<p>International student
SAT: Maths 750, Verbal 640, writting 580
Course: 7 IB subjects with above average grades
Extra curricular: Just the normal stuff like lots community service, organizer of lion dance in school concert, a few this and that clubs where no leadership positions were held.
Recomendations: Probabily not outstanding because I am not exactly a teachers pet. Not terrible either</p>
<p>supern3rd,</p>
<p>I believe that, for the incoming Class of 2011, about 100 of 1,100 international applicants were admitted. That is less than a 10% acceptance rate...keep that in mind!</p>
<p>With that said, when comparing your SAT scores to those of admitted students of the Class of 2010 (<a href="http://www.lafayette.edu/admissions/requirements.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.lafayette.edu/admissions/requirements.html</a>), your Math score is above-average, your Critical Reading (Verbal) score is average, and your Writing score is slightly below-average. Just know that Lafayette does not consider the Writing portion of the "new SAT" when making admissions decisions, which is good news for you.</p>
<p>The fact that you are taking a rigorous IB courseload will be looked upon highly by admissions officers. How well have you performed in those classes? I need more information in order to make any kind of projection.</p>
<p>Do you partake in any extracurricular activity that may set you apart from similar applicants? It sounds as if you have not devoted yourself to one/two major activities, which, from an Admissions standpoint, is more helpful in revealing an applicant's personality.</p>
<p>The teacher/counselor recommendations, unless they say something absolutely outstanding or exceedingly horrendous, won't add much to your application.</p>
