<p>ty for all the responses all, but:</p>

<p>bumpz0rs to the maxz0rz</p>

<p>And: Will the quality of my essays affect as much as the adcoms, etc. emphasize? (I have 710 writing... guess how skilled I am at writing :))</p>

22

<p>Your in everywhere, even if your essays are mediocre</p>

23

<p>Thats what i thought</p>

24

<p>I was responding to something on the previous page. But in response to your assurance, Habdragon, I have to say that although I agree that his chances are excellent there is not way of saying someone is 100% in anywhere (unless your parents contribute millions).</p>

25

<p>15 APs? Wow! I think you're in.</p>

26

<p>you are in everywhere</p>

27

<p>it's people like you that make us other stanford prospective undergrads feel like @#$%@#$%@#</p>

<p>and i thought my 2230 was cool.</p>

28

<p>I would be shocked if he got rejected anywhere</p>

<p>His score would put him among the top 20 black people in the country last year, and he has the grades to back it up</p>

<p>Hed have an excellent chance if he was asian.</p>

29

<p>ty for the comments everyone. i appreciate it much.</p>

<p>a lot of it is a little extreme</p>

</p>

<p>cmon. no way it's possible. </p>

<p>is MIT really that big a stretch though?</p>

30

<p>they look for the best minorities. It is definately not a huge stretch but definately not assured.</p>

31

<p>YOU ARE IN LIKE NO OTHER. You'll probably be taking my spot... :0</p>

32

<p>Yes, you really are among the top 20 black people in the country</p>

33

<p>it is actually not the top 20 it is more like the top 200. last year approx. 200 African Americans got over a 1500 or over on the old SAT last year. Accroding to some that translates to a 2250 new score (though there is some debate on this).</p>

34

<p>He got a 1530 on the old one (M + CR)</p>

35

<p>yes but that still isn't the top 20, it is the top 200. Being in this catagory as well I researched it thoroughly.</p>

<p>bumpz0rz :)</p>

37

<p>let's try the 18 day after bump</p>

<p>anyone?</p>

38

<p>i think you're in </p>

<p>the only rejection letters I can see you getting would be from schools using WUSTL tactics, where they think you won't enroll. (I just read a report showing how Princeton does this) But if Stanford is your first choice, and you're in EA, the rest should be easy</p>

<p>Affirmative action blows.</p>

<p>He still has as good a chance as anyone despite "affirmative action". 15 AP's upon graduation, are you kidding me? That's crazy. You average 4 AP's every year. Are you sure you're not from a really competitive school? The fact that your school can offer that many AP's and those levels of math says A LOT about your school. I actually know a handful of black people that have gotten over 1500/2250. A lot of them were at MITES, which FFX1619 should have been at. HEY are you from San Diego (619)?</p>
