I got 1800, I was just doing the test for the sake of it though.
just poor
I get a stipend from the CC and I can transfer with a decent scholarship from the CC to a more prestigious university that the CC has an agreement with.

Its not super expensive. The reading and mathematics sections were kind of jokes the only thing that dinged me on the first time was writing.

In retrospect, should have studied and aced the SAT and went top. Then again, I can just go to a top for grad.
The SAT costs like $50 to take. the books aren't that expensive and there is an assload of shit online to help you get a high score.

I got a 27 in math and science and a 33 in English and Reading, but I didn't take school seriously at the time and read a lot. My friend from hs got a 35 and majored in Japanese of all things at a state university after turning down a full ride to Harvard... What a waste.

Seriously Veeky Forums, am I fucked? If I get a fuckton of research done, volunteer and shit around the physics department, do good on my GRE's, and get good recommendations, will my last year, my retard-tier SAT scores, and the fact that I'll be getting my B.S. 5 years after HS instead of 4 fuck me over?

Haha, I'm a dropout, went to CC, withdrew and failed from a total of 8 classes, and am in my senior year for Electrical Engineering. 3.5 GPA

I was section leader in orchestra, jazz band, National Honors Society, track, and was cross country team captain. So that wasn't the problem. I think my essay was a little weak.
Erm, some uni programs have a minimum GPA just to make it into the Bachelor's program. Check your major.

They won't give AF about anything prior to your end results.
Brother went from 2.75 to 3.2 after 2 years of hard work and because he got a professor recommendation they simply requested he do good on his GRE's and he'll be set.
Pretty much above 2280 on the sat is 99th percentile. Anything above 2000 on the sat is generally considered a "smart person" score, at least in california (public school).
Gpa plays pretty heavy into our admissions too though, so there are plenty of 4.5+ applicants who get into top 20 schools with 2000 SATs and such. Same with 2300+ SATs who get in with under 4.5 GPAs.

Since this is a /uni/ thread if I'm not at a super well known nor distinguished college, and want to go to grad school in math at a somewhat reputable place, is it worth trying to transfer to a better school? Or do grad schools not care where you got the degree as long as grades are solid and you have good recommendations?
im at MIT and unless u come here too then lmao ur wasting ur time bro
Depends on what school you want to go to for grad school. If you go to somewhere like MIT for undergrad and want in on their grad program they'll be more soft on requirements and likely to take you in than if you're an outsider. Other schools that are good but not as memed on will just want hard work.
Try to transfer to a better school. If you can't, try to go all "anti-education" up in your dorm room and try to do individual research. Obviously the path not often taken (because its extremely hard), but if you can actually accomplish and publish something grad schools will eat you up.
Keep in mind they want researchers first and high GPA / prestige nerds 2nd
The biggest problem is recs from reputable professors. If there are professors who are well known at your school, you're fine. If not, you may still have options by doing REUS (which you should be doing if you want to go to grad school).
>implying MIT is the best for pure math
Nice meme.
B.S. in math, M.S. in physics at School of Mines
SAT: 2180
ACT: 31
Definitely could have done a better job, but I couldn't be fucked to try and go into higher level education, leave with a shitton of debt and have a marginally higher chance of landing a job than someone who went to a mid-high tier school
I'm already in the program, and I haven't been dropped. Minimum requirement to get in to the program was 3.0 I believe, which I had leaving CC, and minimum requirement to graduate is 2.0. Obviously I'm working to increase it, but I'm definitely in the program, lol.
Those are great and all but if they didnt mean anything to you beyond your admission then they can see it in the essay. I mixed my hundreds of hours of film and AV extracurrics with my Comp Eng academic pursuits to explain how I wanted to go into VR research. It seemed to have worked really well for me so thats why I reccomend mixing hobbies with academic things in essays.
I have a 2.8 GPA from 3 years ago
Would a 1400/1600 SAT score negate my shitty GPA?

Depends where you want to go. Lot's of state schools auto admit people in state who reach a minimum score.
Can someone please explain how to get your GPA lower than 3.0? I have always dreamed of being a brainlet.
Tbh ive never heard of michigan tech but a 32 is around a good ballpark for humanities at ucla/berkeley/ucsd and STEM at the other UCs(i.e. irvine and davis, who cares about merced)
I just want to get into a normal state school. Going to university at all would make me happy.
I was in a very try-hard college preparatory boarding school and ended up dropping out. the irony is funny to this day.
Have a social life and do lots of drugs.
>sadly didnt work for my cog sci bud at Cal.
>desu his genius probs just got avg'd out by all the drugs he does.
if it's just a state school, then maybe. If not, just go to CC for a year and transfer. Get A's at the CC, and with the 1400 you can get in somewhere.
Oops that was meant for this guy
If I started at Uni I probably would've failed. It's fucking garbage. My CC had their shit together and all the teachers gave more than they should've (as in effort and time on their side), so it was easy to get an A in almost everything.
Literally the female calc teacher
>the homework isn't being graded, it's for you, not me
All the math teachers did statistics stuff too, so you'd see a breakdown of grades and the teacher would talk about what they did or didn't like on tests. Even the physics teacher looked over his grades to see if he had a good distribution going and if anyone needed help.
I think the idea of uni is that they kinda kick you to the curb and let you survive on your own.
CC is another opportunity for ppl who didnt do too hot in HS to figure out how to learn independently and do good
Teachers cared a lot more in CC than uni, there's like no independence going on. My CC degree was also free. Let me repeat that: It cost me $0, and I even got back at least $500 for each semester to get my AS. All I got was the standard Tap and Pell grants.
Minnesota's first university.
Mathematics (after some trouble, I did finally graduate).
SAT: 1460/1600, old test. An exact even split between "math" and "english", being 730 on each section. Took the test exactly once and did not bother about re-taking, both because I was satisfied with my score and also because I did not want to hazard worse performance on a second take, which (as I understood it at the time) threatened to lower what I could report during the college hunt.
On the SAT, a late friend got a perfect 800 on the English section. However she never cared for math and sciency things, and so she only managed a 530 (IIRC) on that section.
ACT: 31/36. The breakdown was something like: math 31, english (first part-thing): 32, English (second part-thing) 28, read science graphs n' shit 28. Somehow the cumulative result shook out to 31 in spite of this latter guess of mine. Despite the fact that I could have retaken this test without hazarding the established 31 (unlike the SAT as I understood things), I didn't bother. Again, I took the actual test exactly once and left it alone afterwards because I was satisfied with my initial performance. I was actually engaged on the college hunt itself by this point and I didn't feel like juggling one more piece of effort for something that I might very well have simply done worse on, anyway, when I had already done fine on it.
I spent maybe a few days reviewing study material for each test before doing them and got the good night's sleep, etc. Apart from taking the process seriously when the time came (hence the few days' study), I didn't fuss too much over them.
The aforementioned trouble involved taking time off due to trashing my GPA. I did go back and graduate, however.

Oh look it's another I need to feel self important thread.
Yea I feel you man, that's why my GPA dropped in the first place. But I'm confident I can boost it back up if I'm not wasting my weekends getting drunk in Eastward all the time.
You can still pull it up on the college board website.
