<p>solid chance</p>

3

<p>grades and sat are where they need to be. you have some nice extracurriculars, which i think may put you in the running, but i don’t see you being ultimately admitted with what i see here. good luck, prove me wrong</p>

4

<p>How much of an effect do SATII’s have? I believe I just royally failed my Physics II.</p>

5

<p>Not that much, but a score less than 700 could hurt you. You have just about an average chance, but maybe be a bit less. good luck! Are you applying to the regular school or Fu?</p>

6

<p>Not for Fu, just CC.</p>

7

<p>You’ve got a good shot. Best of luck on the SAT Subject Matter exams.</p>

8

<p>Being an international student applying for financial aid is gonna kill ya</p>
