<p><em>bump</em></p>
<p>so is it a bad decision to take Chinese?</p>
<p>no the more 800s the merrier</p>
<p>Your Asian...more is expected of you.</p>
<p>about the caltech thing...i dont want to be a jerk, but i honestly think applying would be a waste of money for you unless you think you can get high SAT2s and your SAT 2100~2200+...sorry.</p>
<p>Don't Be sorry, all i'm looking for isTruths about my status, thx for the honest advices.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that i can get 700+ to 800 on Chinese SAT II</p>
<p>so it DOES worth it to take the Chinese SAT II if i can get a nice score?</p>
<p>I'll work on my SAT and SAT II during summer :)</p>
<p>No, don't take the Chinese Sat II. If you're Chinese, it's expected that you would be fluent in, well, Chinese...If you get your scores up a little I think you would get into Binghamton, although it's becoming more selective...you should check out some of the other SUNY schools</p>
<p>Wang. Take the chinese SAT II. Colleges want to know that you actually know how to speak the language. Anyway, I took a practice one and finished in 20 min and got a perfect paper. You can do that too. The more 800s the merrier</p>
<p>I decide to Take Chinese, and try to ED to NYU depending on my 2nd SAT Score.</p>
<p>Btw, Do i still need to take Writing in SAT II? ( since they already include a writing section in SAT )</p>
<p>also, i've been playing volleyball for 3 years and was the manager for 1 girl season, would it affect my admission if i stopped joining V.B. and joined tennis instead?</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>This might be stereotypical, but I always thought that recent immigrants from Asia are strong in math, even if their english might be a little behind.</p>
<p>Some of us are, but just b/c alot of countries stress math more than U.S., doesnt mean that every asian is good @ math.</p>
<p>yes...i am WEAK @ english....</p>
