<p>ouch, no one!</p>

3

<p>^I think a bunch already generally chanced you on the Columbia thread for the schools you listed.</p>

4

<p>true, but i care mostly about Harvard! lol and some ppl only look at one college so I posted this in different schools</p>

5

<p>your SATs are a lil low.
can you still take the january SAT? I'm pretty sure Harvard'll take it.</p>

6

<p>unfortunately, no! The deadline was like the 26th for international students to register for the Jan test.</p>

7

<p>honestly, rejected at Harvard. i'm sorry</p>

8

<p>These days, you never know...the unpredictability of colleges has grown..Just remember, they are not going to only look at scores; they will look at everything!</p>

<p>BigWeight... please explain, i really want to know.
For SATs, I know my score is low especially my CR score BUT last year, two people from my school with similar results and a 690 CR, 720 Math, 610 CW got accepted to Yale and they had a total of 2020, mine is just 50 points lower but my TOEFL score will help them know that I dont suck at english, that and my essay and interview and IB English HL predicted grade... so i dont really know, thats the reason why i am asking for people to chance me! Ppl tell me an application is looked at holistically, so i hope that some factors (such as SAT) will not affect their decision a lot!</p>

10

<p>you can take the sats as a walk-on so i would try my best to do that you need to break about 2200 for them not to notice ur sats</p>

11

<p>Why do you want to go to Harvard?</p>

<p>and rejected, sorry....</p>

12

<p>your stats make you unlikely, but anything is possible check my thread about my brother getting accepted last year</p>
