<p>I think your SAT scores may make Pomona, CMC, USC , Berkeley and Chicago out of reach. But, I’d say you have a chance at the rest of them. That’s a lot of schools to apply to; you may want to consider narrowing your choices a bit. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s what I’d thought. The things that I’m worried about the most are my low SAT scores. I’m going to make sure to take the ACT though, because I’d have really high scores if I didn’t miss so many questions. Thanks!</p>

<p>First off, I can’t do manual labor, so I have higher chances of making it into Brown University. I’m sorry you’ve wasted your time trying to offend me, but it didn’t work. Oh, and the green is slightly off, so those aren’t the colors of my flag.</p>

<p>Muslim Student Association? Mashallah, may allah be with you… Im not familiar at all with muslim mexican brothers and sisters! subhanallah!</p>

<p>pay no heed to trashes of society… not inferring anything.</p>

<p>Actually, I’m not Muslim. But, I have very close friends who are and I want to learn as much as I can about other cultures. For that reason, I joined the association! Although I am of Christian faith, I still feel as if I learn something about myself by observing other faiths.</p>

<p>Sorry, I didn’t know! Still, may allah be with you! Its very wise really, trying to learn about other cultures in such a direct and immediate way! I salute you!</p>

<p>I can’t believe people on CC, a board that’s known for the higher intelligence of its members, would post racist trash like that…</p>

<p>But anyways. I can only really speak for Wesleyan, since I’m applying there too, and I’d say your ETCs are good, grades are decent, and SAT should definitely improve.</p>

<p>Maybe you should try to make your ETC list look less like a laundry list - highlight the things you’re really interested in/committed to.</p>
