<p>Well you think that a 2.6 GPA and 1650 SAT is what immediately counts you out of top schools when, in reality, the stats above are close to what would give you zero chance. (Unless you were exaggerating in which case i apologize).</p>
<p>But Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc? Just look at the stats in the respective ‘Class of 2016 Regular decision results’ Threads of those respective boards. Those kids who get in are generally at the very top of their class with higher scores and above average - great ECs. Compared to the OPs brother, his stats are pretty low. Especially the indians who get in.</p>
