<p>Quick question...
I remember that at this Stanford meeting, I got a piece of paper that said they have a 12-13 (or something like that) percent acceptance rate for 30+ ACT scores. </p>
<p>Estimates (with some logical basis, and please explain your logical basis) for what the acceptance percentage for a 36 is?</p>
<p>Acceptance rate for ACT scores 30-36 is 9%.</p>
<p>Because acceptance rates for perfect scores on each section of the SAT is around 15% (rounded), one could assume that the admit rate for a 2400 would be 15+%, since there are less 2400s than individual 800s.</p>
<p>and since 36 = 2400 (more or less), assume the same.</p>
<p>Source: <a href=“Page Not Found : Stanford University”>Page Not Found : Stanford University;
<p>Since the admit rate is 18% for both SAT Writing and Reading 800… assuming not everyone score perfectly on all sections… could one assume that the admit rate is probably at least 25% for a perfect score?</p>
<p>^I was thinking that, but I didn’t want to be tooooo speculative.
so i just stuck with 15+. heh.</p>
<p>So… the acceptance rate for 2400 SAT is only about 1.5-2 times greater than the average rate?</p>
<p>^Even if that were true, it’s important to remember that many of these 2400s are probably tied to students with very strong grades as well. So my guess is that there is less of a causation between acceptance rate and test scores than the number you guys came up with. </p>
<p>At Stanford, your 36, or 2400, won’t matter if you have a 3.3 GPA and no ECs.</p>
<p>What if…
Someone hypothetically had a 4.0 UWGPA (not including freshman year, as Stanford does not) and 4.90 WGPA.
And the aforementioned 36 ACT score.
And was a great athlete (All-League, MVP, two year Varsity captain, etc.)
Hypothetically, what is their percent chance at Stanford?</p>
<p>^ my chances . net Hmmm…I think they have a pretty great shot</p>
<p>I agree. pretty damn good shot.
are you expecting to be recruited? otherwise, athletics aren’t a huge factor</p>
<p>Stanford is D2 right? I could definitely get recruited at that level (assuming no major obstacles).
As a percentage, what would you give my odds with that stuff with recruitment and without recruitment?</p>
<p>“Players are not on scholarship nor do hockey players receive special consideration in admission to Stanford.”

<p>So it’s a strong EC then.</p>
<p>lol Stanford is D1.</p>
<p>Stanford is D1… but not for hockey. It’s hockey plays D2, as that link will verify.</p>
<p>on estimating admit rate for an ACT 36 composite…</p>
<p>Starting with Stanford’s '13 admit rates (link above):
800 CR= 18%
800 M= 11%
800 W= 18%
36 ACT= ? (not provided)</p>
<p>Brown’s '13 profile provides SAT 800 admit rates AND their 36 ACT admit rate:
800 CR= 23%
800 M= 20.4%
800 W= 24.3%
36 ACT= 30.6%
[Brown</a> Admission: Facts & Figures](<a href=“Undergraduate Admission | Brown University”>Undergraduate Admission | Brown University)</p>
<p>Brown’s ACT admit rate is greater than each Brown SAT section by:
CR= 7.6%
M= 10.2
W= 6.3%</p>
<p>…extrapolate those margins from Stanford’s 800 SAT admit rates:
from CR: 18 + 7.6 = 25.6
from M: 11 + 10.2 = 21.2
from W: 18 + 6.3 = 24.3</p>
<p>…so its conceivable to me that the admit rate for 36 ACT scorers at Stanford lies somewhere between 21% and 26%. (hopefully I’ve done my math right!)</p>
<p>lol if ur good enough to play on the hockey team, you’re in.</p>
