<p>lol... obviously pasted from somewhere...</p>

7

<p>what do u mean pasted from somewhere else ... I personally have visited 5 of those colleges and my cousins go to the other 4 ... thats the only reason i listed them ... can u tell me my chances or not?</p>

8

<p>CAN anyone give me any type of opinions please? ...</p>

<p>Clearly you know that your test scores are a weakness. Check averages, if you're below the 75% as an unhooked Asian, chances are not good.</p>

10

<p>thanks for the reply ... but i didnt understand what u mean by unhooked asian??? ... if my chances seem bleak at all of those colleges should i not apply to any of them
and i tried looking for those "statistics and percentages" on the northwestern website i couldnt find any ... any ideas where i could search to find the "percentages" u said i had to be over like 75%?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

11

<p>By unhooked I mean not a recruited athlete, URM, development candidate or someone claiming a highly unusual EC. I don't know several of your schools, but your scores are low for Stanford, Duke, WUSL, Penn and Northwestern in BME. Really can't say on the rest. Just make sure you are in the 75% (in your major) for at least a couple of schools.</p>

12

<p>"Just make sure you are in the 75% (in your major) for at least a couple of schools."</p>

<p>srry i'm being stupid ... what do u mean 75% ... in what as in act score, or what? ... and where can i search that i couldnt find it on the main site for northwestern ... just google it?</p>

13

<p>Actually, call the schools for most recent scores because almost everything printed is two years off. You want to have GPA and SAT at the top quarter for admitted students for a secure shot.</p>

14

<p>It just looked really odd how you added "university" to everything and specified which campus and etc. It looked like it was pasted from some website.</p>

15

<p>would i be required to take SAT II if i wanna do engineering...at</p>

<p>u mich ann arbor:
u of i
U I C:
purdue:
madison:
northwesterN:</p>

<p>also at U I C i was thinking of applying for GPPA med or engineering ...
thanks</p>

16

<p>Excuse me but how did u do var tennis and var track at the same time?</p>

17

<p>Soccer Team, Tennis Team, Varsity Track Team, ........ i didnt do var track and tennis</p>

18

<p>Chances aren't great...SAT/ACT scores...</p>

19

<p>wait ... my chances in gettin into any of the schools are not great?</p>

20

<p>ACT is good, actually...you'll be in the middle 50% for most of the schools, with the exceptions of Duke, Stanford and UPenn. UMich - no problem. UWisconsin - no problem. Northwestern and WashU - slight reach. Stanford, UPenn, Duke - reach to large reach (UPenn in particular). idk much about the other schools. If it was me, I'd add one more safety, just in case.</p>

<p>Good luck, you'll be fine. All of these are great schools.</p>
