<p>Standardized Test Scores are way too low.</p>

<p>I disagree with that as a generalization. My SAT I was significantly lower than yours and here I am. Your SAT IIs are on the low side however. I think my heavy course load essays are what got me here. Oh, and I think they liked that I was in London.</p>

<p>perhaps you need to look at the scores again, because you are saying that on the old test you scored significantly lower than about 1000. besides the scores, i would you say you have about the same background as the average applicant. you definitely need a great essay, and then who knows?</p>
