<p>Hi Stuckinnj,</p>

<p>From what you mentioned I think that you would definately have a good chance at getting into MHC. I know last year the pool was particularly competitive and but it looks like you fit the average profile. I would have some other schools in mind as a back-ups though. Nothing is for sure! Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree with Adeline. MHC see is a realistic reach for you. Think about Wheaton (MA) as a back up.</p>

<p>thanks you guys!</p>

<p>i actually met the person who is reading my app and she knows my name by now.</p>

<p>and i also chatted with her online.</p>

<p>i also met a alumni at a college fair!</p>

<p>do you think these will help?</p>

<p>ok. well i just got my SAT scores. and you know how SAT scores are optional at MHC?</p>

<p>should i send them in? they're amazing.</p>

<p>750 (critical reading)
690 (math)
540 (writing)</p>

<p>so if i combine scores,
750 (CR)
710 (math)
600 (writing)</p>

<p>so 1460!!! :)</p>

<p>do you think it will help?</p>

<p>Your SATs are good and worth submitting but I'm a little doubtful about the WR score. Make sure something else in your app testifies to competent writing skills in English.</p>

<p>thanks pyewacket.</p>

<p>i know i have no idea why my writing score keeps on going down.</p>

<p>i took the toefl and i got a 30 (perfect score) on writing, so i hope this will compensate for that low score in writing.</p>
