<p>I know my SAT1 score is extremely low; however, that is because of my lack of proficiency in english language as i moved here three years ago..it is not an excuse for a low score, but it definitely played a big role in pulling me down..do you think it will affect my chances terribly?</p>

<p>I will welcome constructive criticisms</p>

<p>bumppppppppppppppppp</p>

<p>well if you can articulate the reason your SAT english is low very well to the colleges, perhaps it wont negatively affect you that bady, but how is your SAT 1 Math score? if your SAT I math score is not 700+ then it probably wont look that great, if its clearly uneven (high math, much lower reading) then colleges will perhaps take that langugae barrier into account but unlikely</p>

<p>anyway, UVA- id say good change, in state slghtly higher change i guess
Rice and Cornell-reaches, Rice is known for in a way taking in a disporportionate amount of Texas kids over other states kids, but they also get way more Texan applicants; Cornell depends on the school, AgSci- good chance, CAS-harder, Eng- harder (AgSci would be easiest for you id say)
Wash U- difficult to say they are sort of stat oriented but im not too aware of this school to make a judgement
WM- dont know what school this even is haha William and Mary? if it is i still dont know much about this school sorry</p>

<p>UVA, WM, Rice, Washu and Cornell</p>

<p>SAT is a bit low, but you have good AP scores & rank, and classes to make up for it.</p>

<p>UVa - Match
W&M - In
Rice - Low Reach
WashU - Low Reach/Reach
Cornell - Reach</p>

<p>Just my 2 cents, you should have tried the ACT. My SAT I is a 1700 (had the flu when taking this), but ACT is a 33 which is basically like a 2220. </p>

<p>UVA - Match
W&M - Match
Rice - Low Reach
WashU - Reach
Cornell - Reach</p>

<p>I’d say you would be a match for rice, cornell, washu if your SAT I was a bit higher.</p>

<p>you definitely seem like an awesome candidate i’m jealous. uva definitely in, i’m assuming you’re instate. matches for the others as well. cornell is going to be a reach even for the perfect applicant, its an ivy league, but i still think you have a strong chance, great grades and extremely involved in highschool. please chance back!</p>

7

<p>thanks for all the responses
yes i’m instate
and my scores are extremely disproportionate…with a 740 on math and a 510 on CR…this is where it all fell apart…i hope colleges overlook or at least place less emphasis on my reading scores</p>

8

<p>51 in CR will be a huge disadvantage for you. will you take SAT again in Jan?
i would say</p>

<p>UVA - Match
W&M - Match
Rice - mid-reach
WashU - Reach
Cornell - Reach</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

9

<p>yeah i kinda knew that…hopefully my research and ok gpa and class rank will help me</p>

10

<p>How do you have AP scholar with distinction?</p>

11

<p>SATs are definitely low for those schools, but you definitely have some interesting ECs. But again, your SATs are low…</p>

<p>UVa - mid reach
WashU - mid/high reach
Cornell - high high reach</p>

<p>Tips: retake SATs - you can raise! I’m from Sweden, went to a swedish school, raised SAT from 1730 - 2190!</p>

<p>But I think that you’ll get into at least one of those! Good luck! :)</p>
