<p>Ints with perfect applications except verbal scores, what school are you applying to?</p>
<p>wish i was qualified to answer this question!! i'm average all-round! :(</p>
<p>actually, it's not perfect
say well rounded except verbal scores
I mean just the scores not in real study life</p>
<p>well most if not all internationals who apply to US have low verbal scores so I dont think they r something which should hold u back. If u are good all round u are sure to get in.
Besides a person with poor Verbal can always take the TOEFL to show his proficiency in English.</p>
<p>sats are only a part...if you create a good app they may not even pay any attention to your scores. you really do have a major chance if your only problem is verbal.</p>
<p>Not all internationals have low verbal scores... I think you should really find out about your country because the adcom would probably judge you based on context and the same verbal score from an english applicant and a spanish applicant may be looked upon with different light.</p>
<p>whatevr it be... low verbal scores wont matter in the long run.... A low verbal score for intl. is justfied even in countries where highest is in 750+ .. for intl other partts of testing and overall application make the kill...... Dont worry ..coz if a perfect application has the only weakness inherent in SAT VERBAL scores .there aint a weakness at all</p>
<p>Thank you all replies and encouraging me!</p>
<p>wat would u guys consider a good score in verbal for intls????</p>
<p>anything above 700. I think</p>
<p>wat the f* is a "perfect application". theres no such thing. snap out of this dilusion. u don't get accepted because you have a 4.0... u get accepted because you are intelligent, hardworking, and passionate. getting good grades is a good indication of those things to the adcom, but its not the ONLY nor SURELY indication.</p>
<p>this is so naive... what the hell is a perfect application? is there a book out there with guidelines?? soooo pathetic</p>
<p>I think it's clearly implied that I used "perfect application" to sum things up and I think it's implied nowhere that I have only good grades.</p>
<p>Anyway, it's good that you share opinions so naive people will know that there's no such thing as perfect app and u don't get accepted because you have a 4.0 but u get accepted because you are intelligent, hardworking, and passionate.</p>
<p>second thought....
the rep above was too much drama
let's say... i was drunk</p>
<p>and BECAUSE you're intelligent, abitious and passionate.. your app gets to be so nicely rounded, which makes it all a magical circle:))</p>
<p>anyway, if you're really motivated intelligent blah blah blah..you'll make sure that you brush up your v score. you'll make sure you master that 1000 words list, do 10 or more practise tests..read a few books, easy- peasy:))</p>
<p>There are thousands of international students living in the US with excellent verbal scores.</p>
<p>But don't admission officiers see how long they lived in the US?
In my case, I just came here like 9 months ago, and somebody said it would be kinda advantage, cuz I have been here less than 1 yr. Is it?</p>
<p>yup u wud be in an advantage</p>
<p>I lived in US for just 10 months, too</p>
<p>I've seen many oversea students with SAT scores above 1450 or even 1500. That means they all scored above 650 on verbal.</p>
<p>How low is your verbal score? I presume you did well on your Writing as you have "perfect" scores otherwise.</p>
<p>If you have low CR and Writing scores and you are applying to the Ivies, I'd recommend that you study up and re-take the SAT (or the ACT).</p>
<p>Btw, a high TOEFL score won't help compensate for the low SAT verbal.</p>
<p>"Btw, a high TOEFL score won't help compensate for the low SAT verbal."</p>
<p>Not true
The wholesole motive of the TOEFL is to compensate for the SAT I English.This fact is explicitly stated by almost all ivies and other big Universities.
Also if u are looking to major in Tech related fields I dont think the english things will matter a lot.</p>
