<p>Instead of posting MULTIPLE CHANCE THREADS (on most of the Ivy forums), might I suggest that you simply post one such “chance” in the “Chance Me” forum? People tend to get annoyed by this, and thus your “chances” of being “chanced” ARE somewhat diminished!</p>

<p>You look to be a solid candidate. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Sorry about that didnt know what, just joined the website.
Can you please give me the link to the chance me forum?</p>

5

<p>do you have to take TOFEL if your country is an english speaking country? like canada</p>

6

<p>holy! you were in the national u-19 squad? goodness gracious!</p>

<p>@misellwisell: “An applicant whose home language is not English and whose primary language of instruction has not been English for at least five years is required to take an English proficiency examination no later than December during the application process.”</p>

<p>If you live in Canada it sounds like you should be fine as long as you’re a native speaker of English and your high school taught primarily in English.</p>

<p>I’m a current Columbia student (class of ‘14) and I’m working on starting a company that provides application and essay counseling/advice, but I’m trying to freelance my services a bit before diving in. I’m planning on offering one on one skype conferences to evaluate candidates’ essays or applications/supplements. Contact me at <a href=“mailto:rcm2140@columbia.edu”>rcm2140@columbia.edu</a> for more info!</p>

<p>How can you take five SAT Subject Tests in one sitting?</p>

10

<p>I assume the intent was that each score was the result of only one sitting, not that all five were taken at once.</p>
