<p>I've only recently heard about it, but it seems to be really interesting :)
So what kind of careers do people pursue after graduating from SFS? What is the student body usually like? Anything I should know before I decided to apply to SFS or the college? </p>

<p>Here are my stats: </p>

<p>Both Chinese and English are technically my "second" languages... long story. </p>

<p>SAT: 2290. Math: 730, CR: 800 WR: 760
SATIIs: Chinese 800, US history: (projected 750+), Math2C i'm retaking because our school actually did NOT teach us stuff that was on the exam at all! 1st time: 650 (projected). </p>

<p><em>I'm not taking AP Spanish, though my school does offer it, because it wouldn't fit in my schedule. Plus, barely anybody passes the AP test as the program keeps on switching teachers.</em> </p>

<p>APs: APEC (5). My other scores haven't come out yet, but these are projected: AP Chinese (5), APUSH (5) APEL (4 or 5) APBio (3 or 4, 5 if i'm super lucky and wowed collegeboard with my fascinating diagrams :P) </p>

<p>ECs:

<p>Solid chances I say... people say SFS is more competitive than the other school, but there are no statistics to back that up... it's a great problem and draws some of the best students from around the world... most SFS kids pursue careers in government, financial services, and not-for-profit fields.</p>

<p>Math Level 2 isn't that much harder than SAT I Math, so you should be fine, don't over stress and the curve is generous.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
