread are good--even my 1280 GRE that I pretended was bad is good to me.

Except for willembahh. That guy was a jerk about his score and talking smack about how his ex-girl didn't get into ECU. Boooooo on him.

3/21/2011 1:11:16 AM

i remember numbers very well

first time i took it i was smart on math (710) and retarded on english (510)
after taking it a 3rd time i finally got a 570 on english and was like 'fuck it'

apparently the test writers opinion on the "best" answer and my opinion differ

3/21/2011 1:12:59 AM

I got a 6 on the analytical writing for the GRE. then I went home and cooked a home run inn mini pizza in the microwave at my parent's house.

umad?

These scores are pointless anyway, especially the SAT since we all ended up at NC State no matter what we scored.
