<p>caltech requires only 2</p>
<p>haha, oh gosh, I could never survive there</p>
<p>lol hi Goldfish...yes, I tend not to make sense.
what I meant what hopefully if I get deferred, they will look at my Nov. chem score and ignore the Nov. Japanese because I will have math2 and chem already. :)</p>
<p>^ :)</p>
<p>Yeah if I get deferred they'll see my World History and Chem scores.</p>
<p>You people amaze me. 690 is NOT a bad score by any means. If you have nothing going for you but your SAT scores, they won't take you anyways. Believe me.</p>
<p>As for me, I don't have a single SAT score over 700. Sucks for me, eh? I'm definitely not getting in EA. If I get deferred, I will be so happy just to know that I wasn't flat-out rejected. Hope those UCs pan out better for me.</p>
<p>Jack, I don't have a score over 700 either.</p>
<p>It's weird...out of the 60 possible scores for SCEA Applicants (20 people, 3 sections per person) on the SAT I, there have only been 5 scores under 700! That's amazing!!!</p>
<p>The only guys from my school who got in last year had <1400 scores. The people with like bunches of 800's got rejected.</p>
<p>Woohoo! Go the 5 with less than 700! Although I have one score less than 700, but I have a 1400. Dang. Should've stayed at 1390.</p>
<p>Goldfish... that really scares me...
I got a 680 on my CR...
think I can bring it up in a year?</p>
<p>yes you can bring it up in a year. Take it from me (low score on verbal PSAT in 10th grade--> pretty high score on SAT CR)</p>
<p>anyone know how i can bring my SATI math up?...in a week?^^ I've practiced out of PR and stuff, but on their practice tests I get like 780...so it tricks me into thinking I'm set.</p>
<p>my first SAT sitting i got a 610 in reading
second sitting i got a 640
third sitting a 690
so yes, definitely, with some hard work and some leafing through some vocab lists, you can definitely bring it up over 700</p>
<p>you think a high percentage of people with 700+ scores that make it to stanford post on this board? let's hope so. that gives us sub-700 kids some light of hope...</p>
<p>Well according to last year's SCEA stats, only one person with a below 700 was acccepted outright, all the others who got 600's or less were rejected or deferred. <em>shocked</em></p>
<p>That doesn't surprise me one bit.
But I have a couple of reasons as to why they're not good (um, I'm in a French school and we have two curiculums to fufill). Still annoys me that I could very well be rejected because of my scores, knowing that my performance in college will not be any worse because I'm not good at that stupid ass multiple choice test.</p>
<p>My Dad's an alumni: I'm not sure what this will do for me, but we did get a letter in the mail saying that children of alums were admitted twice as often SCEA than regular applicants. It seems really cheap, but at the same time, I feel I deserve an advantage considering I never learned muliple choice style testing.</p>
<p>"I feel I deserve an advantage considering I never learned muliple choice style testing."
don't take it personally, but if your deserved advantage really were to get you into stanford, you would struggle a lot in undergrad without the basic knowledge of multiple-choice testing.</p>
<p>i hope i can bring my 690 to 750!</p>
<p>If you have a 2200(99th percentile) or above and are here complaining, you need help.</p>
<p>SAT scores dont get you into HYPS, passion does.</p>
<p>Stanford rejects more than 60% of the 1600's that apply. </p>
<p>Here is an article in which you see a 1580 SAT kid being rejected for a 1430 SAT one. And Im not surprised, his application made him/her seem like methodical preprofessional nerd. Judging by his math/science classical music EC's, he resembled the stereotypical gradegrubber.</p>
<p>They accept kids who display curiousity and passion. Worry about that instead of your <em>GASP</em> average scores.</p>
<p>Is 1430 bad? Cause I've got a 1400.....But I have to admit that in some sort of twisted way, I enjoyed the downfall of the 1580 kid while I read that.....Hehe....</p>
<p>ey don't diss classical music! some kids (like me) don't play classical music to look good. :) you can diss the kids who do only play to look good tho haha (no offense im jp :P)</p>
<p>I am a little unnerved about how they said he would "stick out like a sore thumg" though.....if he wants to come for the academics and not the social life, that's his choice.</p>
