I am a Junior in Highschool, and I have done excellent on the ACT (33), the PSAT (211, that's 98 percentile) the ASVAB (99th percentile), as well as a 4.0 GPA and many AP classes. I also participate in many extracirricular activites and all that. Lots of colleges do send me letters and such, but is there anyway for me to report my scores and have more colleges see me? How can I get my name out there? THANKS!

I frankly just want a TON of collegs to e-mail me more crap. I want to open every possible option. Are there any sites that colleges pay attention to, where you can input all your info?

First, congratulations on the great test scores. Take the SAT, score well again, and you'll get lots more mail.

(Colleges do not care about your ASVAB and PSAT scores.)

But don't be fooled. You're receiving packets of material from colleges because of your ACT score. The colleges are not "seeing you," and it's not your job to "get your name out there." Schools have arrangements with the testing companies to get the addresses of students who achieve certain scores on the ACT and SAT exams. Then their marketing department sends out advertising information. Receiving email and regular mail from these colleges means absolutely nothing.

When (and after) you take your ACT and SAT tests, there's a place on the form for you to indicate to which colleges you'd like your scores to be sent. These colleges are the ones to which you've decided to apply. You do not send your scores to dozens and dozens of colleges.

The best way to choose a college is NOT by looking at their advertising information, but by doing your own research. The Princeton Review guide to colleges is a good start.

Best wishes to you. I am sure you'll end up at a great school. :)

Wow you made a 33 on your ACT? You’re like a genius. Ask your guidance counselor if you could send an unofficial transcript to the colleges that you desire. Be sure to keep a copy for yourself for future reference. If guidance doesn’t have your ACT scores than you can always go online to www.actstudent.org , look under SCORE and you will see a lot of options on how you can get your scores. Hope everything works out well…Good Luck.

Ohhhhhhh yea. you imagine accurate. colleges do not forget that they could't only evaluate extreme college training and GPA as a lot, because the project of the training and how they're graded very a lot, that they are not getting used as typically. one element they could evaluate each and anybody with is the ACT/SAT. Take the ACT as a lot as you could because you in elementary words record your properly score. colleges use that as their style a million precedence.

Usually, you have the option of including the schools to whom you want the scores reported on the exam itself. If this is an afterthought, you have to go to ETS and ask them to send the scores to those schools.

If you know where you want to or what you want to do, then contact the school that you want to go to and they will ask you.
