3

<p>really tensed. just want 1 acceptance out of the ones left. already acceptd uiuc and rejected texas. :(</p>

4

<p>except emory - i really dont want to go there. it’s really sad!</p>

5

<p>Are you applying for financial aid?</p>

6

<p>no… no fin aid</p>

7

<p>Good overall stats.
I think you’re definitely in at emory and boston. UCLA too, maybe! Hard to say about the other colleges though. Personally, I don’t know much about them.
You should look for some safeties :)</p>

8

<p>im dying for UCLA, hope i get through. the results should be ou on the 18th right?</p>

9

<p>Hey. I’m applying to similar places. I’m from Bombay too. And I have more or less the same stats as well.</p>

<p>I also got into UIUC and rejected from UTexas. But I also got into Indiana Business and USC Business.</p>

<p>Personally, I think NYU Stern would be difficult. You should get into Emory and UMich. Not too sure about the others.</p>

10

<p>me too. got through UIUC, Babson(entrepreneurship), USC (marshall school of business) but rejected Ucla and texas</p>

11

<p>usc is a gr8 college. i would love going there too. but im just hoping for more. my stern essays were excellent and my sat2s might save me. :)</p>

12

<p>ur chances are below average. Ur cr score is pathetic. And no u wont get into:</p>

<p>3)UC-B - bsns
4)Uchicago - eco
6)Northwestern - eco
7)emory - eco
8)Boston college - bsns
9)cornell- applied eco and management ( school of agri and life sciences)
11) NYU stern - bsns eco</p>

<p>the rest of the places arn’t that great even if u get in. waste of money IMO.</p>

13

<p>Haha, cr_freak… Oh god, you’re just like me! (or the other way around) lol :D</p>

14

<p>lets wait for the decisions.! so that i cn *** ur reply! :D</p>

15

<p>Northwestern only takes the composite /1600 score & b/c of that, you’d be in about the bottom 25% to begin w/.</p>

<p>I also cannot see you getting into Cornell, UChicago, UCLA, or UCB. Sorry</p>

16

<p>NYU, boston, and UNC and Umich are still left. chances for them may be 35-40% I LIKE THESE COLLEGES!</p>

<p>As about cornell. ive applied to one of the most wierdest courses which is why my chances increase </p>

<p>but again NYU stern is my dream. i really want that.</p>

<p>P.s. 1) USC is a gr8 college with an even better party life.! i wouldnt mind going there too since i’m accepted. :)</p>

<p>2) im really hoping for my SAT2s to save me</p>

<p>In the whole scheme of things, SAT IIs are not a test that can save you if your SAT scores are not up to par (like yours, unfortunately). This is because you can play to your strengths and take SAT IIs that you know you will do well on. A 500-600 score is not really top tier material, which is a bummer because the SATs should theoretically be the easiest part of the application. Unlike your transcript and extracurriculars, they are the only academic indicator that you can take again… and again, which is something you should do. Simple stuff like vocab cards and knowing which questions are “hard” questions and which ones are “easy” can boost your score by over 100. Back in the 1600 SAT days when I took them, some quick studying and retaking had that effect on me. Nothing has changed.</p>

<p>cr<em>freak you are seriously *<strong><em>ed up. Nobody listen to this piece of *</em></strong>. It doesn’t matter what other people on here think. Use the official college sites to gauge your potential, follow your interests, be passionate about what you are doing and I hope that all of you get to where you want. Cr</em>freak on the other hand, I wish the worst for you. A person like you deserves no better.</p>

<p>cr_freak is such a freaking #$%%er. I guess he’s preparing for some competitive exam in India. That’s the reason I guess for his screwed up mentality. And just to tell you a guy from my older school got a score of 1830 on his SAT. Guess where he made it, MIT. He had designed an indigenous rocket when he was in 10th grade. So all the universities in the US have thousand times better admission policies than Indian ones. They look at your complete application; not just only some score. Another friend of mine got into Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, UIUC, U Mich as well. His score was 1990. </p>

<p>AND YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MID TO SAY THAT U MICH IS NOT WORTH IT!!</p>

<p>my friend had a 1910 score on the sat… She got into uiuc and university college london among others.</p>
