<p>Any comments?</p>

5

<p>Anyone know for personal experience??</p>

6

<p>No comments???</p>

7

<p>maybe ill get some responses tommorow</p>

8

<p>Wow, 7 posts in a row, weren't you desperate. :)</p>

<p>Ok, from what I'm seeing, you have two F's (one re-made) and 5 C's. And with these, </p>

<p>I think Duke might be a Reach. </p>

<p>Or you can change that "might be" up there with an "is".</p>

<p>Everything else looks ok, SAT scores could be a little higher for Duke again, maybe up to 1400+.</p>

9

<p>is UNC-CH a good match for me?</p>

10

<p>..........sure</p>

11

<p>what about recs?</p>

12

<p>so many SAT IIs and so many sub 700s, i hope colleges don't c that, but they probably will. anyway the good thing is your 3 highest are about or equal to 750, bad news is writing is sub 700</p>

13

<p>none are below 650 though...
and they are alll 65%+ percentile
and Math IC is 95% percentile..</p>

<p>recs:
Frisbee
Soccer</p>

14

<p>no more opinions??</p>

15

<p>dude ur bump carzy</p>

16

<p>and why i am crazy?</p>

17

<p>my honest opinion:
in at Duck and all the other ones except for UNC (maybe)
b/c your stats can go either way, you can show that you are good at everything or you can show that you are not particularly good at something</p>

18

<p>will me not being good at english really affect me much at UNC and Duke??</p>

<p>considering:</p>

<p>-its my 2nd language
-im planning to go into math major or related</p>

19

<p>is it ok to be bad at one subject and good at others?</p>

20

<p>ouch</p>

<p>doesn't look too good buddy</p>

<p>The grades matter a lot ... C's and an F won't cut it. SAT is somewhat low and the SAT2's aren't outstanding, especially the Writing. Who knows? Reach?</p>

<p>Reach?</p>
