<p>Score Update
My Dec SAT just came out.
I failed to get 2200, just 660 800 670 essay 10</p>

<p>superscore 2150</p>

<p>Essay would be awesome
one rec will be stellar another would be fine</p>

<p>chances?Thx</p>

<p>For an international student especially requiring aid I would say low</p>

6

<p>I am not applying for aid</p>

7

<p>i think your scores are a bit low. none of your ecs really stand out either.
so i'd say low chances</p>

8

<p>Going to need a stellar essay and some EC's at least to put you in competition with other International People. Do something that would make you stand out from the rest of the International people.</p>

9

<p>yes, I think.</p>

10

<p>"Any asian internationals around New England getting one? "</p>

<p>yes, I know one case.</p>

11

<p>oh…</p>

<p>couldyou tell something about her/him?</p>

12

<p>and when did he/she get it?</p>

<p>don’t take this as an offence, but english is obviously your second language. you’ve even taken the toefl. Your SAT scores in math and science are stellar. It’s obvious that the language is somewhat of a barrier for you. Having english as a second language will probably give you significant leeway in terms of your SAT CR and W scores. Moreover, the fact that you got above-average scores on CR and W doesn’t hurt. </p>

<p>Applying to college after just coming to the US is tough. Consider Cooper Union in New York. It’s very strong in engineering and has a very large asian community, which may help you ease in to college life in America. </p>

<p>If I’ve misjudged anything here, please know it was unintentional and I meant no offence.</p>

14

<p>Don’t worry. Your scores may be not good enough to receive a likely letter, but more than likely, you will be accepted by a good school later. Since you don’t need financial aid, you are treated more or less as a domestic student. Good luck!</p>
