<p>Chance me please
Hi! I go to a private high school in Turkey. In the Turkish system, we had to take an exam before going to high school. And I am in a school where the student with the lowest score on the exam was in 99th percentile, so we are all geniuses lol. I am saying this because my GPA is not so high and that is the reason. I am hoping to do an econ degree.</p>

<p>SAT: 2390 (790 on writing)
Subject Tests: 800 on Maths 2, 790 on Literature
TOEFL 677/677 paper-based
GPA: 88 (in Turkish Education system grades are shown with a 1-5 system and 85+ is 5.0)
Was 99.5 percentile in the MSOS: Turkish exam for high schools
Rank: school doesnt reveal but not in the top 3
AP: english, programming in Java, Statistics, Calculus BC, geometry, english writing (all 5)

<p>You just cant get in even if you had cured cancer with 2000 SAT.</p>

<p>keesh17, I just meant that my heritage is only French, even if you go back 10 generations.</p>

<p>darthvader2, I haven’t taken my SAT for the second time yet. Apart from my scores, what do you think?</p>
