<p>wow, your school has really illegit foreign language classes.</p>

5

<p>Send the ACT score! You have an excellent chance, I think.</p>

6

<p>Thanks to everyone, and DetergentDrinker, what do you mean illegit…?</p>

<p>Those ACT/SAT scores would not hurt you, probably would help!</p>

<p>Definite in. I got accepted last week, and we have the exact same SAT scores (1440/2130), and you have a better weighted GPA than me. I have a better UW though. Your extra curriculars are pretty impressive too, I’d say we’re about the same there. So if I got in, you should too!</p>

<p>Don’t send your ACT scores. They roughly translate to a 1320 SAT, and your actual SATs are much higher.</p>
