<p>I don’t think there’s any doubt you’ll Get into at least one.</p>

<p>What terrible test scores…honestly a 2090 belies your statement that you go to a crazy competitive school. You have virtually no chance with that SAT I, bring it up and your chance is around 24%, 17.8% if you are asian.</p>

<p>2120… ^ you’re definitely not getting into any of these schools either</p>

5

<p>Okay…JacquesIV that was a bit rude…I think you could have put that in a much nicer way, don’t you think?</p>

<p>As an international student, it’s harder to get into these awesome schools you’re applying. That does mean that your SAT score is lower than the level of competition you’re applying to. Is there any chance you can retake the SAT and perhaps score higher?</p>

<p>If not, don’t stress too much :slight_smile: Although the schools you are applying to challenging to get into (people on CC like to call them “crapshoots”) your resume is pretty good. Great essays and recommendation letters will definitely help you out even more!</p>

<p>Finally, please sleep more! :)</p>
