<p>Practice your English and essay writing skills. If you moved here two years ago, chances are you're an international student, which is a far more competitive pool (about 1/3 as many international students get accepted). In such a competitive pool, everything counts. Your SATs alone won't make or break you, but your essays will. When they have that many good foreign students to choose from, and can only take 6-8% of them, character counts.</p>

<p>Good luck,
