First generation college student, please chance me, i will chance back thx</p>
<p>SAT IIs are the only blemish really (you're native, so the 790 in chinese doesn't say too much about you.) </p>
<p>but other than that you seem really competitive, i'd say it's a match?</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>i say good chance at stern
btw
how did you study for the writing and verbal part of the SATs?
i moved to the states when i was 11 from china.</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance at Stern considering the circumstances for soph year.</p>
