<p>Why is this urgent?</p>

3

<p>becasue i havent reallyactuallytaken SATs
but i need to know what my chances are…
b4 i can acutlaly do it -_-‘’
but on my practices i always get htese scores so yeah</p>

<p>You need to know your chances before you take the SAT? Why? If your chances aren’t good you won’t take it? Or if your chances are good, you’ll feel like you can do less well on the test?</p>

<p>None of this makes any sense. Plus you’re asking people to “chance” you based on scores you don’t actually have?</p>

<p>In theory I suppose your chances are about as good as any other high achieving student applying… which is to say, not that great. I mean, just because of the great number of talented applicants, not because you’re not also talented. Most of the time it would be easier to figure out who might have little to no chance than to figure out who has a good one.</p>

<p>Having a sibling that went to Amherst does not qualify you as a legacy. Sorry…</p>

6

<p>really??? can you show me? ***…</p>

7

<p>why haven’t you takenthe SATs yet?</p>

8

<p>because the first time i took them they did not meet my expectations…
1980-<em>-``
so i gave up… for a year… and now i want to again…
i know i screwed up my life okay
geez
T</em>T</p>

9

<p>are you applying to Notre Dame?? O.o</p>

10

<p>fightingirish, you certainly haven’t “screwed up you life” – good grief. You’re obviously a very smart and talented student. Wherever you end up you’ll do great.</p>

11

<p>haha thanks alot rentof2, that means a lot…</p>

<p>xAAAx: my school’s mascot is also the fighting irish…
and… no im not applying
right now, amherst is pretty much the only US university that i plan to apply
i only decided to do it because i didnt want to waste the legacy
and if i got in, then i can give legacy to my children too… so yeah… thats pretty much why</p>
