<p>What will be my chances if I raise my SAT score significantly?</p>

<p>haha. i really don't know. good luck, though. you seem like you have a chance</p>

3

<p>What public school you go to in Georgia?</p>

4

<p>pope high school...it's very close to walton high school, if you've ever heard of it
waltons most likely the best in all of georgia...</p>

<p>Of course you'll have a good chance if you raise your score significantly. If you feel you're up to it, then you shouldn't have any major problems. Put in a little diligent work over the summer and you'll be fine.</p>

<p>I find these type of threads so misleading and ridiculous. Many high-qualified applicants apply to Northwestern and other selective universities. Not even the most "qualified" in terms of grades, test scores, etc. receive admittance. These universities simply receive more applications than spots available for the prospective freshman class. </p>

<p>Hence, I never answer to any of these type of questions above. None of us works in admissions (although I have been affliated on an occassional basis) so we don't know.</p>

<p>If you can bring up that SAT score, then I say that you have a very good chance of getting in.</p>

8

<p>Of course no one KNOWS if someone will get in or not. That's why they simply ask the CHANCE of getting in. Yes, it would be ridiculous to ask "Can I get in or not?" and expect a definitive answer, but they are simply asking for their chances. If you aren't going to reply concerning his "chances" or give him advice on how to improve his application then why reply to the thread? Or better yet, why even click on the thread and read it?</p>
