How to write a good College App?

I had a 30 on the ACT, and never had to write an essay.

>got a 34 on ACT.
You must be really smart OP. I always wonder how some people manage to get such high scores. I took the ACT 3 times and only got a 28. That left my self-esteem in the shitter to this day.

Sorry I don't have an actual response to your thread but I am genuinely curious: how did you manage to get that score? Is the test just easy for you? Did you study a lot in any specific ways? In short how did you do it?

Thanks in advance if you ever get to see this reply.

Don't write about your own vanity, write about the value of education, of constantly pitting what you thought you know about a subject against what other people can teach you, about constantly being critical of yourself and your surroundings and how only a college education can help you achieve all that.

And here you have another Anon with a high score, what the hell. You have to be thankful - you will never get to know how truly painful the brainlet life is.

Ignorance is bliss, anon. There is no happiness to be found in being intelligent.

28 isn't a bad score, or at least it wasn't when I took it back in 2004 or 2005. My high school was bragging about the average being 22.

Sometimes I do wonder how it feels like though. Is it simply an easier time solving problems when there's only a couple things one can do and strict rules that must be applied to the process? That is a very mathematical intelligence I'd say, so there must be others. For example, maybe it's about the speed of processing complex information, who knows. Then there is also the approach of analyzing stupidity instead. That's also pretty hard because it's complicated conceptualizing an entire mindset (so to speak) when it's entirely different from the way you operate.

Either way, sorry about the blog, I am mostly talking to myself here. All I have going for me is doing the same thing every day, paying lots of attention and hoping I get somewhere since even simple things take me far too long to complete. But if a more intelligent person does the same things there is no winning.

Thanks for the encouragement Anon.

It's not encouragement. It's the truth.
