The Road to 28

Hey all,

Long time creeper (Creep is the best Radiohead song btw), first time poster here. Just finished my sophomore year at a top 5 US university (via US News Report, Forbes, and various others). I've been home for two weeks now, and I've been absolutely GRINDING. I've already been through Chad's videos twice, Cliffs AP Bio (3rd Edition) twice, and Math Destroyer once. I met with my adviser at the end of the year and he indicated that to have a serious shot at the schools I'm shooting for I'll need at least a 24 AA. That being said, I am shooting for a 28 AA...anything less would honestly be a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Having a strong science background (4.00 sGPA at a top 5 university), I am pretty confident that I'll be able to achieve a 30 TS... 29 worst case scenario. Therefore, my strategy at the moment is to maximize my QR and RC scores, as I feel that these sections are often forgotten about. For example, I just read about a kid who ended up with an awesome 26 AA. However, he had a 30 TS and I can't help but feel that that score was wasted after a poor QR and RC performance. In addition, there was another great 26 TS, that was dropped to a 23 AA after a costly 17 RC. If there is anyone out there who has scored 28+ on QR and RC PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME OR COMMENT. I'm really looking to put up some BIG numbers in those sections come August. I know some of you are probably doubting the legitimacy of this post, and to that I respond: I've been doubted my entire life (i.e. top 5 university). I've already put in a ton of work and I'm hungry to put in even more. As the saying goes, everyone wants to be a beast until it comes time to do what beasts do.

Thanks in advance everyone. I CANNOT WAIT to embark on this journey with you all.

Cheers,
Roadto28

You already have completed the videos and books twice in two weeks, and you're going to take the test till August? There's going to be a lot of time where you will just be bored before the exam because you already studied everything.

Best of luck, but why not 30?

Creep is most certainly not Radiohead's best song imo. The band essentially never plays anything from the Pablo Honey Era because of how straightforward the music and lyrics are. They've progressively grown more complex through the years. They even used counterpoint on the album OK Computer (on Paranoid Android and Let Down). Anyone who has taken music composition or theory courses knows how tricky counterpoint is. Paranoid Android is a masterpiece. I'd argue that either OK Computer or Kid A is the best record that Radiohead has written, as far as complexity/originality/overall enjoyability goes.

I can't tell if you're a troll with your comment or not. A 28 is a lofty goal, but it's almost unrealistic. Do your absolute best and you will end up wherever you end up (which could be a 28). You're obviously intelligent if you have a 4.0, but try to show some humility.

Well, thanks for the introduction.

I find it hard to believe this isn't a troll post, but, either way, good luck!
