[quote=Anonymous]I got a 1340/1600 on the SAT & top 5% of my high school class (attended a very poor high school; much worse than, say, Alexandria City High School). I was also a first-generation college student. That didn’t matter much at that time. I lived in a state where the public universities were all very expensive, but the flagship was the most expensive. I ended up attending a university that had & has a 90% acceptance rate & a 54% graduation rate. I excelled there and landed at a top employer in my field. It sucked at the time, but I made the most of it and I’m glad I did. Sulking and blaming others wouldn’t have gotten me anywhere.[/quote]
