<p>^ What more help do you require? Many people have already given their opinions on what they think your chances are in your past thread. There’s also nothing anyone can really suggest for you to do to improve your chances since you have already sent in your application.</p>

<p>No chance with those scores. </p>

<p>You’re in the 12 percentile according to the SAT website for your 380s (that means 88 percent of the takers scored higher): <a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;

<p>380: 12 11 13 </p>

<p>No offense–I’m sure it has a lot to do with English being your second language. But there are many more foreigners with higher scores…</p>

<p>If you look at the middle 50% for Wash U, you’ve got quite some distance to go:</p>

<p>Critical reading: 670 - 750<br>
SAT Math: 700 - 780</p>

<p>This means that at least 75% of wash U students scored higher than you with two out of three sections alone.</p>

<p>well i aprecate your time and opinion…anyone else</p>

<p>lisedaton, why did you delete the comments left by others? They were criticisms, yes, but criticisms you needed to hear. It’s time to be honest with yourself, you have NO shot at gaining admission to Washington University. I don’t say this to be mean, I say this so that you can realistically evaluate your options, and maybe come up with a better plan for furthering your education.</p>

8

<p>april, she can’t delete comments by other posters, but this is a new thread. You’re probably thinking of the old one.</p>

9

<p>oh, ok. thanks 19382.</p>

10

<p>hey you all…!!! just wanted to tell you that i just met someone that got in ed with an sat of 1320 and she is not even international…
my sats are higher so i still have hope, i think optimisim is the correct word… lol…
good luck</p>

11

<p>That probably means she had a 1320 in Critical Reading and Math. Not a 1320 total.</p>

12

<p>wrong message people sorry… </p>

<p>anyways…good luck…everyone…</p>

13

<p>lisedaton, as your panamenian friend i have to tell u that no tienes ni el mas MINIMO chance en entrar a esta universidad ajajajjaa… and i think u are going to get in… so have faith… yo tu me inclino mas para la segunda opcion NE… oprq la vdd en Washu tus posiblidades son remotas…</p>

14

<p>keep your optimizen up… cuz no vas pa ningun lado mi ghermana… thats the spirit!</p>

15

<p>lisedaton, don’t let people on this post tell you that you have no chance. I go to WU and am here on full merit based scholarship and had numbers significantly lower than the mean numbers posted above and know countless others like me. </p>

<p>Also, I work in the admissions office on a volunteer basis and know Nanette Tourboni and several other AO’s very well and they would most likely say that people like you and myself being admitted is not a rare occurance. Just as people with perfect scores getting rejected is not a rare occurance either. Anyways just keep your hopes up and be encouraged.</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>heyy… well yess thanx… i think the same way… i think they are searching for talent and not for numbers… like my teacher always says numbers are cold and always the same but wht is worth is what you learn behind it… so… i hope i get in… thanxx</p>
