<p>2380 Combined SAT (800M, 800V, 750W) << huh? doesn’t exactly add up right.</p>

<p>woops meant to post 2350, and the county semis was for debate</p>

<p>Kinda hard to believe you got 800M. . . .</p>

<p>But anyway, your ECs are solid, and obviously your test scores are great. That GPA is the only thing bringing you down, so it’s neither here nor there.</p>

<p>Buhh… I’m applying with so many fellow Asians… there’s no chance I’m getting in :frowning: esp. because I don’t have stereotypical Asian studiousness. (This is my way of telling you your stats are quite impressive. More so than mine, in any case.)</p>

<p>Btw—Are you applying ED? And are you applying to CC or SEAS?</p>

6

<p>This is for RD >.<
And CC</p>

7

<p>…oh. RD and CC as an Asian female—well, in that case, it’s a rough life.</p>

<p>But, you can take solace in the fact that you’ll probably get in over me (Asian, female, from NY)</p>
