<p>nice, i see you got the maximum cum load, as opposed to the super cum load (were i stand), the magna cum load (where the rest of my boys is it) or the cum load (just the basics).</p>
<p>I took the NLE and got awards (golds) for it too :), thank god for Latin, since it gave me extra awards to put on my app. I have other stuff, but its nice to show you can win awards in the language department</p>
<p>okay... first off the highest award you can get for the NLE is Summa Cum Laude or a Perfect Score... and guys it is MaximA Cum Laude.... ..... LOL </p>
<p>Wow. F- in Latin ... No offense</p>
<p>I'm a Classics major so these things tend to bug me...</p>
<p>Is it ok if you do not have supp recommendations? I just felt that it is better not to have them because adcoms would not want to read 20 pages of app material.</p>
<p>FYI, colleges see the national latin exam as a joke. it's a lame excuse of a measure for latin aptitude. some of the questions are just downright silly. my school personally shuns it like a leper.</p>
<p>Actually, some colleges (not amazing ones) offered me scholarships because I did well on the NLE, as long as I majored in Classics. Latin is not a very common HS language; so I am sure it would look good on a college app to have gold medals on the NLE. There are so many Latin haters on CC.</p>
<p>Umm. You've got the basic chance package. Unfortunately you have no hooks, and you're the typical middle class white kid... like most of us heh</p>
<p>Perhaps you can quickly pick up tennis again and get recruited in the next week or so? Harvard accepts a fair amount of your profile... so don't shoot yourself in the foot before it's too late.</p>
