<p>two of my friends got early writes!</p>
<p>one of them i've gone to school with for 14 years, and he said he'd come unless he got into brown (he got deferred) or possibly yale or princeton...but still! he might come!</p>
<p>yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy</p>
<p>What do you think constitutes a "1"? Do you think it is similar to a 9 on CC Academic Index?</p>
<p>a simplistic guide

<p>Hmm. That makes me feel alot better if only 1s get the EW. You guys are sick. </p>
<p>I think I fall somewhere (hopefully) between 2 & 3, but leaning towards three more since my SATIIs aren't stellar. Man, one more month.</p>
<p>I have a 1560 and the IB equivalent of "mostly As," which would make me about a 1.5... but my school doesn't rank, so I don't have the "top x%" to put my grades into context.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm worried because I'm a 1 (1570, val) and I've gotten nothing.</p>
<p>I'm 1520, mostly / many As (Indian grades converted to American, according to Wikipedia), top 10% that would make me.. a 2? 1.5? 2.5? I'm not sure how my grades will be converted.</p>
<p>the rating is probably less than half of the equation...being a 1 wouldn't make you an automatic accept, and not being a 1 wouldn't make you an automatic reject...it's very subjective</p>
<p>From Williams board about Williams early writes:</p>
<p>"If a high school has more than one applicant, and all are not considered for receiving early writes, Williams won't send one to any of the students -- all will be notified at the same time (by April 1st)."</p>
<p>Think it's true for Amherst too?</p>
<p>what is the chance of a 2 getting in - but with legacy</p>
<p>i have a 1480, 3.98(unweighted), 4.83(weighted), i am 18 out of 722 - which puts me in the top 3%</p>
<p>my sat2s: 800 world history, 800 biology, 800 math2, 790 US History</p>
<p>well, 2/4 RD applicants got early writes from my school, so...</p>
<p>so...........?</p>
<p>...so they don't follow the same early write policy as Williams. I think that's what zspot meant.</p>
<p>i found out an additional 2 kids got early writes...so of the 6 kids i know who applied RD, 4 got early writes...</p>
<p>sweeeet</p>
<p>So I guess you aren't getting in then :)</p>
<p>i am confused about this point system thing.</p>
<p>so 4's and 5's are inadmissiable.</p>
<p>does that mean like...only a very tiny fraction of 3's get in
slightly more 2.5's
more 2's
more 1.5's
most 1's</p>
<p>it sort of seems to me that by assigning a point system on gpa, test scores, and other tangibles that the adcom is being a little...err shallow?</p>
<p>There are guidelines in the system for how the numeric ratings are assigned but the intangible is the essays. That's why it's still a guessing game.</p>
<p>i got in ed, which is why im so excited that people i know are getting in also</p>
<p>Are internationals sent early writes through express mail or through the postal system?</p>
<p>wow is your school a feeder zspot?</p>
