<p>Notes:
I know my grades aren't really the best.. so I'm hoping my ECs'll make up for it.. I should also mention that I moved between 10th and 11th grade.. so that's why a lot of ECs are only for 2 years, and I couldn't take as many AP classes as I would've liked.. and I couldn't get third year of foreign language cause they don't offer Japanese at my new school T.T
soo.. chance please? thanks a million</p>

<p>bump 10char</p>

3

<p>20% chance</p>

4

<p>You’re in Mensa? ‘.’</p>

5

<p>Critical reading score maybe be only weakness. You have a chance with good essays. Don’t have high hopes but you got a shot.</p>

6

<p>@wongtong: yeah… it’s a bit expensive though… >.>
@bajo: thanks… guess I’m gonna go edit my essays some more then :P</p>

7

<p>Why are you sending your SAT if your ACT is significantly better?</p>

8

<p>I don’t know about the whole ACT things, cjgone. One of my friends only sent in his ACT (which was a 34) but did not get in over my SAT score which was really low compared to his score. I think Cornell takes SAT over ACT.</p>

9

<p>U can send both, but ur ACT is def the stronger of the 2.</p>

10

<p>

That would be a shame as his Mensa membership would better correlate with his ACT score percentile than his SAT percentile. And intelligience is a fairly important trait.</p>

11

<p>Well, this is only coming from personal experience. It could be different with him!</p>

12

<p>Your stats will not keep you out but your essays, letters of rec, EC’s have to get you in along with demographics of the college you’ve applied to’s other apllicants.</p>

13

<p>If you are not in the top 10% and you are unhooked, your chances are extremely low.</p>

14

<p>thanks for feedback guys
IV: what do you mean by unhooked?</p>
