and im not of hispanic or african descent</p>
<p>can you also tellme for:
ivy league (any)
duke
northwestern</p>
<p>A hook will never ever keep you out of a school, it just won't work for you. There are tons of kids without hooks that get into the best schools, it's just a bunch harder for them.</p>
<p>Anywayz, there ain't no way I can tell you if you'll get into Stanford, perfect people are rejected. I can tell you that you have the stats for it. If you wanna go ivy, though, you might want to pick the ones you actually like.</p>
<p>Haha. Your stats would definately match Stanford, but as far as chances of admission, no one is a match. There are a lot of perfectly qualified students and not enough spots.</p>
<p>I don't see anything that makes you stand out from the rest of the top scorers--that's the largest issue for you in terms of top colleges like Stanford. You look like a match for Northwestern and Duke.</p>
<p>Maybe 20% chance at S with no hook and not S calibre SATs. With good recs and essays Northwestern should be a high chance and Duke and lower ivies 50/50.</p>
<p>Don't overestimate Stanford. The SATs would definately be great caliber, as a matter of fact, 740 CR would be above 50% (690-780 is 25-75 percentile)</p>
<p>I know two people who were rejected with excellent grades and great SAT scores (2390 and 2400), along with solid EC's. I would say that the score isn't your issue for Stanford....but how could you overestimate Stanford? Please.</p>

<p>Well, you forget that Stanford could easily fill its class with higher stats than that if score is the only thing they care about.</p>
<p>californiakid: Please, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying Stanford isn't at the top, I'm saying don't overestimate how much a score like 740 will play in, more directly. I'm saying that the scores are on par with Stanford.</p>
<p>And second of all, you're claiming that people you knew were rejected, even with 2300+. They weren't rejected because their SATs were too low. Their SATs were right on par, if not above Stanford's average. The fact that they were rejected is no reflection on whether or not a 740 is on par or not.</p>
<p>Sam Lee: I'm not saying that SAT is the factor of what get's you in, because that would be a stupid thing to say. I'm saying that an SAT of 740 won't keep you out of Stanford.</p>
<p>I'll second my response. Again, I'm not denying that Stanford's crazy hard to get into, I'm denying the original statement that the 740 CR that the OP has are "not S calibre SATs"</p>
<p>your in great shape, all these CC kids are just trying to be harsh. your ec's are lacking the depth that i hear (dont know for sure) that means so much but academically you have obviously proved yourself. i mean your ec's arent bad but you could really benifit from one things that shows a lot of depth.</p>
<p>Murasaki: I understand what you're trying to say, your wording was just poor (how am I supposed to interpret "don't overestimate Stanford"?). If you read my previous response correctly, I mentioned that the OP's SAT score is not her issue for admissions. Using the average SAT score for Stanford is misleading, especially since you need to take into consideration affirmative action, recruits, legacy (I don't know if Stanford really stresses legacy though), etc.</p>
