I sorry but this diary isnt about gears or any other video game, but instead about me tryign to go to college. Over the past month ive been in the process of appyign for Georgia Tech to major in Computer Engineering and Programming (you know hoping to become teh next Bill Gates/Cliffy B.) Well anyway A few painstacking weeks, an crazy essay and trying to remember every detail of my high school career, ive finally completed my application adn have sent the beast in. Now all thats left is to wait and pray that they take me. I also hope i get a couple of scholarships from them., school aint cheap anymore. I hope 700 in math on the SAT is good enough for them too. Four years of hardwork and homework, becoming either 2nd or 3rd in the class, keeping a 4.0 gpa and 1370 on the reading and math parts of the SAT all come down to freaking letter that determines whethere or not my dream becomes a reality or a bloody nightmare.

Sry for the rant, but im scared and doubting, and hoping and praying about this thing.

Good luck bud! (none / 0)

I am sure you will do fine. And on a side note to help you feel a bit better, I never went to college and am a senior engineer at Microsoft. So no matter the outcome, you really just need yourself and the will to keep moving forward.

I have no doubts you will make it.

    there is a presidential scholarship program and all you have to do is put your application in by some deadline, but i made that, so maybe its like early decision. IDK

    Seriously, this year is a blast, I didn't take out a pen today. And Blank, I'm definitely applying by mid November to USC, hopefully my 1400 will be solid enough.

    - Partying on the weekends (none / 0)
      
      in my opinion - does not overshadow the amount of time and effort I have to put into all my classes. I just took the hardest test that I have ever taken, on the last fucking day of the quarter. I would say that being 17 is fun, but not being 17 and in school

        a pretty damn tough schedule too, but the weekends are what make senior year great. Plus, after the first quarter, I'm pretty much done for the year.

    my graduating class has less than 100 kids in it, and we only have three ap courses total. So, i cant get all the fancy AP and honors courses everyone at the big public schools get

Still have not taken my SAT's (none / 0)

There were tests today, but I didn't/couldn't go. Now I believe there are some in a few weeks though.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but you can take the SAT's as many times as you need to, right?

We had a good run... Great season though boys, and the seniors will be missed...

- Take (none / 0)
  
  them 2 or 3 times, depending on when you are happy with your scores. And there is no need to take them this early, take them in march or april of your junior year.

- also (none / 0)
  
  look into the colleges you want to apply to and see if they require SAT II's. You could also look into taking the ACT's if you are more science/mathematically inclined
