<p>I you go to Exeter, which I think is number 1 in NH, and you've done that well, I think you're in.</p>

5

<p>Nope. I go to Hollis Brookline. We're ahead of Exeter.</p>

6

<p>have you tried the SAT?</p>

<p>At BC you hand in 1) SAT I and three SAT III, or 2) The ACT</p>

<p>27 is good enough I think. Essays will be important. . .you got the ECs and the Grades. I think you're in.</p>

<p>hey, this is off topic, but whered you go to NYLF...i went two years ago to the medicine one at georgetown</p>

10

<p>ooo i attended NYLF in San Jose , CA. It was so awesome!</p>

11

<p>yeah, dc was amazing...i loved the campus, and i wanted to apply there, but my 30 ACT and 1340 SAT are quite possibly in the 10th percentile there, so i dont think im gonna apply anymore</p>

12

<p>I stayed local and went to Babson College in Waltham, Mass.</p>

13

<p>sat908, dont worry about test scores, just apply anyway, what do u have to lose?</p>

<p>your scores are scary... almost the same as mine =)</p>

<p>1350SAT, 30ACT lol</p>

14

<p>YAY NYLF!!!!! I went to the medical one in Berkeley, it was awsome!!!! I was so glad I went, I wrote an awsome essay about it too. I made the best friends over the summer, seriously if you ppl are invited to attend a forum, go. Its expensive, I know, but wow what an experience</p>

15

<p>yeah, it really is worth it...you know i just found out that quite possibly the most intelligent, hardest working student that came through our school (small private school-unless they lied to me, its the only private school in the country(besides exeter and andover) with 10% of their students as nat. merit semi-finalists, me included) only got a 1300 something on his SAT...that just proves that the SAT is by far a horrible test in terms of intelligence level...damn collegeboard...whoever came up with the test is a complete jackass...sry for the rant, i just couldnt believe he only got a 13--</p>
