<p>Who cares about a 1600 and a 4.0? College Admissions, that's it. Your wife/husband won't care about it. Your employer won't care about it. It's pathetic to see kids waste their lives on one stupid test. </p>
<p>There are two divisions at my school: the ones who study all day long for a 4.0 and 1600 SAT and the ones that work hard, get a 3.9 something, get a 1400 something, and have fun. It's not surprising that Stanford rejected the perfect score people and picked the low 1400 sat people who have a passion for life.</p>
<p>Whatever. Just live your life how you want to. Later guys, I'm gonna go enjoy my life.</p>
<p>Damn you summer and your nerdy remarks about Calc 3 and whatnot!!!! im gonna be in friggin pre calc as a senior so go to bloody bones u bagwhore!!! yeah those words make me seem intelligent see? anybody can spout random nonsense!!!!!</p>
<p>Just to give you an idea of how ridiculously un-representative this site is of the college applicant pool, take the recent Interim admissions decisions of Rice. Now, most people consider Rice a really great school. Maybe it's not an Ivy League, but it's definitely up there. I know kids that would kill to go to Rice, because it is an outstanding school with a very strong reputation.</p>
<p>According to the Interim Decision roster, 40!! out of 47 applicants were accepted to a school that normally accepts only 33% of applicants under its Interim Decision plan. The CC acceptance rate is ridiculous, because the College Confidential posters are ridiculously qualified.</p>
<p>Although you guys may say that people who are rejected or deferred are less likely to post, when I looked at the roster, the vast, vast majority of people who said they were applying DID end up posting their admissions decision, making the roster a fair example of the general group at College Confidential.</p>
<p>The moral of the story is, don't get scared by the posters here. They have unusually high stats, and they garner more acceptances from top colleges as a result of it.</p>
