<p>Does any1 think i have a resonable chance in RD- i mean know i have a disdvantage being Asian indian and…lotsa other factors…
Any thoughts would be nice…</p>

2

<p>wow your EC is great, Im jealous. Im not sure about your chance but definitely better than mine. by the way, howcome your SAT score is so low? It does not match your school academic performance considering you are from India.</p>

3

<p>i know i messed up on my CR...but do u think it would affect me since out of 1600 i gt like 1360..which im not very proud abt...:P</p>

4

<p>tho thanks Astudent...ill take that as a compliment:P</p>

5

<p>astudent has a point.
your sat scores are really low. i dont want to discourage you but 650 on the verbal (critical reading) isnt exactly a fab score.
try anyways.
besides your sat subject tests are limited to languages and history.
no science and math. this wont hurt your chances but variety would have helped.</p>

6

<p>low sat scores reflect badly on your school</p>

7

<p>but but but
your ec's are great and you have a fair shot.</p>

8

<p>thanks i mite just take my SAT 1 again in jan would that be too late?
and also our school doesnt prepare us for SAT tests it is done absolutely independantly.....in fact, do the schools in the US coach the students for these college admissions tests?</p>

9

<p>the last acceptable date for taking the sat is dec.</p>

10

<p>so jan would be tad too late rite?
sob sob lol.........</p>

11

<p>wow--great ECs. I would think being Indian helps...</p>

12

<p>Rocking EC's.....BTW, Dartmouth accepts Jan Scores.... I guess so... <a href="http://www.dartmouth.edu/apply/admissions/testing.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.dartmouth.edu/apply/admissions/testing.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

13

<p>thnks both of u.....some consolation for my SAT scores</p>

14

<p>why is everyone saying that the scores are so low?? 710, 710, 650 isn't really low at all... better than my scores and I got in...</p>

15

<p>oh really vanessa? thats gr8 to hear....wat r ur majors?</p>

16

<p>Vanessav you are from Montana and he is from India!! I said before, icy got outstanding EC, and he is very likely to get accepted. However, If he got 2200+ on his SAT he will have solid chances for any school he applies to! Also, the Indian pool is very competitive, a lot of applicants got very high math+verbal score. Spots are limited.</p>

17

<p>ummm correction Astudent.....im a she:P:P(but yea u wouldnt know neway from my login name):P
