<p>^ Unfortunately this thread further perpetuates such a “myth” despite some admitted students on this thread having phenomenal stats.</p>
<p>^^I respectfully disagree. With the exception of Change91, who seems to be an outlier, there isn’t much to support the myth on this thread. Anyone unduly influenced by an outlier should consult the published quartile ranges, which shows the narrow differentials among the peer schools, based on comprehensive data (unlike this thread, which is catch-as-catch-can). Cheers!</p>
<p>Math II - 780
Chemistry - 620
Literature - 580</p>
<p>So I’m guessing these scores counted against me, then. I still got in, though.</p>
<p>I swear to god my african american friend got in with a 700, 690, 710. Normal SAT was 2000 flat. Although she doesn’t have the best scores, she has quite a character. ie, very “in your face” speaks her mind type.</p>
<p>Bartok, your Hawaiian residency certainly brings geographical (and maybe also Pacific Islander?) diversity, desirable not only Stanford but also to all of its peers, who like to maintain a 50-state representation. That would be a plus just about everywhere. I’m sure you bring many other desirable qualities as well. : )</p>

<p>Single sitting.</p>
<p>congrats to of all you triple-800 folks! Im planning on applying to stanford this year…</p>
<p>Math 2- 780
Chem- 760
US History- 600 (NOT submitting this one lol)</p>
<p>Now i just need to work on the regular SAT… joy.</p>
<p>Planin’ to apply to Stanford this fall!
Math Level 2 800
Chemistry 790
German 760
all self-studied in 2 weeks!! (living in China which means no prep material for German Test and no German classes~~)</p>
<p>is ur son Asian? i know a bunch of chinese students who score perfect 2400 on SAT 2 in the three subject tests=.=</p>
<p>Chemistry–790
Math II–750
Physics–800</p>
<p>My son’s scores were</p>
<p>US History, 760
Math 2, 800
Physics, 800</p>
<p>Stanford doesn’t require SAT II’s, so there are people who are admitted without any. We know a kid who was being recruited by Stanford and the Ivies who decided on Stanford in part because he didn’t feel like taking the subject tests. LOL</p>
<p>ha! take a look at my scores. i didn’t study for the SAT or SAT II. i’m so glad i didn’t waste half my high school career on those numbers. </p>
<p>670 Literature
610 Mathematics Level 2
660 U.S. History </p>
<p>680 Reading
670 Math
690 Writing</p>
<p>guys really, just focus on being a well-rounded person. show your personality through your essays. that is, if you still have a personality after studying so hard.</p>
<p>^^
- most people didn’t study very much for good scores; tests like the SAT I especially cant be improved upon much with practice.</p>
<p>2) top colleges aren’t looking for the typical “well-rounded” student anymore</p>
<p>Is there a reason why everyone does 3 SAT II’s? I was only thinking of doing two but now I’m not sure.</p>
<p>Harvard requires 3 SAT IIs. And a lot of people apply to Harvard as well as Stanford.</p>
<p>For engineering, many schools require a math and science SAT II … and then one in the humanities may also be required.</p>
<p>^^I’ll bet you a dollar Harvard doesn’t require 3 SATII</p>
<p>Is there any advantage to doing 3 SAT II’s if you’re not applying to a school that requires it? And how many SAT II’s can you take in one session?</p>
