Sorry, I should have worded that differently. I would apply to some schools with 75th around 164 and some 25ths around 164 (give or take a point or two). So, a reach for you would be Northwestern or Cornell. A safety might be IU or Ohio State.
hey! i live in Southie/work in the North End (by TD Garden)--took the exam this past January and did well but gonna retake over the summer to hopefully get another point or two above my previous test! Would love to study with you!
Update: I just graded it again with guessing, and I scored a 150. So I made 7 pointincrease, I guess that's something :) I only solved 1 question on LG :)
Also, there's some webinars talking with another non-native speaker Sage by the name of Nader. Under Resources go to the one called "Our 89 PointIncrease Story" to hear about him and three other former students' experiences.
