Questions for my Amerifriends...

[kellifer]

I swear these aren't for my SPN/HP story that I'm not writing because I have dozens of other things I should be writing.

*looks shifty*

So:

What age do you (approximately):-
- sit your SATs
- Apply for college
- Get accepted for college
- Are a senior in high school

I'm not really sure because in Australia people can be a year older/younger depending on when they started school and I also started thinking that maybe you guys get all your college stuff before you finish your senior year unlike us who apply after we get our results and then apply to Uni. I was always a little confused because it seemed like people had their college acceptances and were still going to classes?

ETA: Wow - you are all very awesome. I'm going to mem this as a reference for US school stuff because there is a *LOT* of info here.

Uh-seems I'm a little late getting here:/
But yea, personally:
I took the SAT's Junior and Senior year (16-18 age range). We also have the PSAT's that prep you the year before. The schools tend to pay for the first SAT, but if you're not satisfied, you have two more tries to improve your score, and it's at your own expense:/

I applied for college Fall semester of my senior year, and got my reply in Spring of my senior year.

Yea-generally, you know if you get accepted to a college a few months before you graduate:)
