Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>who has the lowest SAT I score and still got accepted???</p>

2

<p>I was accepted with a 1390. My average sat II was 760.</p>

3

<p>I too was accepted with a 1390. My SAT IIs were lower than yours though - 740 M-Biology, 690 Lit, and 620 Writing. I'm not a recruit, legacy, or ethnic minority either.</p>

4

<p>Oh, you can get lower than that.</p>

5

<p>wt.f is going on
are we talking about the right college</p>

6

<p>I'm sure there are one or two with sub-1000 or at least sub-1100 SAT scores.</p>

7

<p>"are we talking about the right college" - Harvard College? The Ivy League undergraduate school?</p>

<p>...I'm sure there are people admitted with far lower scores than mine, most of whom I guess will be recruits, or those who's application made up for perhaps a poor test day.</p>

8

<p>Who cares? The fact remains that we all got into Harvard.</p>

9

<p>what about your grades and ec's?</p>

10

<p>deathhammer... not all of us. lol</p>

11

<p>I think someone posted a news article once about a basketball player with an 1180 (maybe 1280). Byerly?</p>

12

<p>entirely possible</p>

13

<p>i got a 650 on the math IIc :D :D</p>

14

<p>yea there is definitely at least 1 acceptee with a score lower than 1150, that stuff just happens.</p>

15

<p>statistically speaking, thats basically 1 out of 20000 people, which is ... basically zero chance. well all i know is that my hope just got crushed with a 1800 :(. even with really nice stats that i believe will stand out, this will surely be my downfall if dont get a better score next time.</p>

16

<p>a football player was recruited from my school with a 1250. Ranked 88/400. Everyone else that applied -- ranked 1,2,5 and 8 -- all rejected. One with a perfect 1600. </p>

<p>go figure</p>

17

<p>1390 isn't really bad at all since 1400 is 25 percentile. So 25% of people get below 1400. :|</p>

18

<p>i'm confused...isn't a score of 1350 in the 90th percentile across the U.S...if that is the case...wouldn't that be enough?</p>

19

<p>A 1350 is a very high score, considering only 10% of the nation scores higher than that. But a 1350 is a low score when you consider that over 75% of harvard admits do better than that. Paradox, my friend. Welcome to the world of College Admissions. ;)</p>

20

<p>question: how many times do most people take the SAT and do they only care about your highest score?</p>

<p>what do most people get their first try? I mean, if someone says they got a 1540, did they probably get that on their first attempt? Is getting a 1600 really unique if you have indeed, only written it once?</p>
