<p>Essay- "Table".
I will write about a "Table".How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs.

<p>low chances, sorry
There are still tons of great schools that you should be thinking about</p>

10

<p>Even with 2000+ sat ,a great essay and higher rank, I still dont have a chance?</p>

<p>~2000 is usually the low cutoff, if you have a 2000 SAT it doesn't help, and you need something to help offset the gpa. Have you ever thought of the ACT? I was an awful SAT taker, because I always got it down to 50/50, would guess, get it wrong, and get penalized . I had a 1740 on the SAT, but a 31 on the ACT (which converts to around a 2100). It's in your best interest to take both. And I never said you didn't have have a chance, I just said, at least the way things are now, it would be hard... </p>

<p>ps- I got that 31 at the last chance, in October ACT. That's what got me my GT, i'm sure of it</p>

<p>I would go for ACT but I am taking pre cal and I only like chemistry and it probably would have bio( I HATE IT).</p>
