<p>I still think you need to add Auburn…</p>
<p>Did you look at the links that I posted.</p>
<p>If your parents like UAH, they’ll also like Auburn. Auburn would be a match, not a safety. However, if you applied very soon, your chances are much better.</p>
<p>Forget about UNC-CH. Your stats won’t be accepted there.</p>
<p>I’m glad you’re coming up with a more realistic list - with a few reaches, a few matches, and a safety. :)</p>
<p>Best to you… :)</p>
<p>I want to join the other parents in recommending that you add some true safeties – not schools that would be safe if they would just overlook your 11th grade transcript and the fact that your SAT’s are not in their range. Safeties where students with statistics like yours have a better than 50% chance of acceptance. Real safeties where even if there is no letter, no excuses, no improvement in SAT’s, you will be accepted. You can always work as hard as you’re working this year once you get there and transfer to a more prestigious school. Students at US colleges transfer all the time and it is not looked down on.</p>
<p>My other suggestion is, get off College Confidential and start studying to retake the SAT. Put some time into taking practice tests. If SAT tutoring is available, go for it. If you can improve your SAT’s, you will have more options.</p>
<p>I think the OP mentioned that he or she was going to be taking the SAT for the third time this month.</p>
<p>OP, you said you retook the test on the 10th in another post. What happened with that retake?</p>
<p>I think it went well and I hoping a 1800 - 2000 .</p>
<p>SAT result from the 10th won’t be out until around the 28th of this month.</p>
<p>29th actually . And I said I am hoping for a 1800-2000 . </p>
<p>Pray for me people :)</p>
<p>Oh, I thought all those standardized tests were on the computer now.</p>
<p>I’ll write your letter for you. I can have it all ready to show you in a matter of hours. First, you need to be more specific in the directions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You have to be kidding me. :O</p>
<p>Oh this should be fun…two individuals with colorful post histories together on the same thread. I suggest we all sit back and let Leah and Priyanka work it out.</p>
<p>I am beginning to doubt if Priyanka’s intentions are honorable myself, starting 15 threads in such a short period of time!</p>
<p>I suspect Priyanka thinks the right “letter” (or perhaps a bribe to the right person?) will open magic doors.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I take it that Leah is a ■■■■■. Or, it certainly appears that way from reading some of her other threads.</p>
<p>OP, what happened with the SATs?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>These are excuses…not reasons (except perhaps your grandmother’s death). The bottom line is that many aspiring college students have illnesses and family events that happen during their high school careers…and their grades do NOT suffer.</p>
<p>Please be honest in your letter…and do not put in excuses for doing poorly in a year. The colleges will see right through that kind of thing and in the end it will not help you.</p>
<p>I got 1850 650M 600CR 600CW</p>
<p>That’s looking a lot better! Those scores will improve your chances.</p>
