<p>C'mon guys, please help me</p>

4

<p>Get your SAT scores up. The way they are, you don't really stand a chance at those schools.</p>

<p>And I don't think any of us know a damn thing about universities in Singapore.</p>

5

<p>I'm half filipino.</p>

<p>Study hard on those standardized test scores. Those are your weaknesses.</p>

<p>All the best.</p>

<p>hello. i'm filipino and im kinda looking into all the schools ur looking at. i would basically say that your sat score needs to be above 2100. maybe in the 2200 range just to be sure. otherwise, your stats seem pretty okay. i don't really know how they judge foreign applicants. my brother went to a high school in the philippines too and he had better stats than you but he was rejected from berkeley. got into la. btw you're probably gonna need to take sat IIs... </p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>minnan is not a language....its just another version of mandarin.....its like saying u speak british english and american english</p>

8

<p>I'm also Filipino. I'm a native born U.S. citizen, so I don't know how colleges look at international students. Because I'm born and raised in California, I'm eligible through ELC(Eligiblity in Local Content)</p>

<p>UCLA/UCB: slight reach/ reach</p>

<p>Did you take an honors courses, AP, IB, or college courses?</p>

<p>Check if you can take the ACT. I think it might be easier, but you should retake the SAT and take the SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>Your ECs are fine.</p>

9

<p>REJECT at all schools in the United States.</p>

10

<p>heh I'm half filipino also. Are we considered URMs?</p>

<p>Raise the SAT scores/take the ACT.</p>
