<p>Who else is coming to this party?</p>
<p>unfortunately i'm joining the party. :</p>
<p>me!! Goddamn you, junior winter (and spring).
Actually, I probably won't be coming back on CC, this was just a way to distract myself until the decision...
Cheers...</p>
<p>730/730/770. Rejected outright.</p>
<p>Can you re apply for RD if you are rejected?</p>
<p>No. 10 char</p>
<p>why wouldnt you be able to if you have new test scores and such to present?</p>
<p>It's just what colleges do. That's what the difference between reject and defer is.</p>
<p>thats understandable but when you get deferred you wouldnt have to pay the fee again, if you were rejected and decide to re apply you would have to re pay the fee?</p>
<p>If you get rejected, you can't re-apply for the same term;this is universally true. Like Amadeuic said: it's the difference between rejected and deferred.</p>
<p>800/790/760 taken once</p>
<p>rejected cas.
i was at least hoping for a deferral...</p>
<p>1600 rejected. ********</p>
<p>test scores really aren't a shoo-in these days</p>
<p>back in the day, i had a 1560/1600, national merit, 3 sat2 800s (and a 760), and 3 AP 5's</p>
<p>and got deferred (and ultimately waitlisted) from mit early</p>
<p>wow meili, that's ridiculous.
and wow wikee, that's even more ridiculous.</p>
<p>750/800/760. deferred. ill join the party.</p>
<p>but seriously, im sure most of us who posted on this thread have good EC's too.
i simply dont understand. the dartmouth ED thread showed the same trend.</p>
<p>2350/1570 and got rejected from cas... ouch.</p>
<p>^^ Maybe you accidentally mentioned that you liked Princeton's basketball team more than Penn's</p>
<p>yo, 2260/1510 and legacy (its only ph. d though.. not undergrad) cas deferred!</p>
<p>Colleges have their reasons for occasionally rejecting outstandingly qualified applicants. Brown did this often in the early 70's, when it was first trying to solidify its name as a great school, in order to convince people that it was no longer "easy." </p>
<p>At Penn, Columbia and Dartmouth - the three schools where I've seen this trend recently - I don't think it has to do with any of that. It simply appears as though a new set of admissions criteria has emerged. Each school knows that it can easily achieve its 680-770 middle range of SATs if it wants to. Now, they're looking for the most INTERESTING applicants. Sometimes, this means taking the girl with the 2100 who was a finalist in some extra curricular contest than the guy with the 2340 who never left his room.</p>
<p>750/790 ..... Deferred</p>
<p>Too tired to think of other things now. Three other friends of mine got accepted, one to Nursing, two to SEAS. Another one who got 2380/1590 was rejected.</p>
<p>What's this correlation between high SAT scores and no life people think exists? Did it ever cross your minds that someone could actually have the aptitude to do well on this test?</p>
