<p>so yea, any thoughts? im open to negative criticism if it is constructive.</p>
<p>big roll of the eyes.
you can probably answer that yourself.
most applying to those schools have the same stats.
you have ECs on top of that.
more than 90% I'd say.
but, I must add, it seems that the majority of people
on this site believe that God himself wasn't admitted to MIT
(blashphemy- he was good at math, but his verbal was ONLY a 700 :O)
You'll most likely be accepted, you know it. Good luck.</p>
<p>someone else on this board goes to that #1 school in nj. hmm, i can't remember who, but maybe you guys know eachother.</p>
<p>nevermind, that was you!</p>
<p>what is the #1 school in nj? is it high tech?</p>
<p>haha thanks. my school is West Windsor-Plainsboro HS North. our average SAT is 1224, its ridiculous. luckily we dont rank, otherwise our students would end up murdering each other.</p>
<p>Yeah, the other person who mentioned the school was me. I know stanfordwannab3.</p>
<p>And if we did rank officially, there would be murder >_<. Although we have a very good idea of where everyone goes, especially towards the top.</p>
<p>I would make further comments, but I don't know how to predict people's chances, when they're at this high of an eschelon of achievement.</p>
<p>Only thing I can say is that the Verbal and Writing scores are not up to his usual standard in everything else (which, as you can see, is perfection :-p). But really, it shouldn't matter at all, since they're still very high.</p>
<p>On the subject of testing, I still have to re-take the SAT I's for Math X_X. Yuck. If only the curve wasn't such a biatch.</p>
<p>Joey</p>
<p>ah west windsor.. i'm from the stupidest school ever.. by stupid i mean they gave us cali style buildings in the middle of NJ
it's horrible in the winter. and the rain.</p>
<p>haha good luck joe. yea, i suck at the english language, but whatev, 760 V is ok.</p>
<p>any thoughts for my harvard EA?</p>
