<p>Larry – I have no idea what your chances are, but you have a solid record. Please take a look at this thread <a href=“Prep school admission 08-09 (need your help) - Prep School Admissions - College Confidential Forums”>Prep school admission 08-09 (need your help) - Prep School Admissions - College Confidential Forums; and pay special attention to what edconsultant22 had to say about limited student visas. </p>
<p>You did very well on your ssat. While you might be disappointed in your ability to write like a native speaker, you certainly have mastered enough English to do extremely well on the verbal ssat.</p>
<p>Good luck in your interviews and have a Happy Birthday!</p>
