<p>my description of myself:
i am very math/science orientated.... as you can see from my low verbal and economic scores.</p>
<p>here are the lists of the colleges im applying to.... wut are my chances???</p>
<p>1st choices: Caltech, MIT, Harvey Mudd
2nd choices: U of Michigan- Ann Arbor, U Texas- Austin
Safe choices: Illinois tech, Clarkson U</p>
<p>i may not be thai, but i say retake your SATS and try to up your verbal/writing. alternatively you could score extremely well for your TOEFL to show that your comprehension level is just about right. do try to emphasize your interest in maths and swimming when applying.</p>
<p>i wrote a 500-word essay on swimming... i think that should be emphasizing enough haha</p>
<p>besides from that, do you think 267 is sufficient for such top-notch universities?</p>
<p>pm-ed you.</p>
<p>MIT said you can replace SAT with the toefl....toefl of 267 is an ok score for them....anything above 260 is fair enuf...So no, don't retake ur SAT...</p>
<p>ahh ok man... thx 4 ure comment</p>
