<p>What are ur SAT scores and AP scores? Otherwise, I think that you have a pretty good shot althought that c is a pretty big setback. It is an AP class, so I guess it's explainable.</p>

3

<p>yeah, i almost cried over that C! :-(
i didn't do as well on my SATs because I didn't prep for them as much as the ACT so i submitted my ACT scores.
but.. 610-verbal, 660-math</p>

<p>*didn't take SAT IIs
3s on the APs, didn't send scores</p>

4

<p>what about SAt IIs and APs?</p>

5

<p>Stats and ECs I think u can consider average at most of those schools. I'd say you're in everywhere down the list from RPI. Above that you might get into a couple.</p>

<p>thanks for your replies!<br>
do you think that my chances are slightly increased at northwestern since my dad went to their kellogg school of business? i wasn't sure because his was grad school and i'm going for undergrad..</p>

7

<p>did you send your SAT scores?
Well, you'll probly get in, (lol, violin and piano, so typical Chinese), don't worry about it.
Life goes on with the C. -------------------------------></p>

8

<p>no, i didn't send my SATs.
they might have been on my transcript though.. ehh.
yeah, very typical with that piano and violin.. that's not a good thing, lol
yes i know, i'm over my crappy grade already.</p>
