<p>Hey guys, I was just wondering which schools I should apply to, and which ones I have a good chance of getting into.</p>

<p>SAT Is) first time, no study. not too shabby luckily enough =)</p>

<p>2360: CR 800/ M 760 / W 800 (MC 76/80 : E 12)</p>

<p>I got a nosebleed while I was taking the math section, so i wasted a lot of time getting tissues. Also, I couldn’t use my calculator because both of my hands were soaked with blood and I was using one hand to apply pressure to my nose = (</p>

<p>SAT IIs) </p>

<p>World History 800</p>

<p>US 780 (should have studied)</p>

<p>Math I 790 (always mess up on standardized math exams)</p>

<p>Biology M 760 (I wasn’t taking AP Bio and I grossly underestimated the difficulty of the exam, so i didn’t bother to study too hard; thus my low score)</p>

<p>will be taking Math II, Chem, Bio again, and possibly Spanish?</p>

<p>ACTs)</p>

<p>34</p>

<p>M 35/ S 35 / R 34 / E 33 (ouch =( ) / Essay 11</p>

<p>was gonna take English Lit but since i’m in Cleveland all summer, working 1.5 months 8 - 5, I wouldn’t have been able to handle the summerwork</p>

<p>& then a bunch of random extracurriculars and awards (Harvard Book Award, Varsity Tennis, etc).</p>

<p>I’m an Asian (Indian) male from Massachusetts.</p>

<p>I was pleased with my SAT I score… but if only i hadn’t gotten that nosebleed! Two questions!!! Especially since math is the easiest section to get an 800 on =(. </p>

<p>SAT IIs and ACTs need some work, i’m debating retaking them (especially Bio).</p>

<p>So, what do you guys think? Keep in mind that I do not have my permanent resident status, so i’ll be applying as a foreign resident, although I’ve lived here for the past 10 years (due to incompetent lawyers). What should my safeties be, my reaches, and then my bread and butters? I’m not ■■■■■■■■, anyone who looks through CC will see many people with better transcripts I am sure.</p>

<p>Thank you once again</p>

<p>What the heck.
Deep breath. Do not retake any of those tests. A 33 on one section? Give me a break, youre fine.
I can’t recommend schools because I don’t know what you are interested in, but i would say you have a solid chance anywhere you choose.</p>

<p>

I LOL 'd</p>

5

<p>apply anywhere that i am not lol. I feel like your mention of your harvard book award implies a want to go there. My suggestion, go to Harvard.</p>

<p>@hahahaha: in retrospect, it does seem pretty funny. i was ****ED on test day though</p>

<p>blasiankid/riceowl: alright, thanks. do you guys have any good ideas for safeties? My reaches will probably be the Ivy League/good Liberal Arts schools, but I’m not sure what will constitute a good safety that I’m guaranteed to get into. Umass?</p>

7

<p>apparently P I S S E D is a bad word?</p>

8

<p>Yes. I recognize that so many teens use it as a description of anger they don’t realize how it appears to others, but it really isn’t appropriate for writing or adult conversation.</p>

<p>If you are interested, see the Wikipedia entry for “Seven Dirty Words.”</p>

<p>Alright, thanks for letting me know. I’ll be sure not to use that in any of my interviews then ;)</p>

10

<p>I think you have a good shot.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t retake the tests. Look into all of the schools and pick about 6 to 7 iffy schools like ivies and 6 to 7 schools that have about 30-50 admit rate. Best of luck to you.</p>
