<p>the only advice i have is proofread your essay better than your post</p>

<p>oh ya and your chances are as good as anyones</p>

<p>oh ya and your chances are as good as anyones</p>

<p>If you're currently living in Illinois, I don't think you're technically considered an international student.</p>

7

<p>i am because i am here with a J2 VISA
it just means that i am a student here, and i am not a US citizen.</p>

<p>so do you think i can do ED?</p>

<p>If I were on the admissions committee, I would give you an acceptance letter.</p>

<p>Don't worry about your scores! A 33 is a fantastic score and is good enough for any school. If you don't like your SAT I scores, then "do not share" them with admissions. It's as simple as that.</p>

<p>EC's sound pretty sweet too. Although, I do not think the who' who selection ought to be put on the application.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>anybody else?</p>

<p>i got into jhu bme rd! you probably have a good shot, BUT know this: when you send your SAT II's to JHU they WILL see your SAT I score....BUT your ACT is very good :)</p>

<p>international acceptance is epic tough, so good luck, I mean you're a good candidate, but so is every toher intl. so its a crapshoot...</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!! Maybe I'll see you there in a couple years ;)</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance, provided you don't need a lot of finaid.</p>
