<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>I am a German senior and would like to study in the US. Here in Germany you are obliged to do one year of social service after your high school degree. Anyway, I applied to Stanford and MIT and got rejected by both. Now I am considering to do my social year and reapply for next year. This would be s.th. like a gap year then.
Some questions:
1) How do I get my teacher's recommendations? I mean, the probably forgot me. What is more, they have already written a recommendation for Stanford/MIT.</p>
<p>2) What about the SATs? I got perfect SAT Subject tests, I took them Dec 2005. Am I supposed to retake those anyway?</p>
<p>3) Is there anything I should know about reapplying to college?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
