Fall 1996
GPA 2.7 (this included APs that I did well in, but some of my other grades were dismal) SAT 1430 Accepted: ECU WVU (attended) Wake Forest GMU Rejected: VA Tech I think the only reason I got into the schools I did was because I was involved in a specialized creative pursuit and had a related letter of recommendation. I am so scared of my kids performing as poorly in HS school as I did. |

| I remember my SAT score because my goal was to break 1000 and I got a 1010. I was so happy. I told my mom that she could cancel the SAT test for the next month since I reached my goal. She said no since she already paid for it and she wouldn't get a refund. That scores was just under 1000. I can remember that from 1992 but nothing important about what's going on now. |

Where did you end up going? My SATs weren't a lot higher at 1150 or so, even though my GPA was around 3.6. This was in 1980, so I've read that means the SAT scores would be a bit higher with the current scoring. I went to Miami University in Ohio. I don't think my GRE scores were stellar either, but I managed a full ride for graduate school. |
