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.

I think CTY found me through my standardized test scores. I took their test in 5th and 6th grade and the SAT in 7th and 8th. I'm sorry to say that I don't remember the specifics of how it all worked and that I don't know what F&M is.

Ah. After the talent search, you had the option to take summer courses. And for that I went to Franklin & Marshall College. And I knew someone there who went by Floyd, so I figured that there was a wee outside chance that this was worth mentioning.

But, hey - fun meeting someone else.
