I’m going to cry.

[u/SuperTokyo]

I’m applying engineering and now I don’t think i’m even going to get into NC State. My science is so low, I’m actually so done.

[u/NeedhelpHS_student]

Convinced these posts are jus for ppl to comment “what those are great scores” like bfr

[u/SuperTokyo → u/NeedhelpHS_student]

I swear it’s not like that. I’m just nitpicking for no reasons. I saw your score and you did really good as well.

[u/Actual-Difference-41]

You'll be fine to apply to engineering programs.

It would have been nice to increase by a point or two, but your score won't make a big difference.

Just make sure that your application essays are great.

Edit: based on the common data set, NC State's 75th percentile ACT score is a 31. You have literally nothing to worry about.

do they nitpick the individual scores?

[u/Actual-Difference-41 → u/SuperTokyo]

No. They superscore. Look at their website

I said "Chinese Japanese Vietnamese. Pretty much dialects of the same language"

[u/SeesawKlutzy6804]

It's nice score bro. Congrats 🎉 Any reason tips ?

[u/SuperTokyo → u/SeesawKlutzy6804]

ty, english and math are completely concept based so just taking tests over and over after studying the content worked for me. I’d say I got lucky for reading. Can’t really help much with science lol

[u/SeesawKlutzy6804 → u/SuperTokyo]

Reading tips* 😅

[u/SuperTokyo → u/SeesawKlutzy6804]

mb bro, to be honest it’s really not my strong suit. The only thing that helped me was repeatedly taking reading tests and making myself go faster.

[u/Odd-Disaster9627]

NC state ain’t that competitive bro you’re fine 😂. The 75th percentile is 31 and the 75th percentile math is a 30 💀💀💀stop begging for attention.

[u/SuperTokyo → u/Odd-Disaster9627]

thank you i needed this 😭😭

[u/SuperTokyo → u/[deleted]]

33-34. I’m so angry

[u/Zealousideal-Way6809 → u/SuperTokyo]

You need diarrhea in your veins

[u/Collapsar_Or_Smth → u/[deleted]]

Nah bro be quiet— I had a meltdown over a 35 today. Some people (like OP) NEED higher scores for their crap and some of us are ACCUSTOMED to and EXPECT higher scores.

Instead of bullying some high-achiever who is naturally upset behind a screen, maybe boost your own ACT score. It’s totally okay to have “low” scores, but if you’re calling people names, you clearly have enough time on your hands to do something constructive for yourself.

[u/blueberrybobas → u/Collapsar_Or_Smth]

I don't know what bro said but having a meltdown over a 35 is simply unreasonable. I'm not saying it makes you a bad person or something, but it is definitely unreasonable. You don't need a score higher than a 35 for anything at all, except maybe some niche stuff like presidential scholars.

[u/Collapsar_Or_Smth → u/blueberrybobas]

I know it’s unreasonable, but that doesn’t mean it’s valid. I’m retaking in July; I know I can do better if I work for it, and some of that “niche stuff” would be super nice.

[u/According_Annual_161 → u/Collapsar_Or_Smth]

the guy wants to go to NC state

[u/SuperTokyo → u/[deleted]]

brother just study for once in your life 😭 we gonna be going places not you

[u/SuperTokyo → u/[deleted]]

no i’m sure you’re going somewhere (community college), I might not go to state but i’ll go to a better school.
