Hey guys I’ve been stalking this thread for some time now and since I recently got my SAT scores I’m wondering if you could chance me. I have a set list of schools that I’m applying to but I’m trying to decide if I should add CHC. I love the school but I don’t want to load my list with colleges that I might not get into.

Sex: Male
GPA: 3.75
SAT: 2100 ( CR 710, M 720, W 670) retaking in Jan hoping for 2150+
SAT II: Bio- M 650, Chem 690
Race: Black/Afro-Caribbean
Applying for FA; Yes.
Status: Currently I’m an International Student, however I’m moving to the US in Jan. So I guess when the ADCOM is reviewing my app I’ll be listed as a domestic student.
