<p>It's on collegeboard.com, Karl Marks. </p>

<p>It gives the number of people in the class of 2006 who got XXXX score out of 2400. Remember that this is only the number of people who got that score in 1 sitting...it is impossible to calculate how many people got composite scores of XXXX over several sittings.</p>

<p>Well, I believe I got completely owned, I admit it. That is some interesting data though, thanks b4nnd20.</p>

<p>To answer Skichick's question, exactly 532 people in the Class of 2006 got 2330's on their SATs in one sitting. The number of people who got composite scores of 2330 (combining scores from several sittings) is probably closer to 1000. And then there are those 500 (238+240) people who got 2390s and 2400s. Again, some people could have gotten 2390s and 2400s using combined sittings (eg, 760 M, 780 V, 800 W could be combined with 790 M, 800 V, 800 W)</p>

<p>If you don't get in...
- I give up my dreams and hopes</p>

<p>Honestly, your stats are wonderful but the schools are selective enough to reject people with wonderful stats all the time.</p>

<p>I say go for it. Good luck man!!</p>

<p>Didn't several Intel STS finalists get waitlisted at Harvard last year? These science achievements don't guarantee an acceptance, even though they are impressive.</p>

<p>"Honestly, your stats are wonderful but the schools are selective enough to reject people with wonderful stats all the time."</p>

<p>That doesn't mean that his chances are automatically as low as everyone else's. He also has incredible EC's and honors.</p>

<p>Here's a more accurate breakdown:
H: Slight reach
Y: Slight reach
P: Slight reach
S: Slight reach
M: Weak match</p>

<p>nah, nobody can get into all of those schools...except me</p>

<p>I would say in at Princeton or Stanford if ED.</p>

<p>You can totally disregard my opinion if you want to, as I can't say I'm the most knowledgable person on HYPS. Still, after reading around these forums for a few days, I can say that your stats look very similar to everyone else who is aiming for HYPS. That probably isn't a good thing.</p>

<p>You definitely need a hook. There are plenty of people with great GPAs, great SATs, and all the high honors in their ECs. The Taekwondo is a nice edge, though. Still, most of the other HYPS-hopeful CCs here also have some sort of sport backing them up as well as awards in some sort of science/math related honor.</p>

<p>But, like someone said, HYPS is a reach for anyone. It seems a bit like a higher reach for you, though, because... well, you're kind of like everyone else.</p>

<p>I am planning to do join an international activity and I'm just wondering if it will help my chances of getting into Stanford?</p>

<p>What exactly makes one generic?</p>

<p>Don’t reply this thread is from 2006</p>

<p>…I thought Harvard dropped EA. Try Yale SCEA</p>

<p>EDIT: oops, yea, don’t post! :)</p>
