have a recommendation from the ministry of education.</p>
<p>My essay work is solid. Also, my recommendations are all excellent (from school teachers).</p>
<p>Whoa you have amazing ecs. Even with those sats i think you can get in a couple of ivys. But bring your sats up and you’ll have an excellent shot.</p>
<p>I think you have a great shot, even with the SAT scores as they are now. Although just to be on the safe side try and breach 2000 And good luck! :)</p>
<p>thanks, all of you ! I’ll try to get over 2000, maybe even 2100 on the SAT. tnx for the support </p>
<p>though I have a question for CERMI: how did you fill out the Current Year Courses section on common app ? cause it’s not even near my school system :/</p>
<p>First Semester/Trimester Second Semester/Trimester</p>
<p>I’ll use first and second column for the first and second half of the yera (almost like a semesters) and the last column for subjects that didnt fit into the first columns (there are too few lines, we have like 13-14 subjects). </p>
<p>Not sure that’s the right way, but that’s what I consider to be the best option.</p>
<p>right. i have 15 subjects a year too so i don’t which to write. a friend had sent an inquiry so when they get back to him i might know. i hope so.</p>
<p>btw: what are u applying ? and how much did you get on SAT ?</p>
<p>I’m form Czech rep., but I guess you asked primarily carterwr since he’s either from Italy or Slovenia. My tip is Slovenie just before the borders with Italy.</p>
<p>I haven’t decided yet, I’m thinking of applying for Cornell, Georgetown, University of Chicago, maybe Brown…Since I’m an Intl student and my language of instruction is Italian I hope they disregard my W section which definetely sucks!</p>
<p>why not? I know it’s kind of boring (5 hours of a Sunday morning wasted for a stupid test) but maybe it can still be useful. Which schools are you applying for?</p>
And good luck! :)</p>
