<p>and sorry to break it to ya but if your korean it makes it harder to get in because of all those koreans who get %99 and they don't want too many. But I still think you have a great chance</p>
<p>Leesh-</p>
<p>I don't know for sure, but my guidance counselor added in an article about my city and how we use a different grading scale than other schools. I think they add the number scores too, though, on the transcript? I'm not sure though.</p>
<p>And DEtrombone- I know, especially the korean kids who live in Korea and take all those classes to prep for the SSAT. Seriously, I knew some girl that's Korean and went to Andover, and she went to Korea so she could raise her SSAT score. Unfortunately, my family doesn't have the money to send me to a different country to study for a test, but hopefully the admissions committee will take into account the fact that I've never lived in Korea. Thank goddddd I'm not applying as an internation applicant; its hard enough being compared to the Koreans living in the US. </p>
<p>Ack. I really do want to get in, but if I don't, oh well. Thanks though =]</p>
<p>Yeah xoogabyxoo that's true about Koreans. but one advantage people like you have over those extremely smart Koreans is that you are more well rounded. A lot of those Korean students focus mainly on academics and only play sports like tennis. I'm sure the admissions committee know that.</p>
<p>Hey xoogabyxoo y are u worrying??</p>
<p>Your scores r better than mine and u seem to be good in whatever u do. I know people who do tons of things but r ok in them. U still have a fighting chance. And if u want it as bad as u say u do, trust me you'll get in.</p>
<p>I'm not trying to get all philosophical and vague, but to sum it up- u have a good chance, but it depends on who the other applicants r. Admissions are like flipping a coin. Try that at home. I got what i needed, and it boosted my spirit a lot more than i thought it could.</p>
