How would a 480 CR look on a MIT or Stanford application?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I’m going to take the ACT and probably do better on the reading part and earn a better composite as well. On more thing, I’ll be in the international pool. Are my chances completely gone?</p>

2

<p>I hate to say it, but unless you have won international math/science awards I doubt you will be admitted with a 480 CR.</p>

<p>Work HARD on that ACT</p>

3

<p>one score on one subsection for the sat for an international student wont kill you.</p>

4

<p>a 480 would ruin your chances…</p>

5

<p>it won’t kill, but it would injure quite a bit. Some guy got in MIT with like a 4x0,5x0,4x0 a few years back, I think</p>

<p>Don’t listen to supereagle10, a 480 will KILL your application for Stanford. Even for MIT, 480 is death. Unless you show serious improvement like 700+ for stanford and 600+ for MIT and serious Math/Science prowess, you got no chance.</p>

<p>I have to agree. I looked through the OP’s old posts and he seems to have lived in America for a number of years. So, lack of English exposure is definitely not the problem here. The OP doesn’t seem particularly outstanding, has terrible CR, and is international. And needs FA? Uhm…</p>

<p>One section on the SAT won’t kill you, but that’s like if you got a 650 or something.
Work HARD man</p>
