<p>Don’t they require test scores or no? I honestly have no idea if you have a realistic chance. You have very unusual circumstances.</p>

3

<p>It’s waived after your fifth year out of high school. I’m going to take the sat/act this winter though so that shouldn’t be a problem.</p>

4

<p>In that case, assuming that they measure your scores like they would ours, your ACT/SAT will dictate whether you have a chance. What do you plan on scoring?</p>

5

<p>I’ve been studying so I could see a 1560+. I have a tutor so I’m pretty far along and should do great.</p>

6

<p>1560 with or without writing?</p>

7

<p>Without writing</p>

8

<p>If you get a 1560 without having been in school for years, I like your chances.</p>

9

<p>In three weeks we will know the outcome lol</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
