Just saw this post.

Took my SAT's in 1985:
680 Verbal
450 Math

I was a C student through high school, and most of my teachers, as well as my guidance counselor, were convinced that I wasn't going to go to college. I also scored several 90+ scores in NYS Regents exams for English, Social Studies, and Spanish. My teachers shit themselves when that happened!

I applied for several schools: Syracuse (dad went there), SUNY at Binghamton, SUNY at Buffalo, Edinboro University, and Allegheny College. I couldn't afford SU, Binghamton turned me own after a second interview, and Edinboro turned me down outright.

My mom and dad took me to Allegheny for a scholarship exam, and I apparently scored high enough to get a full scholarship. Funny thing was that I don't remember being told about that...seriously, my parents make fun of me for not taking the scholarship and I always ask them if they were sure they told me about it. Maybe I was drunk.

Anyhow, I decided not to go to Allegheny because it was sooo tiny. SUNY at Buffalo let me in, and I tested out of all freshman english and math courses. Got my BA in Communication, and another in Anthropology.

Hmmmm, maybe I SHOULD have taken that full ride at Allegheny...
