<p>I'm international, Asain, and female.
I got 540 on SAT critical reading (very scary)
600 on writing and 800 on math (as all Asians)</p>
<p>I think all my ECs, awards, recs, and other test scores except Verbal can get me into colleges I want. But with these verbal scores, what are chances at Swarthmore, Wesleyan, Carleton, Williams, Macalester, and any Ivies?</p>
<p>I hope to get 750-800 on mathII, physics, and chemistry</p>

<p>and what other schools are good match for me?
I'm not in USA anymore so I have less information and the feel of US colleges. so please help</p>
<p>It will hurt you probably at all top 25 tier one liberal arts or national universities because all require excellent writing and reading comprehension skills. They are not likely to make exceptions for nonnative English speakers even when such students have 800 math scores, which aren't that rare from international students applying to such universities.</p>
<p>Since you lived in the US, I am thinking that with practice, you probably can raise your cr and writing scores more than would be easily possible for someone who lacks an immersion experience here.</p>
<p>There are plenty of fine schools below the top level schools. I think the top 25 universities or LACs are major reaches. Perhaps you could also include many between 25-50. Look at some state universities too.</p>
<p>I think you guys are sort of wrong. Won't they consider the fact that she is not from America and is not very well spoken in English? I think they will consider that and won't think so harshly upon her scores concerning English.</p>
<p>you have a fair shot at the liberal arts colleges, especially Williams and Amherst because they are trying to destroy their reputations as rich white male schools. you should still apply to the ivies, but consider MIT and CIT because they are far more apt to accept a math oriented student like yourself than are harvard, princeton, or yale.</p>
<p>"you have a fair shot at the liberal arts colleges, especially Williams and Amherst because they are trying to destroy their reputations as rich white male schools."</p>
<p>While Williams and Amherst want a diverse student body, that doesn't mean that they want students with low SAT cr scores. There are plenty of Asian students who apply to Williams and Amherst who have high SAT cr scores and would therefore have much better chances than the OP.</p>
