<p>recommendations must be gd i suppose; essays are pretty nice i think..
lets see.. wat the admission committee thinks...</p>

<p>i have about the same SAT as urs and I got in. dunno if its harder for inter. students to get in but i do think u have a chance.</p>

<p>gatorade848... can u plz post ur stats plz..
and had u asked for aid or not</p>

<p>gatorade, you got in with a 32(1410-1450?) on the ACT and ED(although not important in your case), not a 1260 on the SAT during regular decision. Also, international student admissions is significantly harder than for normal students.</p>
