<p>Other Info
*Important: My school is very poor and offers like, 2 AP courses so so far, I have taken 1 honors class, and I’m taking an AP class next year (haven’t taken any community college classes) </p>
<p>I can come up with something interesting in my app… brag sheet, inspiring essay… I’m a really goog writer and I have a lot of ambition to go to a good college with good financial aid. </p>
<p>I have a strong desire to fight against discrimination, and the hardhips immigrants face when coming to this country </p>
<p>I am an Senior this upcoming school year</p>
<p>ur SAT is too low</p>
<p>I know, it will definetily be a red flag, but do you think I can make up for it in other ways (I.e, great recs, superb essays, urm)</p>
<p>your SAT will be fine for washington with all the other stuff you have done…not the others do, sorry…</p>
<p>Sorry ur SATs are too low. Shoot a couple levels lower, maybe the Wake Forest/ NYU/ etc level.</p>
<p>so are my sat’s a cause for an AUTOMATIC rejection, then?</p>
<p>At Rice, Stanford, and Yale probably…you need at a minimum 1200 to be in consideration unless you have an incredible hook.</p>
<p>well hopefully they will be interested to know that I am a poor latino farmer, who is a first generation college student. that a good “hook”??</p>
<p>it will be considered fa sho, but scores r scores and your SAT is far too low. Apply anyways, maybe they we ll see past that disadvantage.</p>
<p>Trovador - aiming for Yale/Stanford/Rice/NYU are way too high of reaches for you. You may a first generation college student and an immigrant… but there is a good amount of poor immigrant first generation college students with 1400+s, 3.85+, and good extracurriculars (i am one of them). you simply dont match up or compare SCORE wise against these other people. Also, you say your a very good writer… but your 520 SAT2 seems to say otherwise.</p>
<p>Just apply, and see. You never know…</p>
