<p>My first post on here, so a hello to everybody!</p>
<p>I've been reading posts on here, checking out threads and such, and wow, I must say, this is a smart fest.</p>
<p>I'm a junior, just sat for my SAT 1 for the first time last December, I didn't score too well (1700). I'm the kinda kid who's really obsessed with getting into a decent college, I've been workin my ass off and after seeing all those posts in the ''rejections'' thread, things aren't looking too good for me.</p>
<p>I don't really have much on my record, 3.7 GPA, and a handful of extracurriculars. A lousy SAT 1 score which I will be sitting for again probably. The only advantage I may have, which I doubt with so many people being Bi-tri lingual these days is that I'm tri lingual, having lived overseas most of my life.</p>
<p>I'm going to be applying to a few good, yet non-Ivy league colleges.</p>
<p>USC, Berkley, U of Utah, U of Colorado, and Michigan Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>Do I stand a chance?</p>
