<p>You look like you have a good shot…with the exception of your Italian SAT score. Do you think maybe you could retake that? The only reason is because it looks like the Italian language is a huge part of your life, so the less than stellar score on the SAT II makes it seem less extraordinary. But…with the right essays it might not matter. :)</p>

<p>Maybe I’ll see you there next year. I’m applying there as well.</p>

<p>Thanks! I might consider doing that, the only thing is that it’s only offered in December. I didn’t prepare enough for it last time, and I definitely should have done better. Thanks for the advice and good luck to you too!</p>

<p>Barnard only wants two subject tests so I’m assuming they’ll just look at your two highest scores. You look like you’re in good shape! Good luck, and maybe I’ll see you there, too :D.</p>
