<p>Your IB grades need to go up…a lot.
As I don’t know your SATs yet, I can’t tell much.
At least aim for 666 for HL subjects.</p>

<p>From my impression of your English B grade, I think you MUST take TOEFL.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m planning on taking the TOEFL this August.</p>

<p>My grades are ****, got lazy I think, but my grades for fall semester last year were something like:</p>

<p>Biology SL - 3
History HL - 6 (History SL - 7)
Math Studies SL - 7
Danish A1 HL - 6
English B HL - 4
Spanish ab. SL - 7</p>

<p>I think I can manage to raise my Biology grade to 4, maybe 5, my Danish to 7 easily and my Enlish to 5, and 6 if I’m lucky enough.</p>

<p>…A slip in the grades is not that nice. I think you might have a hard time getting to Williams, but your foreign language capabilities seem astounding to me. Perhaps you should focus on that in your essays.</p>

<p>Try doing something interesting during the summer/school about languages. For example, you might want to try starting a class to teach younger students about these langauges?</p>
