Low SAT scores. Chance me for USC, UCSD, UCLA, Uni Wins Madison, etc

<p>Madison: I’d say you’re in there with your extra-curriculars and stuff, though tests could be better to be safe. Same goes for Ohio State.</p>

<p>The others I don’t know well enough to comment, sorry :stuck_out_tongue: I won’t lie to you and pretend I know.</p>

<p>That said, I do suggest you also look into Tufts. They really like international students and have a big international focus. It might be a bit of a reach for you, but go for it. Same goes for Macalester, check them out.</p>

<p>For writing, really try and make yourself stand-out. You’ve got a rigorous courseload and activities, but a lot of them are things tons of people do already. Focus on things you are especially good at and that stand out, like Chinese.</p>

<p>The best writing advice I got and what I’d tell you is: “Write about something only you can.”</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
