General Comments: This just goes to show you that you dont need great SAT scores to get into really competiive schools. My scores are really average, but I was determined to get into NU and some other schools. I also got into Georegtown after being deferred, Brandeis, and Fordham. I got waitlisted at Columbia and Dartmouth and I got a guaranted transfer from Cornell ( so i can go next year if i wanna.) Now im waiting on Emory (my #1 choice.) Congtas to everyone else that got in and good luck to everyone else…i am living proof that scores arent everything.</p>
