<p>possibly interested in architecture, journalsim or pre business, law....from very competetive school in south floridna</p>
<p>National Merit Corporation Special Scholarship finalist </p>
<p>I think that the admission rate for unhooked applicants with 1340 SATs is very,very low. Key is to figure out the one key thing that makes you special. No school cares about a laundry list of activities.</p>
<p>But if you love Williams (over Bates, Middlebury and so on), then take a shot. What do you have to lose?</p>
<p>I would apply with your ACT scores in lieu of SAT1/II. 1340 SAT puts you in the bottom quartile without a hook. An ACT of 32 puts you in the mid-range and would make you a stronger-looking applicant. Good luck!</p>
<p>his SAT scores might be a little low, but he has a 4.98 GPA to pull him back up... i think you should apply, anyway. you might want to take the advice about using the ACT scores rather than SAT, and make sure you focus your application on only a few of your ECs... good luck!</p>
<p>If you have the $60 (or a waiver), the time to fine tune your application, and you aren't foreclosed because your high school limits the number of applications you can send in, give it a shot using that ACT rather than the SAT I score. </p>
<p>In reading the recent CC reports of the ED decisions for Columbia, Dartmouth, and the University of Virginia, I have been struck by how the decisions seem to be all over the place if one just looks at the stats. There are lots of stories that we don't know lying under those statistics and results -- it's hard for us to know who you are from just looking at few statistics. Another thing that has interested me has been the number of applicants who profess to be amazed at having been admitted (and I get the idea that their ED applications were "Just following my dream" long shots in their minds). </p>
<p>Put your very best foot forward and you never know...</p>
<p>BUT before you go for it, let me say a very CC Parent thing: make sure you have appropriate safeties and matches and that you have given those applications the attention they need. Then let your Williams application be the frosting on your cake.</p>
<p>Yes you should! I'm a freshman here...my SAT scores were very similar to yours...I did well in SAT I...but my SAT II scores were terrible...took Literature and US History...and I had 1360. Everyone told me I was an idiot for applying, but it felt good to prove them wrong!! Your ECs and other scores look good. And I don't know if this mattered, but I did indicate on my application that I was interested in journalism/law and also had a strong essay (or so I think) as well as a 12 in my SAT I essay. Williams looks beyond your SATs. Go for it...and good luck:)</p>
