Took my first SAT today

Jesus H. Christ! Tertiary education isn't that expensive over there is it? How on earth did you manage to clock up $140k in debt in one year?

My degree will have me $36k in debt at the end of the third and final year.

I don't think you read my post correctly. I said $35k in one year and $140 after graduating, and this was 10 year ago. Prices have gone up, Embry Riddle is NOT cheap.

Amen to that! Thank goodness my local community college has some aviation courses.

the sat is 2400 points now.  I got about 1600 on it without doing much studing.  I agree the math is really easy.  I got like 720 on it which is pretty good.  The retarded parts is the LA sections.  I mean that they ask students to answer these insanely difficult questions that a college student would struggle with.  That test is stupidly hard and long.  Anyways good luck with college, and i share your sentiments about the SAT.  Same goes for AP tests but those are more important worth while imo.

 

When I was in high school, the max score was 1600.  I got a 1420 missing only one math question. 

I didn't get any college offers.  Just the GI bill.

Another major compromise you are making is having any kind of back up plan. There are many ways you can blow your chance of ever being a professional pilot, and many of them are out of your control. I think high blood pressure and genetic heart problems are the most common, but even if you just accidentally lost eyesight in one eye you are done. In my opinion it would be better to have a more general degree for the simple fact of having something to fall back on.

I acually do have a back up plan, but I havn't discussed it here. If I have to, I will enlist, but with a twist. Since most of you know I am in the AJROTC. I have personal realtions with the LTC. here at my school (I taught him and his son how to fly model airplanes); he has promised me that he will give me the Chapplets letter to join the Air Force, so I can choose any two MOS's that I would like.
So know matter how I come out of this, I am going to get somthing good out of it.
