<p>Okay, im a caucasian male from new york.</p>

<p>SATS
1620 on first try, but took them again and think i did better.
Expect:
800 math
750 English
750 Writing</p>

<p>GPA
3.2 Weighted</p>

<p>Extracurrics
--Soccer from 7th to 9th grade
--Piano lessons from 4th to 10th grade
--Mowed neighbor's lawn for 3 months when he broke leg</p>

<p>Alumni Status
--kind of. two of my mom's cousins went here so i think that counts.</p>

<p>Interest in Attending
--really really high! this counts a lot more than most ppl think (for sum schools this is the most important factor)</p>

<p>Just tell me, cause im not sure. Both my parents tell me im very competitive, but dont no if its gonna be a sho-in or not.</p>

<p>You plan on going from a 1620 to a 2300???
But with a 3.2 weighted GPA…it looks like a humongous reach…</p>

<p>man, even if that gets bumped to a 2400 and the SAT IIs improve similarly, it’s still a hell of a reach. 3.2 is almost totally out of range, not unless your parents are donating seven figure sums to the school or you’re harry potter or something.</p>

<p>I agree. My son with actual SATs of 2250, PERFECT verbal, all SAT2s above 730, actual GPA of 4.0 in IB, and EC president student gov and editor in chief of the newspaper got wait-listed. I think you’d better look elsewhere.</p>

5

<p>thats kinda realllly offensive, no offense. ive always been told to “capture the dream,” and i dont plan on letting anything stopping me from obtaining my goals.</p>

<p>im not gonna take the satII’s, dont rly wanna cause theyre like an hour long each which is absolutely ridiculous. Instead im gonna write the school an extra letter saying that i reallllllllllly want to get it, and talk about the positive things about me (im planning on using some really good adjectives).</p>

<p>Im also writing that im in the TOP 40% of my class, which is very cleverly worded. since i said “top” 40%, they wont know exactly how high my rank is. they might just assume i’m the valedictorian.</p>

6

<p>no offense oldbat, but i’ve probably achieved more in my 18 years of life and they u have achieved in yours. for gods sake, im using the word “perspicacious” in my essay, thats so good.</p>

7

<p>if u dont beleive that im a rlllllllly good writer, just read my intro for my college essay:</p>

<p>Gerbils are social animals, and live in groups in the wild. Often very large groups live well together, as long as the living environment is big enough. If it is not big enough, the gerbils may become frustrated and attack one another. I, however, would not attack a gerbil or someone, because i believe in peace. Perhaps someday we will have more peace.</p>

<p>mediocre ■■■■■</p>

9

<p>No SAT IIs, can’t get in at all.</p>

10

<p>This is a joke. His mother’s cousins helping would be the first dead give away. Applicants from NY tend to be sophisticated about these things.</p>

11

<p>Definitely a ■■■■■. Other prospective students, please ignore this…anyone with those stats stands no chance.</p>

12

<p>Oh, I don’t know, I think s/he is better than just mediocre at ■■■■■■■■. I guess I’m just a pushover for this kind of humor, but I thought it was pretty funny – especially the world peace gerbil essay. Introducing a little levity into this crazy process is a good thing!</p>

13

<p>I smiled when I read it, so I think the ■■■■■ is above average as well. It’s better when they spoof an existing thread.</p>

14

<p>I prefer to think of it as satire.</p>

15

<p>LOL! (10char)</p>
