<p>advise. Thank you ^^</p>

<p>How's your stats really bad?</p>

<p>hyung neem- or nuna, those stats are really good. better than mine at least kekekek.. T.T</p>

<p>I apologize for not being so modest. I just wanna say that I got low SAT score than other people got. Since I haven't seen any people who have worse grades and ECs than I got in collegeconfidential. I really apologize and please reply my question. Thanks.</p>

<p>actually my ECs are far from yours... -_- Math team captain, Freshman president, Theatre leader, etc. are impressive. Your EC can get you verryy far, if, you raise your scores. At least try to do really well on the math section, and the writing and reading sections can hopefully be overlooked. You need to have some confidence in yourself =)</p>

<p>You're stats are decent .. but what will effect you're chances is your financial situation.</p>

<p>Most colleges consider financial need in the admissions process, so if you don't plan to apply for financial aid, it won't hurt you .. but if you do, it will probably hurt your chances</p>
