<p>Any other non-language subject test, I believe. Those native Chinese speakers must KILL the scale for the SAT II chinese, and the same goes for most other languages.</p>
<p>Lit was the easiest Subject Test I took, I got a 730. Then I got a 630 on US History, so go figure.</p>
<p>I'm really hoping Pton will put 2 and 2 together and connect my great Lit score with my intended major, English.</p>
<p>Do adcoms really consider quality over quantity? If two applicants were the same and it came down to subject test scores, would they pick a person who was like 800, 800 or someone with 770, 760, 750, 740, 730?</p>
<p>I suspect they would consider how well the applicants did on the ones actually relating to their possible majors/interests.</p>
<p>you say, "if two applicants were the same," but if that were to happen, they probably would not have done a good enough job providing a compelling, coherent portrait of themselves as a human being, because really, two people are never the same.</p>
<p>I got a 780 Lit without any prep. And I doubt Princeton would reject you because of one SAT II score.</p>
<p>Chance of geeting in ED: between 0% and 10%
Chance of getting defer: > 50%
Chance of getting reject: between 25% and 50%</p>
<p>My conclusion: defer</p>
<p>blur, good call...i only made that statement, because the curve on the lit test is huge...i think you can leave 15 or 16 blank and still get above 700...</p>
<p>Chances of getting in ED= 10%
Chances of getting Differed: 75%
Chances of getting rejected: 15%</p>
<p>Reasoning.
Given that my stats are reasonably within range of the medians I don't think there's any outright reason to reject me.
(I'm still saying it's greater than my chance of getting accepted though...)
On the other hand the only hook I have, and I mean the only, is that my essays are somewhat quirky- and from what I'm reading here, that isn't a hook at all.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em>
It's weird. I know I'll get deferred, but at the same time a huge part of me doesn't accept it. In my mind I've been accepted, so there'll be many tears shed when I open the mail box one fine December day....</p>
<p>Chances-25%
Deferred</p>
<p>Good Class Rank, Bad New SAT score, Decent Old SAT score, Decent SAT, Great SAT II scores, thinking that I'm international (Canadian citizen living and going to school in US), Good State awards, then some Bausch and Lomb Science Award (no idea the worth of this)</p>
<p>i know exactly what you mean pyramid, i've planned out that if i get in, im going to go and purchase the most expensive cigar i can and smoke it in my special childhood hiding spot on a lake and just reflect on the years past and silently enjoy the sense of accomplishment before i tell anyone...that hour when im the only one who knows would be the most memorable moment of my senior year...i've run it through my mind so much i cant bear the idea of it not happening...i just want to experience that one hour when i know but the rest of the community doesnt...so im the only one at that moment to celebrate my accomplishment...so i can remind myself to be humble for the rest of my life about going, because in the end, most applicants merited an admission</p>
<p>Oh, me too. I know that I'm going to try to keep it a secret over winter break (not sure if I'm capeable of that) and just sort of hug it to me- I got in, I got in, I don't have to feel like a failure anymore, ever again, (this of course is a lie), and-
Well, I'm not ready to deal with the opposite case, despite all my pessimism.</p>
<p>yeah man, we'll find out right before winter break, so i'll have to tell my teacher recommenders not to send the other letters, but other than that, im gonna try to keep it as quiet as possible, so i can enjoy the anticipation for two weeks of letting everyone else know after i get back...if i dont get in, i'll prolly let more people know, so that way im not asked as much about the result when i get back...</p>
<p>I haven't actually told anyone where I'm applying. (Actually I haven't prepared the rest of my apps, is that a bad thing?).
Hey me too! I'll tell loads of people if I don't get in, because I couldn't deal with the repeated pang-
but if I do...ah what a delicious secret.</p>
<p>maybe this will help you all lighten up...
chances: 0%
Rationale: I didnt apply ED. hehe, relax all of you...decisions will be out before you know it. dont fret over the future just live for the moment</p>
<p>easier said than done, but words to live by nonetheless</p>
<p>Chances of getting in ED= 20%
Chances of getting Deferred: 60%
Chances of getting rejected: 20%</p>
<p>My SATs are down the toilet, so they are sure to pull me down. Like there's a helluva chance of a 1360 + 700WR, 750/690/680 INTERNATIONAL getting in. I dont even fall in the mid 50. 2 more students from the school I graduated from are applying ED, and one is a super genius in terms of stats. Also, I applied last year and got rejected RD, so it may not play down will with the adcoms.</p>
<p>My 20% chance for acceptance is because: Diversity (Indian of Norwegian citizenship, did 2 years of high school in Korea and graduated from there), Decent AP scores, Good recs, good GPA, know 4 languages, great things going for me in my gap year (patenting a device I described in my app), a year-long internship and some online AP courses +++. and of course, my undying love for Princeton :p</p>
<p>Deferral: Heck, they just want to slowly torture me - to give me a rejection later on. </p>
<p>How was all that for a rant of optimism ;)</p>
<p>As much as I like princeton, I won't get too distraught with a deferral or even a rejection. There are other schools out there and one does not need to get into a top school like Princeton to be successful or at least, follow his or her dreams.</p>
<p>Well said!</p>
<p>I know and believe that logically.
Now all I have to do is work on accepting that emotionally.</p>
