I know this is a shot in the dark, but has anyone gone to this school or know anyone who has? A 1510 SAT score and 2.0 GPA leaves me with some unexpected choices. ---

Wait…a 1510…hasn’t the scoring system changed. That used to be a fantastic score…but I don’t know if that’s still the case. ---

I didn’t realize you were that smart Mr. 1510. Make sure you take Economics and Statistics. If you can muster the concentration, those classes will cure you of your socialism. ---

Thats similar to one of my favorite Winston Churchill quotes: “Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.” ---

2400 is a perfect SAT score now. They changed the format. I know a few people who have attended YSU, it’s kinda hit and miss. Some like it, some don’t. It is located in the worst part of Youngstown though. Not bad during the day, but be careful at night. ---
