<p>anyone want to read my common application essay? if you do, reply and i’ll PM it.</p>
<p>btw, how lenient are they with low SAT scores for international applicants?</p>
<p>Go ahead and pm it here. About SAT’s, how low is low? If it has a 7 in front of it, IT IS NOT LOW!! :). Anything that’s a 650 or higher could be better, but won’t kill you. People have gotten in with lower scores, but not many people.</p>
<p>I will read
For SAT part, they will consider your special situation. Don’t worry.</p>
<p>i’ll look over it =)</p>
<p>I’ll read it to if you pm me.</p>
<p>I think their leniency with SAT scores depends on a few factors, including the applicant pool and your strengths. How common applicants from your country are is also important. After all, they want diversity. If English isn’t your first language, I think they are much more lenient.</p>
<p>okay, thanks. i have a 2050 composite score, which was the 2nd highest in my school :S </p>
<p>oh man, i’m so going to freak out the minute i send my app.</p>
<p>edit: is it worth taking the SAT again in jan?</p>
<p>Yes .</p>
<p>Yes, if you can improve your score.</p>
<p>Are you in US now? or an English-spoken country?
If more than 3 years, then your score is a little low. If only 1 year or something, then your score is pretty good.</p>

<p>i’m in a french/german/italian speaking country. (switzerland)</p>
<p>i really just need to get my head around the verbal section, and NOT answering the ones i don’t know coz they deduct points. 
lol.</p>
<p>Hmm I’m Argentine and got 800 in critical reading. I have never taken English classes; I just learned English by myself during the last 6 years. I haven’t lived in another country either; so I think it depends mostly on how much you read daily. Read all the English you can to prepare for your January test; literature is especially worthy, I reckon. Ah sorry, I don’t have time to read your essay right now.</p>
<p>^lol, no problem. yea, i read a lot and am getting good grades in AP eng lit, but i just HATE HATE HATE the stupid verbal section!!! i do well on all the practices and then go in and screw up. </p>
<p>wish me luck on the next one! </p>
<p>p.s. it kinda sucks that they care more about the verbal than the writing. lol, writing is so much easier.</p>
