<p>anyone at alll?</p>

3

<p>In. Starting picking out your dorm assignment</p>

4

<p>hahaha really?</p>

5

<p>I would say so as well. There is nothing that is terribly unique, as many applicants do the same ECs you listed. What is good is that you are doing the SFS Science major. That will help a lot, since I don’t feel as though that is as competitive as International Politics or some of the others. I would say you have a very good chance (of course, nothing is a guarantee).</p>

6

<p>match for sure</p>

7

<p>thanks exciting to hear…anyone know Stats of other acceptances to SFS?</p>

8

<p>bumpppppppppp…anyone else have opinions?</p>

9

<p>how competitive is your school (ie does it send many people to top school every year?)
if it’s a no-name school it’ll be a bit harder to get in, although you’d still probably make it.
if you’re #1 in a competitive school with all a’s you’re pretty much set</p>

10

<p>Not incredibly competitive…we send a student or two to top schools every couple years. The best school this past year was WUSTL. Two years ago we had 2 to Penn and 1 to Harvard. Next year we will probably have 2-3 to “TOP” schools but everyone else isn’t exactly stupid either.</p>

11

<p>bumppppppp</p>

12

<p>They recommend a language as one of the three subject tests. Maybe you want to take one?</p>

<p>Anyway, I think you have a great chance!</p>

13

<p>I wouldn’t do soo well. I’ve taken Spanish for 4 years but its stupid the way they “teach” in school.</p>

14

<p>bumpppppppppppppp</p>

15

<p>Your stats are amazing, so you really shouldn’t be too worried about the numbers. Work on writing some good essays. And if Spanish at your school is taught that badly, why don’t you try to self-study it a little on the side? You could pick up some books in Spanish or translate song lyrics, etc.</p>

16

<p>Your chances look good. Real good.</p>

17

<p>In. Don’t bother taking the Spanish SAT II. I didn’t take it either, and got in EA this year. You’re in though.</p>

18

<p>Can you PM me ur stats Akajjred?</p>
