</ul>

<p>SAT scores:
1940 (first time)
Verbal-680 Math- 620 Writing- 640, I didn't study the first time, I got a tutor for when I take it in October so I'm hoping for about 200 points greater.
Sat II 2C: 720. </p>

<p>Haven't taken ACT or the other two SAT II's yet.</p>

<p>my dd had very similar stats on SAT and SAT II. EC were orchestra, band and animal rescue work which she'd done since she was small - family involved.</p>

<p>She was admitted with merit award. She was admitted as well to Fordham, Rutgers and a much of other schools. She absolutely loved Wooster above all of them. It's a gorgeous school, and kids seemed so happy. When you visit you are allowed into the regular classes, so you're not seeing just hand picked students and teachers.
I think you'd be admitted to the school, and many others on your own merit, no matter your background or gender. Adding in being Costa Rican could be a big boost at some schools that have not gotten as many kids from different backgrounds as they'd like. Lots of great mid-west schools would welcome someone from east or west coast. Just go for the school that meets your needs best, not the name and status!</p>
