<p>honestly, it's gonna be tough because you're an Asian international student.....you should prolly try to raise that SAT score; your SAT 2s seem fine</p>

<p>dunno if being younger is gonna be a real hook</p>

<p>do i still count as international if i have us passport but have been studying outside of the states all the time?</p>

<p>no you are not an international student if you are a US citizen</p>

<p>and as for SAT 2s if you are applying to engineering i think you have to send math and either chem or physics.</p>
