<p>See posts by Stupefy. I don’t remember exactly what happened, but I don’t think she got into any of the Ivies(she may have been waitlisted by a couple) with a 2390/3.9. I think she goes to Williams now. I still don’t know how that happened.</p>
<p>Apparently, Stupefy got into Wharton off the waitlist. However, the point still stands.</p>

This is true; however, he was accepted to Princeton.
No, if my memory serves me correctly, he had two 35s and a superscored 36.</p>
<p>lookingforward: stats from Brown show only rates on 800 of each section. I would consider a 2400er’s chance get admitted to Brown >= (23% + 20.4% + 24.3%)*2/3 = 45.1%</p>
<p>I was reading through CC the other day and found the links provided in this thread to be very interesting. From the data, clearly much more come into play in the admission process than standardized test scores.</p>

<p>Maybe some of you may find this useful, especially if your high school doesn’t use Naviance.</p>
<p>… posted… on 1st page…
Much more surprising to me is reports that 2400ers get rejected by JHU, WashU, etc. No idea of the rates or whether it is Tufts syndrome in action.</p>
<p>My reply:
you assume that a score of 2400 and good grades is all schools look for…I know tufts looks for leaders, and those who want to make a difference in the world…just being smart is NOT enough…</p>
<p>I know of a person who had a 36 on their ACT who got rejected by Yale, but he got into both Harvard and Stanford.</p>
<p>@tuftsman: Only because they are overqualified, and those schools know that those applicants are just using them as “safeties”, Even though they are by no means a safeties.</p>
<p>If Tufts syndrome ever applied, it no longer does…see below…</p>

<p>My friend (2 years older than me) got a 2400, 4.0, great ECs, etc. and was rejected by Princeton, Stanford, and MIT. It really sucks when you think about it. :(</p>
<p>^ What ethnicity? Unforutnately plays a major part.</p>
<p>I know of a few people who have gotten 2400s.
The first one was accepted by all the Ivies (except Harvard), Stanford, MIT and Cal Tech.
The second was accepted by all the Ivies she applied to (Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Brown, and uPenn) and Stanford.
The third person applied ED to Columbia and was accepted.
The fourth and fifth person are in my grade and both will most likely get into at least 1 of the 4 (HYPS).</p>
<p>ya so this is how it works… u have a 2400 and in the top 10 percent with some decent ecs ur getting into an ivy if you apply to all of them… you can make yourself feel better by saying they accept individuals which i think they do… you must have personality and somethin going for you… but if your a urm with a 3.9 and a 1800… ya you are not getting in anywhere… its a numbers game</p>
<p>@shahdin, he was Indian (the Asian kind, lol :D), so I guess that may have played a part . . . Also I don’t know what his financial situation so that may have played a part. I feel very sorry for him, but he’s doing great at UT-Austin so I hope he has no regrets.</p>

<p>If you did well on the SAT /ACT testing but didnt do well at all on admissions essay it could affect your chances. What was his her GPA in school? I have seen athletes get turned down with 96 GPA in some schools.
I havent seen someone with that high of a score so I cant say for sure.</p>
<p>I’m wondering - are there any 2400s that get rejected from ALL 5 of HYPSM? o_o</p>
<p>yodastreet was international and applied for aid, its almost guarunteed rejection</p>
