This is dedicated to all the non-trads out there in Cycle 2011. Keep pushing. Overcome. Maintain. Perform a good stretching routine the morning of and then put the thing to rest!

PA 23 (96.4)
QR 21 (96.4)
RC 26 (98.5)
BIO 24 (98.9)
GC 20 (79.8)👎
OC 27 (98.7)

TS 23 (97.8)
AA 24 (99.6)
:boom:
On GC I got heavy does of calculations, not conceptual version!

I'm applying to UF, VCU, UNC, Louisville, UMich, Nova, Case, (Maybe U.Co)
sGPA=3.98 w/ +/- (4.00 w/o)
oGPA=3.80 w/ +/- (3.80 w/o)

My preparation didn't deviate too much from the common SDN algorithm. I'd say the most important thing is to do very well in your classes. The better you do in class, the less work it takes to "refresh" and work on "speed/recall" so lay a good foundation. I think the name of the game is to get your hands on as many practice standardized test-type questions as you can. All things MULTIPLE CHOICE!

it seems that everybody does a little better than they did on topscore, but not quite as good as on the ADA sample test, so going in I was anticipating scoring somewhere between the two. but of course i was just hoping to get 20s but still aiming high.
