<p>REC’s good…
essay pretty good…</p>
<p>I know my sat 1 score and extracurricular activities are weak… but please chance me…</p>
<p>i applied to tepper as an international</p>
<p>I don’t know what A/A means. You seem like an impressive applicant. If admissions made sense, I’d give you a 9/10, but because they’re frequently a bit random and mysterious, maybe a 7/10.</p>
<p>where were u rejected from???</p>
<p>ceroper: sorry about ambiguity… A/A meaning i got A in both first and second semester… is that clearer?</p>
<p>quag_mire: i got rejected from ucla… i thought i had pretty good chance for ucla… well maybe i was too arrogant… so now i’m really nervous…</p>
<p>how u got rejected from UCLA? did u ask for financial aid? i can’t believe UCLA would reject you…</p>
<p>noway… i would never ask for a financial aid… especially to uc’s… i’m already an international student… why would i want to lower my chance… </p>
<p>do u think i have chance for carnegie mellon tepper…?</p>
<p>sure man, but i guess ur SAT verbal is kinda low…I’d say you’d get in at Tepper for sure cuz ur international, and not asking for aid…i’ve heard they take a lotta internationals with relatively low verbal scores but high math scores</p>
<p>ya… that’s why i took toefl… to compensate my low verbal score…
i hope that’s true =) and thanx for paying attention to my thread</p>
<p>well i hope they kinda realize that i’m more math oriented kid who wanna major in business… cause i heard nowadays… business field requires intensive math skills.</p>
<p>anyways… i kinda have to wait little more… :)</p>
<p>I disagree that internationals are preferred over Citizens. In my opinion, the opposite is true. Tepper is trying to become more well-rounded and the high Math score thing only really works at CS (where a large % of accepted students had a 800 in Math). However, you have a chance depending on the amount of internationals applying and how the rest of your application is portrayed.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>anybody else…? bump…</p>
