<p>I'm from good ol'cajun country-Louisiana.</p>

<p>Thanks ALOT for the help, guys!!!</p>

<p>Sorry guys, I really dont want to post twice, but here are some corrections:</p>

<p>SAT II US History: 770 NOT 800</p>

<p>and "last year" implies junior year</p>

<p>Thanks AGAIN!!!</p>

3

<p>come ONNNN, guys, HELP ME OUT.....im REAAALLLY paranoid right now</p>

4

<p>wow, still no response?</p>

5

<p>Hmmm...</p>

<p>UPenn, Washington U and Duke are all pretty big reaches.</p>

<p>UCLA, UC Berkeley is likely a reach as well, seeing as you're out of state.</p>

<p>UChicago and NYU are slight reaches/matches</p>

<p>UT Austin is matchy, but out-of-state also makes this somewhat difficult.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

6

<p>Thanks!!! Oh, and does good interview with Duke and Penn, and one pretty good rec and one OK rec help at all?</p>

7

<p>The rec's don't seem to change things. The interview just shows interest, but that probably won't make or break an acceptance.</p>

8

<p>oh, and how much does the english as second language thing weigh in the college admissions process? Thanks!</p>

9

<p>I think you have to take the TOEFL? It's like the "Test of English Fluency/Literacy?" (not at all sure about that). </p>

<p>I think it helps a little, but isn't necessarily a "hook."</p>

10

<p>well, kinda late now, but, thanks, anyways!</p>

11

<p>sorry about this, but, BUMP</p>

12

<p>any more input??? please???</p>

13

<p>any more opinions???</p>

<p>Please?</p>

14

<p>chance me!!!!</p>

15

<p>i like ur chances at all of these schools </p>

<p>i think that if u get your SAT's a bit more even if you know what i mean like 700's in each then you will be a almost guarantee </p>

<p>My best of luck</p>

16

<p>i think you have good chances at most of those schools, but Duke, Upenn and Uchicago are really hard to get in but i think you got a chance :)</p>

<p>Although WHY WOULD YOU TAKE CHINESE SAT II? WHY CHINESE AP EXAM?
they are the black spots on your app</p>

17

<p>dam, dude, how are they black spots??? there was a person who just came from hong kong and took sat II chinese.....</p>

18

<p>You have 0% chance</p>

19

<p>u of chicago and nyu look pretty good
and ut looks in</p>
