<p>Good enough to apply, with a reasonable chance of acceptance.</p>

3

<p>You should try to raise your SAT IIs- they're a little low.</p>

4

<p>Why is your class rank a question mark?</p>

<p>Someone told me that those applying to SFS are most competitive if they have extracurriculars related to their intended major. Do you have any of that?</p>

5

<p>Yearbookies unite!</p>

<p>your SATs are a little low looking at the EA acceptees (but supposedly EA is a little more competitive)..but you have a high GPA and lots of ECs..So you never know!</p>

<p>History at SFS huh? That's pretty cool..I haven't talked to many people who are applying with that major (in fact, I wasn't even very sure what it entailed until I just now looked it up) sounds interesting</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>My school does not rank</p>

7

<p>I wrote my first essay on Haiti and what it means to me and my second essay(SFS) was on how to deal with the problems in Haiti. Did I use this topic too much or did it just show my love for my country?</p>

<p>It's probably ok. I tried to make sure that nothing overlapped in my application..</p>

<p>I knew my Yearbook teacher was going to write about Yearbook, so I didn't write about that. I got a second recommendation from my old math teacher about our top ranked tutoring center, so I didn't talk about that. So I made sure each and every thing expressed something different about me.</p>

<p>As long as the Haiti one was personal and well expressed and the SFS one followed it's criterion, it shouldn't matter.</p>
