<p>I am an international students from Mainland China, where I think is quite difficult to apply to U.S. It's not convenient for us to take SAT. It's not advancing to get through the verbal parts.
I've got poor score on my verbal and writing.
CR 480
Maths 780
Writing 500</p>
<p>SAT SUBJECTS
Maths 2 : 760
Physics: 630
What kind of LAC or Us can I be admitted?
I don't think Bowdoin will be mine.
Could you guys gimme sum suggestions?
and my TOeFl is 617+5.0
My GPA are As or Bs
I need a lot aid, and I've got no chance to take a second SAT
And there are few students in China apply to LAC. Few of them know these terrific collegs. Could it be a chance to me for diversity? Could it be my advantage?</p>
<p>Unless you have a real great hook, I think chances are slim at Reed. You need to improve the CR a bit like 650-750 range. The mean CR score of Reed is around 700. Reed does not look at your writing section. nor SAT IIs.</p>
<p>A perpetual myth is that colleges fill up their classes with internationals just to increase diversity. No. The academic, English language skills and extracurriculur expections of internationals are THE SAME as americans even though they are evalluated in different pool. Diversity is another asset of the internationals but not the primary one. Also, To use the fact that you took the SAT as your primary hook, you need to prove that it demonstrated courage that defines your character. Maybe you can attempt it in your essay. But here's another idea that I suggest: take the GRE. Its similar to SAT but it is for graduate students. This, I think, is pretty gutsy thing to do, but it can be a pretty good hook too.</p>
