<p>Anyone get into ivy's with about 1700 sat score?
exculding URMs and recruits.</p>

2

<p>I got deferred from Penn with an 1800, then rejected RD</p>

3

<p>Oo excluding URMS...lol that's kind of hard to say!</p>

4

<p>to be equally nice (or equally acid), you'd want to exclude recruited athletes and legacies too.</p>

5

<p>... and the famous, powerful, or hyper-rich.</p>

<p>I suppose it is theoretically possible if someone is incredibly talented in a particular field where the low scores are irrelevant, like a musician who has won major competitions, a writer with a best-selling book, etc. I don't know of any actual cases, though.</p>

<p>I can't think offhand of any other way a 1700 would get in.</p>

<p>well, DianeR, what if he owned the place ;)</p>

7

<p>Owned what place?</p>

<p>Yea, 1700s get some ppl into IVYS. COlumbia and COrnell have the HEOP program which basically grants underprivileged kids with good grades & a lot of potential (but very low SATs) admissions if they complete a program during the summer. I know a few 1700s at Cornell and a couple 1800s at Columbia and Penn.</p>
