<p>hi-
I know that SAT scores are only a part of the application, and sometimes even a small part. I also know tons of people get rejected from top schools each year with perfect scores. However, I'm applying to HYPS and wondering wut my chances are just based on my scores. I do have some ecs and leadership but nothing nationally renowned or outstanding:</p>
<p>2400 SAT
800 SAT II Math 2C
800 SAT II Bio Molecular
800 SAT II World History</p>
<p>Lemme know thanks.</p>
<p>you're a god!</p>
<p>Wow, nice. If I may ask what you use to study to get a perfect score?</p>
<p>50/50 assuming you have a GPA near the top of your class. All those schools claim to reject half of those with perfect scores.</p>
<p>cool thanks. 50/50 is better thatn 1/10. I used several books and my favorite creation: flash cards. Oh yea and many practice tests</p>
<p>oh another question- i also have a 770 lit; does that increase chances, decrease them, or have no effect since its my 4th?</p>
<p>Why would you ask what your chances are based solely upon your scores when they are literally as good as they can be? For someone with such scores your common sense isn't all that, I mean...what scores could possibly give you any better shot?</p>
<p>Pointless thread.</p>
<p>"Based on ONLY these perfect scores, what are my chances?"</p>
<p>Come on, what do you expect us to tell you?</p>
<p>buttermilkbaboon, how did u do so well on the Lit SAT II? How did you prepare?</p>
<p>its funny because this post seems to indicate those are nowhere near the scores he got.</p>
<p>y'know, before you start calling him a liar, you might consider that his scores could have improved since then.</p>
<p>I agree with suze...what would help you is a national ranking....if you are the best in the nation in a specific area..... then you will be noticed</p>
<p>Haha, pwned. Caught in a lie...</p>
<p>He's just testing the waters if you ask me. He did not take enough tests to improve that much and attain those scores. I think he's a joker, and I ain't laughing.</p>
<p>i agree with greygoo and wayman. if you go to greygoo's link, it says that he got a 2280 sat score and a 710 math2c. that post was created in august, thus the most recent test date he could have taken the test was october, and becuase you can only take sat1 or sat2 he couldnt have improved on both of them during one test date...so yeah he's a liar.</p>
<p>plus-look at this funny thread

<p>hmmm....touche</p>
<p>I have the same scores (except 800 in Chem instead of Bio). And I'm hardly confident. The fact that we (if you're being honest) have a freakish ability to destroy standardized tests doesn't really mean that much. Character, grades and interests matter. It's a major leg up of course, but at no top school is it a dealmaker.</p>
<p>Even if you are lying, who knows if those scores will get you in?</p>
<p>Perfect scores are great and all, but it is everything after the score that matters. If you ECs, recs, and essays are stellar, I thinky you have a fairly good chance.</p>
<p>But, once again, only a real select few are "shoo ins," and perfect scores will definitely not be the only attribute of a "shoo in."</p>
