<p>REC's good...
essay pretty good...</p>

<p>I know my sat 1 score and extracurricular activities are weak... but please chance me...</p>

2

<p>i applied to tepper as an international</p>

3

<p>I don't know what A/A means. You seem like an impressive applicant. If admissions made sense, I'd give you a 9/10, but because they're frequently a bit random and mysterious, maybe a 7/10.</p>

4

<p>where were u rejected from???</p>

5

<p>ceroper: sorry about ambiguity... A/A meaning i got A in both first and second semester... is that clearer?</p>

<p>quag_mire: i got rejected from ucla... i thought i had pretty good chance for ucla... well maybe i was too arrogant... so now i'm really nervous...</p>

6

<p>how u got rejected from UCLA? did u ask for financial aid? i can't believe UCLA would reject you....</p>

7

<p>noway... i would never ask for a financial aid.... especially to uc's... i'm already an international student... why would i want to lower my chance... </p>

<p>do u think i have chance for carnegie mellon tepper...?</p>

8

<p>sure man, but i guess ur SAT verbal is kinda low....I'd say you'd get in at Tepper for sure cuz ur international, and not asking for aid...i've heard they take a lotta internationals with relatively low verbal scores but high math scores</p>

9

<p>ya... that's why i took toefl... to compensate my low verbal score...
i hope that's true =) and thanx for paying attention to my thread</p>

<p>well i hope they kinda realize that i'm more math oriented kid who wanna major in business.. cause i heard nowadays... business field requires intensive math skills.</p>

<p>anyways... i kinda have to wait little more... :)</p>

<p>I disagree that internationals are preferred over Citizens. In my opinion, the opposite is true. Tepper is trying to become more well-rounded and the high Math score thing only really works at CS (where a large % of accepted students had a 800 in Math). However, you have a chance depending on the amount of internationals applying and how the rest of your application is portrayed.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>anybody else..? bump...</p>
