<p>Just got my SATs back and I got an 1860 my girst time around. Now I have 4 months ahead of me to actually study. I plan on applying Early Action and also Im out of state, New York (Early Decision to School of Engineering and applied sciences.) SAT Chem: 650 SAT Math II: 660...will a 4 or 5 on the AP Exam offset my bad Chem score?

Awards/Nominations:
Tied with another student for the highest score on the Chemistry Olympiad in my school. Nominated for the departmental award for AP Chem, it was between myself and the same student I tied with and he ended up winning.
Placed second in the county wide high school tennis tournament last year and 3rd in the Section tournament. Qualified for the Empire State Games in 7ththe grade. I will compete for Haiti next summer in Junior tennis competition even though I was born here.</p>
<p>Rec: i will get my recs from my chem teacher who I had two years in a row and formed a close relationship with. Also from my pre calc teacher who saw my improveme t through out the year.
Other: I attend school in the inner city in the town with the highest murder rate in New York, Newburgh. I will mention this in some of my essays.
Ethnicity: My parents are Haitian immigrants but I was born here so Im black. But my brother is competing for Haiti in the Olympics and I am.competing for them next year.</p>
<p>Thank you to whoever takes the time to read it. Chances and advice will surely help. 'Preciate it and God Bless!</p>
<p>Also, I plan on majoring in Chemical engineering</p>
<p>And way to get class ranking/ gpa? SAT is low and remember extracurriculars/awards from high school ar the only ones included on the Common App</p>
<p>Top 10% and yea I realize I have to retake the SATs. Should I add the stuff outside of school to a resum</p>
<p>Dean J has said she is not a fan of attaching a resume. They want the information to fit on the Common App because they dont want resume padders. What happened in 7th grade is grade is great but it means little to admissions offices. They want high school achievements. What is your SAT breakdown? For E school the Math score should be strongest.</p>
<p>well it is a varsity sport so I thought it should be included. My top score is Math with a 640 but Im studying and will take it over in October</p>
<p>and Im applying early action</p>
<p>Early action gives no advantage at UVa. Shoot for a 2100 on the SAT. Every year UVa is harder to get into OOS. Acceptance rate was 22%. For EA the initial rate was even lower but many were deferred.</p>
<p>Really no advantage? So should I wait for regular decision so I can take my SAT II Math II over?</p>
<p>I got in RD and I liked it because I was allowed to email the admissions office updates through March. Those who were deferred were not afforded that luxury. That said, it would have been nice to know about acceptance back in January. It all depends on what you want but your SAT II is not bad and at worst will simply not enhance your application. They cannot hurt you.</p>
<p>hmmm okay, I really want to know early and I will have my new SAT scores ready, I dont think I’ll have to email too many updates I might stick with EA but will weigh my options. How heavy is the workload for SEAS, specifically chemical engineering if you could tell me?</p>
<p>Next year will be my first year so I won’t be a reliable source on that. All I can tell you is that you have to apply to your major during your first year and that Ive heard rumors that it is manageable. For instance next semester, largely because I am pre-med, I will be taking 4 classes, two of which I have already taken in high school. But everything’s different for everyone. I would highly recommend an overnight visit to guage.</p>
<p>Yea I definitely will, thanks!</p>
<p>“Those who were deferred were not afforded that luxury.”</p>
<p>not true. Deferred applicants can send updates too.</p>
<p>Not after the point they were deferred. Dean J explicitly said that in one of my posts a few months back. I can get a link of you’d like.</p>
<p>Did I read right that you’re competing for Haiti in the Olympics (or at least training for it?)
Definitely mention that, I’d think!</p>
<p>Have you looked into playing for UVa?</p>
<p>No my brothers in the Olympics, Im competing for Haiti in a junior tennis.competition haha. And no I.havent, but I.should</p>
