"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

What kind of colleges do you think i could get into with a 93 gpa and 1370 sat?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Bleh,
with the amount of grade inflation these days 3.9 gpa means **** diddly dum. Is that unweighted or weighted? If you're a well rounded student who took challenging classes, you're off to a great start in the rat race. Your sat's are good enough to be in the median figures for the better schools. However, don't expect to get in to harvard based on that... they get 3x the amount of students applying with the same or better stats than they have in their applicant pool.
You should post what classes you took if you want to paint a more accurate picture of how strong a student you are, i.e. number of aps, honors, or ibs you took.
Check out www.collegeboard.com for their college search. You might also want to go to your library and get the Fisk's college guide.
Try to visit the colleges you want to attend during your next vacation... i.e. check out the nightlife, food, diversity, student to professor ratio, majors offered, etc etc...
You should be elgible to receive merit based scholarships, so when you fill out your applications, don't forget to fill out your fafsa form.

With a good set of gpa and sat like you have... you should be able to get into all schools except for the exclusive ivy leaguers and stanford... since theres just so many damn over achievers out there.

You might wanna check out Washington University in St. Louis, where I'm currently a freshman. U.S. News and World Report's ranked our undergrad program 9th in the country but we're also a great party school. The website is www.wustl.edu or you can PM me if you have any questions.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

It depends where you want to go and for what. Unless you are rich the big trade off will be cost vs. prestige. With grades and testing like that getting large (possibly 75% or more) scholarships at a good school or you could get into an almost Ivy League such as Brandeis but with very little if any money. Personally, I think student loans are the work of Satan so I took the big money.

Contact the athletic department of your college of choice, usually if you're actually okay and not a dreamer a scout will come out. All sports are different so just get in contact w/a coach.
Yup, you've got a good combo of grades + extra curicular you should be able to hit some nice scholarships.

Talk to a college counselor. They can give you information on good school depending on your credentials.

Based on what you've got, you're pretty much in at any state-level schools you'd apply to. I'd look around at liberal arts schools and maybe even a couple ivies if you're so inclined.

Once you get to the ivies though, gpa and sats will neither help, nor hinder you. Once you have good grades and test scores, admission is based on sheer luck. This year Yale said they selected only one fifth of the applicants who were "good enough" to get in because of class size limitations. They couldn't pick the best because there was no clear group that was the best. So they had to accept and decline based on almost random statistics like location and race, future majors, etc to make a diverse freshman class.

Beyond luck, you want to rack up good essays, reccomendation letters and extracurricular activities.


Just as an example, I go to a small private high school with all-honors courses. (Nobody has ever graduated with a 4.0, the work is too hard.) I had a 3.8 GPA and an SAT of 1490. (700 math, 790 verbal)

I was rejected by Harvard and Stanford, waitlisted by Amhesrt and Pomona (who was oddly enough statistically more selective than Harvard this year), accepted flat by University of Chicago, Oberlin and Reed, and accepted with a $10,000 annual merit scholarship to Occidental. Many of the desicions would have been different had my reccomendations, essay, and extracurriculars been different.

Once again, talk to your school's college or guidance counselor. They can help you build an application.

Oh and apply to schools like Harvard even if you don't think you'll get in. You may have only about a 5% chance if you apply, but you'll have exactly a 0% chance if you don't.
