<p>i came to new york (from south korea) three years ago starting as a freshman in extremely rigorous high school in Long Island (of around 300 seniors last year, 3 got in to harvard, 4 princeton, 1 stanford,and 4 students got national awards given to 100 students in U.S.)</p>

<p>My main concern is SAT, because english is my second language, i SUCK at SAT especially critical reading part. I got 570 on CR and 660 on math and 570 on writing
I also did horribly on ACT , i believe i got 26 (i try not to think about my scores lol)
i took SAT IIs , bio i think i got 720 or 730 and U.S., i must retake it on november, im also going to take math IIC </p>

<p>After i took SAT for the first time, i was shocked so i started going to sat prep school,
i think i can pull up my CR score up to 650-680 (maximum) and hopefully over 700 on math, </p>

<p>my high school gpa is 3.77 (UW) and 3.82 (weighted)
last year, i only took ap bio (5), ap us (3), hrs pre-cal, physics, enlgish, etc
this year im taking ap psychology, ap macro, ap cal bc, ap chemistry, english </p>

<p>I LOVE reed college, evidently im planning on applying ED
so do i have a chance w/ 3.77 gpa and let say… 1310 sat ??? </p>

<p>sorry for asking this but i really need to know thx :)</p>

has this kind of purely statistical information. It shows
25th Percentile 75th Percentile
SAT Verbal 660 760
SAT Math 620 710
so your CR 570 verbal is a bit low but your 660 math is well in the middle. The class of 2010 was admitted with a weighted GPA of 3.978 so you’re not far below that. Your essays will weigh heavily. Reed is an unusual school, and fit is important. Being Korean is probably a hook. I think you have a chance, and if you’re sure about Reed, applying ED should help. Raising your verbal should help!</p>
