I was a HUGE Tiffany fan. I wanted so badly to be the next Tiffany. I used to crank up my stereo and sing along into my hairbrush and pretend I was on stage....And dating Jordan from NKOTB.I'm going to show my age a little bit here.. but today I bought tickets to see New Kids on the Block (with Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Salt n Pepa, and Naughty by Nature) I might be a little bit psyched and silly.
The first concert I ever saw was NKOTB with Tiffany opening. With my best friend. She's going this time too!
Sending prayers and pixie dust xoxoNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
also wish me luck, minor eye surgery tomorrow :>

This has probably been answered, but it depends on the school you want to go to. The University of Wyoming, for example, wants ACT, or maybe they will accept either, but the standard in Wyoming is ACT. But some of your Ivy League schools only accept SAT.Thanks. Please share more about why you would do that. Is ACT equally valued/accepted/respected by colleges and universities?
That's a good point. There is a college that is the leading possibility w/ my daughter. I could simply ask them if they value one over the other or if to them it doesn't matter.This has probably been answered, but it depends on the school you want to go to.

Well, it DOES appear things have changed since I was in High School. (Shocking!! Its only been 20 years...you'd think it would be EXACTLY the same!That's a good point.

Wow....I'm actually surprised they are allowed to do that. I would think it would violate privacy laws....maybe they have to sign a waiver or something. Is it meant to get kids to choose their high school? Doesn't it go by zone? Or are these private schools doing this? We only had one high school in my town, so they didn't need to advertise....everyone who lived there went to that school, unless they were homeschooled.What’s strange to me is this advertising of the AC T scores. I have never seen that before. Obviously with high school when you go to an interview or on shadow day, they’ll tell you their average scores on SAT and AC T’s, but I have passed two signs recently which said the following “Average ACT score of (HS name) students- 32.” That’s it. That’s all the sign says. I’ve never even seen that school advertise before.. then I heard parents talking about promotional material to high schools for their 6th and 7th graders, the 3 schools all highlighted their ACT scores as well.
It’s just odd because I always thought the two were of equal importance.. with the SAT maybe holding a little more weight when it came to colleges, but it sounds like that’s a lot different now.

I know that w/ SAT, if you take it twice, you can pluck out your best math score from one and your best language score from another.....thus combining them for the best possible total score.Well, it DOES appear things have changed since I was in High School. (Shocking!! Its only been 20 years...you'd think it would be EXACTLY the same!) It looks like ACT is accepted everywhere now, but I know that wasn't the case when I was in school. I took the ACT because it's the one my school offered, and I'd have had to go 40 miles to take the SAT. Since I was going to a school that wanted ACT, it worked out well. But I DO remember doing PSAT in my sophomore year, to get us used to that level of testing. And I took the ACT both Junior and Senior year, because at that time at least (don't know if it's changed), they accepted whichever one was higher. So if you did better Junior year than senior year, you could turn in the Junior year results. I ended up with the same score both years, but different scores for the different sections. I wish I could have turned in my Junior year Math and English, and Science, and my Senior year Reading.

I wasn't super into Debbie Gibson. I liked Electric Youth, but that's the only one I knew. I loved Whitney Houston....the one with The Greatest Love of All...that was the first cassette tape I bought. Then Bryan Adams - Reckless. Then Tiffany, and my first year of Junior High, my friend introduced me to NKOTB. I was a bit late with that. My mom was not at ALL into pop music....the music we listened to at home was stuff like, Oliver, Oklahoma, The King and I... I remember going to a friend's birthday party...it was a roller skating party, so we had to drive into the next town over (40 miles) and in the suburban, her mom had Michael Jackson on, and I had never heard it before, and I was the only one who didn't know the words.I loved Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. I had a hour bus ride home and I usually spent it listening to their cassette tapes on my Walkman! I was also a fan of NKOTB and one year my sister gave me one of their videos on VHS for Christmas, and I thought I was in heaven watching them.
