Best wishes! I was one of the students who took all the tests - started Trinity with over 30 hours of credit, and graduated with over 160. (”What does this have to do with your major?!?” my parents would say.)

Bill has the SAT in a week and a half, and then he needs to apply immediately to UNC-Wilmington and Appalachian State, or he’ll end up with no options but a coin flip between Central and Southern Piedmont CC (each four miles from our house, in different directions) for next fall. Not that it would hurt, imo.

Dear Tax-Chick,

Thanks.

Is this Bill's first shot with the SAT, or is he just trying to improve his score, in part or total? Do the schools to which he's applying do the SuperScore thingy (take the best subscores from all the times the student has taken the SAT and add them together)?

Trinity - in DC? I went to Catholic, practically next store. I guess I took the opposite approach from you. I graduated with 123 credits, the bare minimum for my program (psychology). I entered with six from my AP US History exam, and took typically 18 - 22 credits per semester, and then some each summer to graduate in three years.

In the second semester of my senior year, I made what I thought would be routine, redundant trip to the registrar's office to check to make sure I'd have enough credits. To my surprise, they'd failed to credit my six credits for the AP test. If I hadn't checked up on the status of my official transcript, they wouldn't have let me graduate!
