<blockquote> <p>I think an admissions rep at Dartmouth phrased it very well when I visited: "We won't immediately look at anyone and think that this person could never attend our school. Barring individuals convicted of major felonies, of course." Righto.<<</p> </blockquote>

<p>Nice to hear and probably true up to a certain point. If they saw someone with an SAT score of 1200 out of 2400 (not trying to offend anyone); don't you think they would immediately close the file? Okay, maybe that coupled with a C average? Or would they keep looking, thinking - hey, this applicant has b*lls?</p>
