Foreign Born namely India, bad living conditions as a kid, helped mother survive cancer, applied from florida (does it matter?)</p>

<p>Thats It. Don't be too cruel on me ;D I think my worst parts are the SAT and ACT test tried really hard on each of them. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>i don't think ur sat numbers add up to 2300, but ur act is great</p>

<p>yea sorry bout that... edited the post. Total SAT is 1770 and ACT is 24. I used the original format from somebody else and forgot to change that part</p>

4

<p>errr being Asian (from India) plus your ACT/SAT scores= not a good combination. Try to get your ACT up to a minimum of 30, but 32 is preferred</p>

5

<p>yes 24 is low.... that's the national average I think..</p>

<p>Okay, I have just a small little problem with your info.
When you apply, please don't say you helped your mom survive cancer. Reword it if you have to, but saying you helped your mother survive cancer is implying she would have died if you hadn't helped.
Now I don't know if you drove your mother to the hospital for her treatments, but don't use it as a hook. If you feel strongly about, I guess you could worm it into an essay. Because as it is right now, it sounds ridiculous. I'm not trying to be insensitive, as both of my parents have had cancer, but it just sounds ridiculous. </p>

<p>Anyways, my two cents.</p>

<p>The only thing in your favor is the fact you are from Florida.
Other than that, your application doesn't look good.</p>

<p>I agree with statick; if you wrote that you helped your mom survive cancer,you are most likey screwed.</p>

<p>But who knows, we are not the admission council. A few more weeks and your fate will be revealed.</p>

<p>I see your point there statick but I only used the fact that my mother had cancer as an inspiration to become a doctor,I should have been clearer </p>

<p>As for the ACT I can't really take it again now because it is too late, I took the ACT once but took the SAT several times.</p>

<p>Your scores are a problem...</p>
