General
Commissions are open now! Info ~> http://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/terrabird7/
bleh I've been studying for the SAT in October >.< anybody got any tips?
also there are a couple of colleges I'm interested in (think I might major in Ancient History)
but if anybody knows about these colleges or knows anyone who has had any experience with any of them please tell me about them c: all info is helpful!
The colleges are:
-> Penn
-> Brown
-> Ohio State University
-> Columbia University (in the city of New York)
-> Washington and Lee University
-> Rice
-> Washington University in St.Louis
-> Georgetown
-> University of Rochester
-> University of Georgia
I know its a lot of colleges but I started from a group of about 30 (colleges that had contacted me already because I did good on the PLAN ~ACT basically~ and I've narrowed down based on who has the degree I'm interested in) but I don't know how else to narrow it down >.< I'll be doing a couple of campus tours the summer, but I honestly don't know what sort of criteria I should have for a college D:
help please!

My advice would be study for it like any test. Yes, it's a big one and covers everything, but it's still a test. It won't define you as a person. So breathe, study hard, and try to be relaxed. :)
yah I did quite well on the PLAN, I guess that happens when you score perfect in math. I normally don't have to study for anything but I've forgotten quite a lot (I wasn't challenged math wise in Australia, no new material and I couldn't get anyone to work with me) and I completely bombed the 2 practice SATs I've taken >.< I'm taking a practice every 2 weeks and I've got a prep book big enough to kill an entire family XP
my biggest fear is that I fail to do as well as my previous scores and colleges will be less interested and it just won't look good at all >.<
I also get freakishly obsessive and determined when I fail >.< especially with math
If you explain your situation that you weren't challenged enough in AU, do you think they'd help?
If anyone can do it, you can! I'm confident in you and your magnificent brain! ^^
and yah, you can retake but I'm running a bit behind schedule >.< but I've got months to study for the next availible SAT c: /hopefully/ I'll get back on track with things ^~^
You will, I'm confident!.
Yeah, sorry I can't give you advice here
I'm really nervous >.< we are supposed to do most of the college prep stuff in year 11 but I spent all of year 11 in Australia which has really hurt me D':
can anyone truly master something though? I know there is nothing I've mastered and probably won't be able to master (cause there is always more and always better)
