<p>i am a greek student and i am planning to apply to harvard,mit,stanford,chicago,columbia(my father studied there) next year.
my scores are: SAT I : Math 800, Reading 600, Writing 700 and SAT II : Math 1 800,Physics 800,Math 2 800.i havent taken the toefl yet but as far as i can see from the prep tests i will do excellent there(much more easy then the sat for a kid in greece)
Extracurriculars: 1st in the debate contest both last yer and this year.almost qualifying for the IMO in math(i hope they will be familiar with it becuz it is too tuff!!) same with IPHO in physics.constantly participating on the science and the math club,qualified for the aime, president of our unesco club,editor of our school magazine. Comunity service:two summers in red cross. Sports: basketball for 4 years
class rank:top 5% percent.school size 200.it annually sends 2-4 to harvard,mit,stanford,princeton,columbia,caltech.reccomandation letters: i am sure i can get excellent ones becuz everyone seems to like me..
do you believe that i have any chances getting in any of these:harvard,mit,stanford,chicago,columbia???? Iam pretty sure that most of them will reject me becuz of that 600. What do you think????</p>
<p>Have some confidence my friend. You look very good on paper. I would say go for any school out there and see what happens. Its very possible that your in at a number of those schools.One score won't ruin you. Good Luck.</p>
<p>i am not that confident! what should i do to improve???</p>
<p>If you are really worrying about the 600 can you retake the SAT in May or June? I have no idea how often they offer the SAT in Greece.</p>
<p>Your multiple 800s are so impressive that, with a high score on the TOEFL, schools may be willing to accept you with the 600 CR on the assumption that you will rapidly improve when studying full time in an English language curriculum.</p>
<p>you need to retake the SAT...</p>
<p>how much should i score to improve in the cr???? should i give any more subject tests or they just look at your 3 best??</p>
