<p>You’re going to get accepted.</p>
<p>I would guess that you are a likely in, but I do believe that your CR score is below their bottom 25 percentile, which is usually reserved for recruited athletes and others with similar hooks. I would say you have a good shot, but I don’t know how they view a student who is exceptional in every area, but then has a low test score, and thefore can’t really guess what effect, if any, this would have.</p>
<p>They wouldn’t base an acceptance off a single number would they? My reading score is extremely off as well.</p>
<p>^ No, they have a holistic policy, but I’ve heard that most schools do show concern when a student score below the 25th percentile in any given category.</p>
<p>nooooo</p>
<p>am i effed already?</p>
<p>that definitely gave me a mini-heart attack. isn’t the 25th percentile there to show that 25% of their class doesn’t have great SAT scores? that’s what i have always hoped. i don’t think that 25% of their class is a recruited athlete. that would make me screwed :(</p>
<p>anyway i don’t think you have too much to worry about. i think it is a low reach/match depending on your essays</p>
<p>I always was told that its what you need to shot to score above, but in this case, since he is an applicant from an NC public school, I think he has a definite shot. I was just pointing out that my main point of concern would be the CR score.</p>
<p>I feel like while they make question the CR score, they will not solely deny or defer him based on that. My opinion is that you will get in.</p>
