<p>good chance - too bad ur sat CR/wr/bio scores are low - otherwise strong app.</p>

3

<p>Woah, you definitely have a high chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Plus, I think the admission peepz are gonna slightly forgive you for not having a high reading/writing score, it isn't your native language after all. Awesome math score though lol</p>

4

<p>Really?! YAYY i hope i do get in, i just joined college confidential and Im suddenly obsessed with it
thank you guys.. i really hope i get in! my dream is harvard though :(</p>

5

<p>is that another way of saying theres no chance for me to get into Harvard? lol</p>

6

<p>ahahahahaha. <3 Chad10!</p>

<p>You look really strong, CR is very low, but you are foreign so you kind of have an excuse. Q: Isn't IB in English? If you get such high grades in IB, why is your one subject test relatively low? Either way, nice EC's (MUN FTW! Are you going to the conference in Cairo soon(CAIMUN)? I'm chairing..maybe I'll see you there) If your essay's good, I think you have a chance..but you never know with the elite schools.. Is Northwestern your "safety"? LOL</p>

7

<p>no :( we went to Jordan MUN (AMMUN) instead... northwestern is target id say.. i have my safety schools .. and yep IB is in english but that doesnt mean i am extraordinarily proficient at it, after all, i speak a different language outside the classrooms and english is my 2nd language.. i really hope that the other things i did cover up for my CR score.. are u Egyptian?</p>
