4800 Club

<p>4590 or 4630 if combined score. I guess I just have another EC now lol. 4600 club? I could be in a lot of clubs like. llike the 1200 club or the 1300 club etc. up till the 4600 club. wow lol</p>

<p>when i was a senior in h.s. a kid one year below us got a 1600...many people thought it was a flook. So to prove people wrong he took the sats again and got another 1600. then he took 4 SATIIs and scored 800 on all of them...btw he ended up #1 in his class (although not valedictorian because at my school the sr class votes for their val out of the top 20 students)...his ECs very decent but nothing stellar.</p>

<p>however I recently found out that he got rejected from HYPS but he did get into MIT.</p>

<p>so i guess he could either be in the 4800 club or the 6400 club if you count both his SATI, lol.</p>

<p>This thread is sooo elitist!! :XD</p>

<p>do you know if a 4090 will get me into UCs? what's the lowest you can get to be accepted into a UC?</p>

A 4000 didn't cut it for lots of people at the most selective colleges, and I doubt a 4800 will be any different

<p>Really? How many people got rejected with a 4000 from the most selective colleges?</p>

Val + 4800 = 75% chance @HYP (just a guess)

<p>See the other thread in the My Chances forum. Even with gross overestimations of rejections of perfect scores, chances come out to at least 83%, and that's without any considerations for ECs, recs, etc... Decent ones improve you to over 90%.</p>

<p>2400 + 3*800 para mi ;) it was a tough going</p>

<p>tetra how did you get 83% as a stat?</p>

<p>"valedictorian because at my school the sr class votes for their val out of the top 20 students"
Wow, what a stupid idea. Turns about the highest academic honor into a popularity contest.</p>

<p>"Even with gross overestimations of rejections of perfect scores, chances come out to at least 83%, and that's without any considerations for ECs, recs, etc... Decent ones improve you to over 90%."</p>

<p>I had 4000 (or 4800, if you will), and I got rejected from MIT, waitlisted at Princeton & Harvard, accepted at Cornell, Stanford, and Caltech.</p>

<p>Looks like 50% for me...</p>

<p>I have a 4430. Damn English sections of the SAT I.</p>

<p>800 M, 640 CR, 660W
800 Math IIC
790 Physics
740 Bio M (as a frosh)</p>

<p>Based on info in the other forum, we used the chances of a val not getting in as 2/3 (from Brown's info), the chances of a perfect SAT score not getting in about 1/2 (which is true at Harvard? I'll try to look it up concretely) and the chance of not getting in with 3 perfect SAT IIs as 1/2. The chances altogether of not gettin in end up being 2/(12)=1/6 = 16.666%, making the odds of getting in 83.333%. The calculation is of course flawed since the events aren't really independent, but eh, I'm going for a very rough estimate.</p>

<p>Right, after the process is done you're 100% at schools you got in and 0% at schools you didn't. I'm just going for an estimate. It's impossible to determine individual cases. You never know what could happen. Maybe an adcom was biased against you for some reason. Maybe a teacher rec ended up worse than it should have for no good reason... Probability can't account for that.</p>

<p>2180+2290= 4470 :-/</p>

<p>My brother got a 4675 (had to scale up the 1570 from the old SAT), is a math genius, but got rejected from MIT, Princeton, Duke, and Cal Tech. He's at University of Chicago now.</p>

<p>2230+800/790/710=4530. Blah.</p>

<p>Let's just hope scores really aren't everything. I'm applying to U Florida, Florida Tech, Ga Tech, Princeton, and MIT.</p>

<p>4680 for me. Hmmm.</p>
