<p>Yeah, I know several people who got excepted into Exter with that low of a score. Idk aboutthe CD thing.... I'm going to send one in just in case.</p>
<p>Nice! :) What instruments do you play? OR do u sing?</p>
<p>It's not like it will hurt your chances, if anything they will improve.</p>
<p>o btw. i have to say.my ssat is</p>
<p>Verbal - 734 - 84%</p>
<p>Math - 776 - 83%</p>
<p>Reading 686 - 70%</p>
<p>Average - 86%</p>
<p>Is that a bad scorE? And will reading affect it? Will the admissions look at my reading and say, "Oh he doesn't read,- decline" ? Plz help. My anxiety is KILLING ME</p>
<p>I don't really think the reading will affect it too much. If they know that you can from a French speaking school, I don't think they will consider the reading score too much. Just try your best. Did you have your interviews already? If not, really impress them then and explain your situation.</p>
<p>yep i did my interviews. this guy at deerfield seemed like he was interested in what i had to say. i mean he laughed and we got along fine. on the other hand, andover was a bit harsh cuz he was quite a serious guy.</p>
<p>it probably won't affect it, but the scores vary every year. however, getting in the 80's puts you in the running, it doesn't hurt or help so you're good</p>
<p>i did not purchase the web account deal, so everyone else who has not found out their scores in their e-mail are still waiting right? hopefully mine will be in the mail tomorrow. </p>
<p>oh and just enjoy the break and relax. don't stress about apps. and essays. happy holidays to everyone!</p>
<p>great scores! you should be happy. have you done your essays, apps., etc.?</p>
<p>doing them right now.:P its pretty ez.</p>
<p>wow you're applying for alot!
I'd say you have a really good chance of making it at the schools you mentioned...</p>
<p>Also, can someone answer the question if the graded essay matters alot? I really want to know too!</p>
<p>i guess the essays do matter alot because it kind of tells the admissions committee who you are, what kind of person you are, your logic, your thinking. you can tell a lot about a person from a single essay</p>
<p>Consider applying to Hotchkiss, its just as good as A/E, Deerfield, SPS etc... and may actually be a better fit for you than thoes schools take this into consideration:</p>
<p>Hotchkiss has the best Chinese course (in non-Chinese schools of course) in the country hands down. For more than 100 years Hotchkiss has brought students from China to the school and there still is a special "Chinese Connection". In fact over 1/4 of all US ambassadors to china went to Hotchkiss (including the current Ambassador). So Old Hotchkiss boys can get the very best Chinese teachers from China to go to Hotchkiss.</p>
<p>Also Due to Hotchkiss' position as the pre-eminent business school in the world many Chinese tycoons have brought their kids to Hotchkiss such as the founder of Ming Cosmetics (who is a Hotchkiss grad), and another Chinese alum who founded CNet.com and download.com .</p>
<p>Many students, both Chinese and a large number of non-Chinese students, are taking the Chinese course. Furthermore there are numerous Chinese and Korean individuals at Hotchkiss. I came from Malaysia myself. I have to say coming to Hotchkiss was the best move of my life. I think that there are more Chinese here at Hotchkiss than at my old international school in Malaysia and Brunei (percentage wise anyways).</p>
<p>Jeez stop pumping Hotchkiss already >.< or atleast vary your posts a little. Sorry was bugging me >.<</p>
<p>Istolemynose ... that's rich, especially comming from someone who plugs Exeter whenever possible. I don't think prezomar is "pumping" Hotchkiss anymore than you and other people pump Exeter and Andover. Everyone does it.</p>
<p>Wish i could edit that post, it doesn't really convey what I mean. I might post things that are pump exeter sometimes. But not like a consumer ad. It gets tiring to see the exact same post on like three different threads. I'm gonna go check my post history to see if i really do this</p>
<p>I honestly can't find a single post by me which does nothing but advocate Exeter by me. Theres a difference between a ad and liking a school</p>
<p>Well everyone has different interests, so different schools appeal to different people. If someone posts something that is annoying, just ignore it.</p>
<p>Your probably right. I would delete it if I could >.< no reason to start a confrontation especially when all you did is post something twice or three times. </p>
<p>Sorry premozar</p>
<p>as far as businesskid, you replied to my moderately rude comment with a really rude comment, I basically apologized right after saying the "moderately rude comment". No reason to blow up on me like that. Gah sorry for instigating a confrontation again</p>
<p>Haha istoleyournose, you are hilarious.</p>
