<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>anyone?

<p>It’s impossible to chance without test scores at schools of this caliber. Your grades and EC’s are fine, but update when you get test scores. Thanks and good luck!

<p>I know…but I didn’t expect “you will get in” replies…just how my army experience and my extra-curricular activities influence my chances…coz you need to be unique in order to get into most of these schools…I guess test scores have nothing to do with uniqueness…</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>anyone else please?</p>

<p>We can’t be for certain without your ACT/SAT scores</p>

6

<p>I see…what test scores I need in order to get into these schools considering my army experience and extra-curricular activities?</p>

<p>You have listed a range of schools, some are top some are not, so there is a range of scores you would need to get accepted. The best thing to do is to go to the web sites of those schools and see what their averages are for acceptance as well as the middle 50% if they give that statistic.</p>

<p>I saw their averages…but it doesn’t guarantee me admission if I get them…
Assuming I get the average do I have a chance to get in??</p>
