[QUOTE="mrbojangles25"][QUOTE="helium_flash"] The entire post-high school education system is messed up. Tuition is crazy high. Here are my credentials:
- 3.45 GPA
- #2 on Tennis Team (#3 Junior Year)
- Varsity Math Club for Junior/Senior year
- 40 hours community service
- Army child
- Lived in three countries
- Honor Roll throughout HS
- Have taken multiple advanced classes
And I was denied to one choice and Wait Listed for the my top choices. I had to settle for some no-name college. I'm pissed. I bet if I wasn't a white, male, I'd have a full ride scholarship.

How were your SAT/ACT scores? Also, if you dont mind, what colleges did you apply to?
I think that plays a far greater role than high schools will lead you to believe. Throughout high school you're told being involved in clubs, the community, sports, and the school in general will look good. Which is true.
But some loner with a higher SAT than an overachiever who feeds the poor and delivers babies, will more likely get accepted into a better school.
Yeah, I feel like my SAT score was the only reason I did as well as I did college-wise. I'm a bit of a slacker, so my grades weren't as good as they could have been.
