How can I impress them???

<p>I guess i get what i should do, I'll just give my best try
I definitely need financial aid
I believe I can make it!!</p>

<p>Hmmm..............lots of confience and positiveness..............</p>

<p>Drsuyi, I am sorry to hear that you don't get to work with a counselor so do use this forum to post your questions throughout the process. </p>

<p>I would advise the following:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Narrow down your list to 5-7. I afraid you will not spend enough time to research the individual college and send in generic and cut-n-paste application that will only hurt your admission chance. </p></li>
<li><p>Address your lack of ECs. E.g. need to work because of family circumstance (if that's the case). </p></li>
<li><p>Think about what you are interested in pursuing anthropology and foreign languages. What got you started? Why XYZ school for that? What's your ambition/aspiration? Try to express those thoughts in your essays.</p></li>
<li><p>Ask your recommenders to include supporting examples/evidences for what you said in #3. In other words, do NOT send in those letters that just say "xyz is smart, diligent, bla bla bla."</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you so much for your advise when i'm really confused right now, I really appreciate it, thank you for your concerns!
I'll take your advise and try the best
thank you again</p>

<p>uhm, dallas808, that taisha forum isn't really that active, that's why i came here. I really don't find any very active chinese forum for SATs and applications, do you know any?
anyway, thank you very much</p>

<p>than how are you going to get in your mid year reports and stuff plus some of the college like cornell and columbia do require students to take at least 3 SAT II</p>

<p>No, Columbia requires only two. I wouldn't know about the others, though.</p>

<p>For liberal art students, Columbia requires two</p>

<p>Wow, 15? That's an impressive number.</p>

<p>For me, I keep my list down to 2. Well, the reason behind my decision to apply to only 2 colleges in the US is not only because I don't have enough time, however. There are some other personal considerations.</p>

<p>Still, like isaacnewton, I suggest that you narrow down your list of colleges. Of course you'll feel difficult - perhaps you may be caught in a dilemma - but I think you have to do so, in order to make sure that you spend enough time for each of your application so that they will all be great.</p>

<p>Good luck in selecting your best-match colleges :)</p>

<p>Perhapes,10 will do.......
as of SAT 2,Yale requires 3 subjects,elsewhere is 2(generally.......or may be just those colleges I have seen so far....)
I will b takin 3 subjects.........</p>

<p>Yes, as far as I know, most colleges require only 2 SAT Subject Tests... The ones that need 3 Subject Tests are Princeton and Yale and I don't know the rest..</p>
