<p>will a 2090 keep me out?!?</p>
<p>i have IMMENSELY strong extracurriculars... I founded a non-profit organization and was internationally recognized for my work.</p>
<p>I am extremely active in school/community and I have a 93/100 GPA. Please, what do you think?</p>
<p>It's finally all hitting mee....</p>
<p>If you’ve read other threads regarding similar SAT questions, you should realize that scores are but a small component of your whole application. Granted, you could try to improve on 2090 if you have the opportunity, but it’s not that bad a score to guarantee a rejection. </p>
<p>On the other hand, “IMMENSELY strong extracurriculars” may not appear all that outstanding if we consider the caliber of Yale applicants… which is pretty amazing on the average. I guess what I’m trying to say is that since HYPS are such a reach for anybody, everything (incl. ECs) are relative.</p>
<p>It really depends on the context of your school, I mean at my school the statistics show that if you have a 2000+ then you can get in. However according to most on CC you need at least a 2300+. Your ECS will defintely make up for the SAT, GOOD LUCK!</p>
<p>well, no one has gotten in from my school for at least 9 years…
we send maybe 3-4 kids to ivies or little ivies each year. but then again, we have around 30 kids in our grade. whatchya think?</p>
<p>At the information session I went to when I was at Yale, the admissions officer stressed repeatedly that scores were not going to make or break your admission and were actually quite a small component of the overall decision.
other than than, I agree with feathers.o’four.</p>
<p>Eaten, don’t fret 
You definitely have a chance, because I’ve known people with 1780s getting it… Hopefully you’ll fulfil all the other criteria on the adcoms’ checklists… It’s only 3 more days and you’ll know. Best of luck :)</p>
<p>Agreed, don’t worry too much. Your ECs are awesome. (Besides, it’s too late to do anything about it between now and Tuesday, right?) :D</p>
<p>“I’ve known people with 1780s getting it”</p>
<p>wow, that’s pretty crazy. i know of people with 1900’s getting in, but nothing lower</p>
<p>^ oh wow…</p>
<p>yes, i would be interested in knowing what the 1780 who was accepted had accomplished/what his or her hook was. any idea, slakedlime?</p>
<p>and i’d say that founding a nonprofit is pretty outstanding even for an ivy league applicant. especially if said nonprofit has been successful.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are they just IMMENSELY strong or are they</p>
<p>IMMENSELY strong?</p>
<p>If the latter, then you’re in.</p>
<p>If the former, then who knows?</p>
<p>@vicariousparent: haha. at this point, i am not too sure… at least your post made me smile, thanks :)</p>
