<p>Hello all, I know how annoying this might be to some but I'm desperate so please help me?</p>
<p>So I am a Nepalese senior (US Permanent Resident) doing the IBDP in Nepal. Since I'm a permanent Resident, Smith is test optional for me. However I plan to send in my SAT scores as well. Here are a few things about me:</p>
<p>SAT:
CR:650
Math: 600
Writing: 700
(essay of 10)
Total: 1950</p>
<p>IB subjects:
Math SL
Physics SL
Spanish ab initio
English Lang and Lit HL
Economics HL
Social and Cultural Anthropology (SCA) HL</p>
<p>For my IB first year finals (11th grade finals) I got a score of 34 out of 42 which is in the top 5% of my class.
However, my IB 2nd year (12th grade) midterm results were extremely better: 37 out of 42 which is actually in the top 3% of my class. However my school doesn't rank since students take different subjects and all of that.
So in my midterms I got a 6 in all my subjects except for SCA in which I got a 7 out of 7. </p>
<p>Personal essay: Still working on it but I'd give it around a 7 to 9 out of 10.
Letter of Recs: Should be amazing since all the teachers I've requested love me. ( I wont know though, I've waived my right)
Supplementary: Should be good too.</p>

<p>Please tell me what you think about my profile. I plan on applying ED1 to Smith and if I could get an idea of what you guys might think, that'd be great!
To all that take the time to read through this post and give honest opinions, I really thank you! As you can see, my SAT scores aren't all that great so I'm extremely worried. I swear though, this post is genuine so please do help!</p>
<p><em>I also apologize for any grammatical errors I may have made on this post</em></p>
<p>Thankyou in advance!</p>
I plan on applying ED1 to Smith so I’d really appreciate if someone gave me honest feedback here ._.</p>
</p>
Applying ED in itself is a hook of sorts as well (: </p>
