<p>It’s great that you’re taking your SATs and SAT IIs again-try to get those scores up, that’ll be a big help, but having no APs or IBs may be an issue for some of your first colleges. Just take the most rigorous courseload possible this year. Good luck on your tests =) You have a good spread of colleges though.</p>

4

<p>Thx a lot…
But…in our country, it is really that few applicants take IB or AP, not only because they don’t have any test centers…</p>

<p>And I just plan to study 10 APs all by myself and take them on May, 2010. But aren’t they too late…?</p>

5

<p>Definitely apply-who knows (I, sure as hell, don’t ;))I think admissions officers would understand- it may be to late to count for admissions, but if you are accepted, you may be able to skip certain classes =) It also shows initiative!</p>

<p>hump…for help…</p>

<p>CHANCE me please!</p>

<p>your’e pretty much in wherever you want to go, you are truly incredible</p>

<p>ur application is pretty amazing, but for an asian intnl applicant (what country do you come from), it’s not strong enough to get into the first tier of colleges (UPenn, Duke, etc) and makes the second tier high matches.</p>

<p>slight aside: ur grammar could use some work; after all, in college u will be competing w/ mostly native English speakers</p>

10

<p>why si it incredible??</p>

11

<p>Thank you.
I am from China Mainland,it is truly an competitive pool
U mean that the second tier will high matches? so they are nearly reaches?</p>

<p>Yes, i need to do more hardwork, thanks a lot</p>

12

<p>UCs are very tough out-of-state/international, and very expensive. UCB and UCLA are reaches. Are you suggesting that UT-Austin is a safety? It’s not. Also hard to get into out of state.</p>

13

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>i know its true that many public colleges accept few international students.</p>

<p>But UCB and UCLA each accepted more than 50 students in our country.(also very tough)</p>
