<p>We can't chance you without GPA and SAT score.
If it's true that your GPA "sucks," your chances are slim despite your great subject test scores.</p>

<p>thanks to above.
I'll add my SAT here after receiving my OCT score...
I think GPA is not so important for international students as for native students since different countries have different scales.</p>

<p>You use letter grades?
Is it out of 100 points?</p>

5

<p>No GPA listed--no explanation of courseload at your school, and no SAT scores yet.So we are judging you on your ECs and your SAT IIs?</p>

<p>And you're apologizing (making excuses) for SAT IIs of 800/770/760?</p>

<p>I think I'll pass on giving you any chances based upon what's written here.</p>

<p>All the students here are taking the same courses... No APs
I think my science courses could be considered as honor ones..
Yes, we use grades out of 100 points.. The highest grade maybe around 90 or 95, so i say it sucks.
I do apologize for asking you to chance me based upon the inadequate information here. I will add my SAT in after I receive my OCT test score..
Sorry and thank you.</p>
