<p>it kinda confuses me though.
u've got very impressive grades in the O-level(11As?! wow!), but the grades during the pre-U aren't consistent with those.</p>

<p>It would be great if you increased your CR score, I reckon. Besides that, great applicant :)</p>

<p>HEY I'm too a chinese girl from Malaysia; applied to MHC and St Lawrence Uni. Wanna talk over at msn or somthing?</p>

<p>The Low SATs are a problem. And so is the TER. I mean; American schools usually like to accept people from the top decile. But I guess your O-levels balance it out.</p>

<p>Also the TER is not a national rank; it's simply a state rank, similar to NSW's UAI.</p>
