First off, her getting married shows lack of intelligence.

Marrying you, however; makes her look like Alberta Einstein

My daughter had a class period that was mainly focused on the ACT/college preparations and other stuff of such. I had nothing of the sort back in the stone age.....did many of you have that at your high school?

Really, more a matter of poor taste than intelligence.

Neither did we. Closest I ever took, and that we ever had, was an AP Calculus Course. I took the course, but not the AP exam.

Isn't that 2 points short of what you need to get into Ohio State without blowing the Dean?
That's the only way a non-36 gets in there, has to be.

Took it three times.

26 in 7th grade.
27 freshman year
28 sophomore year

After that I didn't take it again because I didn't want to.

Never mentioned your intelligence, just pointed out your excuse or as you put it "the point of why i didn't do well" aka an excuse.

Took it in 7th grade because I was in our gifted program and they had us take it. My sister who was a junior at the time was pissed because I got the same score as her.

If I was going to lie about my ACT scores I would have put a higher number than a 28. I'm going to go kayaking now but maybe I'll go through my school shit and find the papers.

lol no need...I was just jackin you.

Thats an impressive score for that age. I also took it in 7th grade because of my grades and high class rank. I basically guessed out to a 17. At that time I think that was all you needed to get into OSU....which is crazy when you think about it now.

I got a 23. I got a $1,000 scholarship for it...didn't take it after or it would've been a $975 scholarship. I knew where I was going, so I didn't really care about it.

I never took the SAT. I did work a camp with a girl who played soccer at Yale (took a year off, played for Greece in the Olympics, then completed her eligibility at Yale) who got a 1550 on it. That means she missed 2 questions! She was cool.

A high school senior that I used to coach just got his score back, he got a 34 on it (he got a 31 the first time). Another player I coached got a 34 on his, he's at University of St. Andrews entering into his junior year there.

I am always amazed at those who score so well on standardized tests. I wish I could do it. Like one of my best friends who only missed 2 questions on the math section of the GRE (I cannot remember his score). He is a math genius and only got like an average/below average score on the other section.

I talked to a former professor/instructor at one of the schools I graduated from (this was my Master's), and she said that she saw a basketball player who attended the school that scored a 7 on the ACT. I believe this was around the late 80s and early 90s.

It doesn't surprise me either. Basketball is huge at the school and they basically will take ANY student.
