<p>International student from Saudi Arabia, strong in math but kinda sucks in English, especially, in writing. Football and basketball player. Mechanical Engineering</p>
<p>TOEFL : 220 (560) (sucks)
SAT I : Math 740 (kinda good) , Verbal 330 ( phenomenal)
High Grades in my high school ( 2nd out of 148 )
ill take SAT II after 3 days
tell me plz my chances at these colleges</p>
<p>u got a 330 on verbal?</p>
<p>Caltech - NO WAY
Carnegie Mellon - NO WAY
EMORY - NO WAY
Purdue - a glimmer of hope
UMich - Ann Arbor - NO WAY</p>
<p>I suggest you retake the TOEFL or the SATs. Colleges want good verbal scores (above 600 for internationals) because you will be doing a lot of reading in your classes.</p>
<p>boomer is i have a 4.4 w gpa and a 1420 SATS and great ECs do you think I have a shot at Emory since I applied early decision</p>
<p>Yeah, I think you'll make it but stop hijacking other people's thread.</p>
<p>MO, forget about CalTech. Ain't gonna happen. They expect close to 750 on both sections of the SAT to even consider an applicant.</p>
<p>Michigan and Carnegie Mellon are possibilities...if you can raise your SAT verbal score to 550. A 600 would be even better. Your Math score is fine.</p>
<p>Purdue is a reach as it stands, but if you can raise your SAT verbal to 500, Purdue is pretty much in the bag for you.</p>
<p>You can get Purdue, bro.</p>
<p>Purdue will waive the SAT I for you if you send in your TOEFL scores (You'll have to increase it quite abit).</p>
<p>Check the international students admission page at Purdue.edu</p>
<p>BTW, Minnesota has the 4th best Mechanical Engineering program, and they only require toefl for international students. I suggest you apply there as well. Same for Penn State - University park.</p>
<p>Do not send your SAT I scores, sending the SAT II scores might be of help though.</p>
<p>bad news :( , but thnx everybody</p>
<p>i dont think that anyone on this site can know what your chances. if you live in saudi arabia, or just moved here, then i think your 330 is great. if you can get it up a little more that would be even better, but all those schools that you're applying to will take into account that english is not your first language. good luck!!</p>
<p>thnx jillx . U 2 good luck. im releived :)</p>
