<p>Do you have any SAT subject tests or will you take any? I think at least two are required/ strongly suggested by most colleges. Check the schools' websites, they should have a section about those.</p>
<p>Those SAT scores just might have an impact when the colleges decide. However well u do on the next sitting they might wince when dey see dat u got a 550 in math, especially when u want to pursue engineering and sort at one of the best institutions (MIT).
but best of luck, i just might be wrong!!:)</p>
<p>you may wanna try the ACT... my first time i took the SAT i had some bad scores... i tok the ACT and got the equivalent of like 200 points higher on all subjects...then i took the SAT again.. and studied like crazy during Christmas break....but i think you should look at the ACT also</p>
<p>your SAT is low for MIT stanford harvard...by a lot.</p>
<p>now i dont know how much AA helps (african female), but u might want to either retake the SAT or try the ACT.</p>
<p>Like everyone else said, you're scores are dragging you down. Otherwise, you're in good shape (especially because you're Af-Am).</p>
<p>Harvard accepted two black girls from my high school with 3.7's and like 2000-2100s on the SAT.</p>
<p>If you get your SAT to 2000+ I'd say you get in everywhere.</p>
<p>The joys of being a URM..</p>
<p>UT Austin-match
Rice-reach
UT Arlington-safety
MIT-uber reach
Stanford-uber reach
Spelman-match
Purdue-??
UNC-reach
Harvard-no</p>
<p>in at UTs/spelman/purdue/UNC
score a little higher and you'll be in at rice (being AA helps a lot)
work your ass off if you want to get into the rest...</p>
<p>lol everyone keeps talking about the african american girl part...
in another thread the op was ****ED OFF when ppl keep saying how african girls benefit from the process (which is true), i wonder how she'll respond to this thread....</p>
<p>My life would be so much easier if I were Native American rather than Chinese. Come on, same ancestors but somehow I get ****ed!!!</p>
<p>well, the native americans are technically yellow (asian)
million of years ago they went from central asia->east asia->russia->across the ice to alaska->the Americas.
so asians should be regarded samely as native americans since they ahve the same ancestors! </p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>another theory is that the world's oldest fossil of human was found in Africa. If humans originally started out in africa, technically everyone is african (race-wise)</p>
<p>did she leave the thread?</p>
