<p>I think the paragraph would apply to both transfers and freshmen admissions - though you can just email the admissions people if you aren’t sure.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley does not allow deferment of enrollment for NS and has stated this in replies to numerous inquiries sent to its admission office by Singaporeans.</p>
<p>most UC schools don’t allow deferment actually. UCLA’s another one.</p>
<p>cornell might be a safety school for rafflesians, but it’s certainly not for rando singaporean applicants who may or may not have done “decently” for their O-levels</p>

<p>you talk as though you’re some big shot. are you from harvard ? or yale ?</p>
<p>does that have anything to do with the truth of his statement?</p>
<p>i have seen students with Bs and Cs in GCE-A levels get into brown solely through CCA and other achievements so yeah i am challenging the truth of his statement.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I doubt that’s the case.</p>
<p>believe me, or don’t, makes no difference to me. i’ve seen his final A level cert, his predicted grades, basically the whole package that he sent over. and i saw his acceptance letter from brown. so unless he did his A levels again in 3 months, i don’t see any other explanation. national sprinter, 19L1R5 for Os, BCCC for As.</p>
<p>fyi i meant student, as in ONE.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Okay, the key here is that he is a national sprinter - he is in all probability a recruited athlete for Brown. This changes the game completely, especially if the Track and Field coach has influence over the admissions process. Recruited athletes at some universities are judged on quite different (and much more lenient) academic standards. A normal person with a standard CCA profile and that sort of grades? No chance.</p>
<p>Being a national athlete (even in a small country like Singapore) is at least as good as (if not better than) getting a gold or a Top 5 in one of the national science Olympiads.</p>
<p>hello quick question:
for common app do we send off the midyr report along with the finalyr report??</p>
<p>hey guys i need somee help here. i did the math II subject test in june and unfortunately for me i was sick on that day. i ended up with a crappy 580 score. i got my october scores back and i got 750. the rest of my app is in order to ED to dartmouth, with a 2230 SAT as well (760 math) as well as a 6 in IB Math SL. dartmouth as well as most colleges’ policy is only to look at the highest score. this will not hurt me right guys? some reassurance please 
they would probably realize i really had a bad day right? thanks</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Funny how people like to obsess over the exception to the norm and ignore the norm. Why do I hear the familiar sound of straws being grasped at?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>whatever makes you happy, chump.</p>
<p>can some1 help me plzzz</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>sure, mr shoo-in-for-brown</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well doesn’t Dartmouth accept Score Choice? You can just choose not to send your 580 SAT II Math over.</p>
<p>If you got 760 math for SAT I and 750 for Math 2, then it shouldn’t be a problem. Anyway I think Dartmouth’s policy is to look at your highest scores only, so you can trust that even if they don’t use Score Choice?</p>
<p>ok i just thought they might be like *** and defer me or something for that reason. i mean they should def. get atleast 1 or 2 apps with scores like these where the applicant was sick or smthg. and no guys, all these maather ivy leagues dont allow score choice. only harvard i think. nabe.</p>
