Hello, I am an international applicant FOR FALL 2009. here is my characteristicS

I just took the SAT I on december 6, pfff I my first SAT ever and also the first real exam in english I have never taken. As you you guess, It was a disaster, my scores are below

CR 400
Math 510
Writing 470
total 1380/2400

The problem is that It is too late to take another SAT I because on January I plan to take 3 SAT subjects (MATH CHEMISTRY AND FRENCH) besides the IBT TOEFL in order to complete my application process-I have no choice because of the deadline. In another hand
in High school (graduated last JULY 08)

Average: (French system) 13.6/20 which is pretty good
Rank: 1/49 - top 5 student overall.
Good recommenders from FRENCH TEACHER AND MATHEMATIC TEACHER
