<p>All,</p>

<p>This is not about me but about another student I know whom is applying this fall. I have my own opinions and would like to hear yours. They are applying to Boston University, Boston College, Northwestern, University of Virginia, Georgetown, George Washington University, Lehigh, University of Texas - Austin, Rice University, Wake Forest University, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, and Duke. </p>

<p>SAT I: 450/490/490</p>

<p>SAT II: English Literature:530
Math: 520
History: 450
Japanese: 640</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9 (weighted), not top 10% (small [about 50 seniors] moderately competitive high school), probably top 15%-20%</p>

<p>Courseload: Decently heavy (6 AP courses total, only one with a score back and it's a 3 in World History...I would anticipate probably mostly 3s on the exams, maybe one or two 4s)</p>

<p>Activities: Decently strong: President of major student organization, varsity sports, weekly volunteering</p>

<p>Essays: I would anticipate they will be decently well-written. </p>

<p>Potentially interesting factors: Educated at English-speaking school (American citizen/native English speaker) abroad, half-Japanese</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>sorry. score are too low for all.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. Do you think their profile will still be somewhat competitive at Wake now that Wake isn't requiring SAT scores?</p>

<p>i don't really know much about those schools.</p>

<p>Your friend didn't even break 1500 on the SAT's and did poorly on the subject tests.
They're all high reaches for your friend for the colleges he/she listed.
Maybe your friend should consider some state universities for a better chance.</p>

<p>Wake Forest does require SAT scores. I can't see why they won't, unless they take the ACT scores. </p>

<p>Overall, your friend will most definitely get rejected by all his/her schools listed. Tell him/her to apply to some CC's or State U's for a better chance.</p>

<p>WFU</a> | Window on Wake Forest</p>

<p>Wow. Didn't really think Wake Forest made the ACT/SAT's optional. </p>

<p>Well, then I guess your friend has a decent shot for WF. He/she will still earn a rejection at every other school he/she listed other than WF.</p>

<p>Good luck to your friend though, ellebee.</p>

<p>Thanks. I already thought they'd need the good luck but I went to school a few years back and thought maybe I was just out of the loop and being a downer or something. </p>

<p>Good luck to you, too!</p>
