I went into my first ACT pretty cold and didn’t really know what I was doing. So I attended a class which was slightly helpful in the strategies they would talk about here and there, but I stopped after about a month. What I think made the difference was taking practice tests constantly. I’d...
Take as many practice tests under test conditions as possible! IMO the ACT/SAT don’t measure your intelligence as much as your ability to take a test. So if you get familiar with the flow/rhythm of the questions you can almost predict what they’re going to ask. My first ACT last year I scored a...

I heard via email at 1am on the 17th and it was updated in the portal when I checked. However .... strange side note the digital acceptance letter reads 4/10/19 as the date received although I’m positive it just showed up today. Must be a weird glitch in the system.

Most MOCs don't notify ahead of time - including mine. If I did have a MOC that called I wouldn't check the portal as much so I get what you're saying.

Thank you for answering these questions! I’m curious when you say you kept updating your application and that you never left it stagnant. I’ve completed my application and am a CPR but it’s still possible to email admissions and update them? Or once your application is complete are you done?
@Monarchs'19 does the Monarchs you’re referencing happen to be the Mater Dei Monarchs? I am from California (Northern) as well and know Mater Dei is a powerhouse down in SoCal. Also congratulations on the trifecta! As of now I’m going to WP too so maybe your DS and I will cross paths.
