Share people!</p>
<p>Damn, it took me a while to see this 
I’m applying to Harvard, MIT, Cornell, Dartmouth, Yale and Princeton. You? What were your SAT/toefl scores?</p>
<p>I´m applying to Havard, cornell, columbia, U.Michigan and Georgetown. Fierce competition.
I´m still waiting for Sat and Toefl results. What about yours? Good scores?</p>
<p>I got 800s on the SAT subject tests (Math2 and Physics), a 114 on the TOEFL, and a 2120 on the SAt (770 Math, 660 CR, 690WR). I’m taking the SAT again in January.
What’s your highschool average?</p>
<p>Those are nice scores. What about extracurriculars?? My gpa is (17 out of 20)</p>
<p>I have some community work, lots of sports, i had guitar and drum lessons for years, and i had english classes on British Council for years aswell.
Mine is 19 (around that).</p>
<p>well your strong point is your subject tests and your gpa. what i your first choice from those colleges??</p>
<p>MIT, obviously 
I plan to major in Physics. What about you?</p>
<p>My dream has always been economics in Harvard. If I can get in there I would like business at Cornell. You are applying to big universities (HYPM), don’t you have some safeties??</p>
<p>My safety is staying in portugal, in IST 
Where are you from?</p>
<p>Good choice. If we are going that far to study it has to be in a good univeristy. I´m from Almada (near Lisbon), what about you?</p>
<p>Oeiras, also near Lisbon. Where did you do your SATs? Linho?</p>
<p>yes in the american school (linho). I was there in the november 5th maybe we were in the same testing room What did you take on that day?</p>
<p>I took the SAT. Will you attend the January sitting?</p>
<p>Yes, I´ll do some subjects to raise my chances. What about you? the list of unis you said are your final list?</p>
<p>Yep, those are the unis i’m going to apply to. I’ll be retaking the SAT… I really want a 800 in Math, because i know i can reach it (last time i got 1 wrong, silly mistake). I also want to raise my CR score and my essay (i got an 8 last time… no idea what happened there). Which subject tests are you taking?</p>
