<p>Dear all,
Thank you very much for your time.
I am posting all my stats and hoping that you would give me some good and valuable advises.
First of all, I am an international applicant. I have completed A levels:
Results:
Physics A
Chemistry A
Biology A
Mathematics A
in O levels, I have got 5 A* 3 A and 1 B.
I have been recently diagnosed with GAD and and is a REALLY REALLY bad test taker. My friends are mind blowing.
I took SAT twice and scored this:
1st time: CR 470 M 670 W 600
2nd time: CR 540 M 650 W 570
I tried to give the SAt subject test and b4 the night of the test, I had NO Sleep in my eyes.
These are my scores
Chemistry 740
Biology M 730
Maths II 690
:'(, i scored soo much more in the official practice test...740 in Maths, 650 in W
I thought I did better but ended up with lower scores the last time.
My teachers are really supportive. Although they dnt know i have GAD but they really like me and have given very good recommendation letters.
I want to study meds and from my own personal experience pursue psychiatry.
Its just my SATs are really killing me.....
My top choice in Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar.
Oh gawd the feeling of dread 24/7 is stressful anf disturbing. And after trying soo hard in the SAT i just ended up with lower scores. I can't even cry so baad.
Please I need your advice. i am planning to write on my struggles and how I am trying to score high. But I am speechless.
The last frigging test i wil have to sit for is IELTS.
If you need more information I am there to give but please do help</p>
<p>Oh wait I remember you. You are that depressed dude from the other thread. You have good A-levels. I don’t think the SAT should be difficult for someone who got all of those As. SAT was a problem for me initially but with practice I got good scores. Try the Barron’s 2400 and Princeton Review. Those were really tight for me, also try all the Blue Book practice tests and if possible get recently released ones. pm me if you can’t get them! 
Goodluck!!!</p>
<p>Oh believe me i tried ALL!!!
10 blue book + 16 official ones from the online
4 Princeton review.
I was scoring good in the math section like around 690 to 740.
I dnt know what happened.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry so much! Your grades look great, and you’re an international student, which is more impressive. There might be some way to indicate that you have GAD while filling out your college apps, or you can add it on where ever you are allowed to put extra information. Also, I’m not sure if this is what you meant, but writing about your struggle with GAD is a great essay topic (ifyou haven’t already finished it). Anyway, good luck! If you want to talk more just message me!</p>

Thank you very much really.
But the thing is there are so many bright students in my school and are probably mentally healthy too. But for me I have faults and I feel Cornell deserves way more better students than me.
I am a little person in this world who just wants to work hard to get a place and be strong. but that just a distant dream.
But I dnt have much academic support. For example take the SATs. I don’t know but honestly I tried so hard and in the end the end result was just disappointted. I agree that sumtyms I study less but sumtyms I reallyjust dnt know why i did so bad. I get frustrated bcs of that. My friends are really better. They had all A<em>s and 700+ in their SATs. When we are apply to the same school I just feel ashamed.
People tell me I am different: a good-hearted soul, a good listener and a fair person. I feel good about it but if my academics are *</em><strong>ty ( compared to that of those which are really fabulous) all these means nothing to me, I even got to the point to start believing that probably i wont be the best and that scares the **</strong> out me. I dnt wanna be the crappy doctor. I just sumtyms cry when thinking of the fact of my limited ability. They seem to be sooo true sumtyms. No matter what I try…it just dsnt get better. Honestly I wish God gives me more intelligence and makes me a person with less errors. I dnt wanna end up killing my patients…i hope u get what I mean.
Sorry about the whining but I am really scared and frustrated. It took me five years to build up my confidence and a second to break it. Confidence is such a valuable gift, which I dnt posses. <em>sign</em></p>
<p>Write a very compelling essay about how its been difficult for you to learn, Cornell should like that. They want a diverse student body,so I might include that in my essay. Trust me inferiority complex shouldn’t be your ish now, I thought I wasn’t going to get in but I did. “Don’t look at your friends just think of yourself as the best”, that’s what an alumni told me when I was fatalistic.</p>

thank you so much for being so supportive and yes I am trying to write about that.
So you did Alevels like me as well or doing it now? Anyways congrats on getting into Cornell.</p>
