<p>White dude</p>

<p>collegekid, he had to have had some hook. With those test scores there's no way an ordinary student w/o a hook could have gotten in.</p>

<p>^ if you called those stats ordinary, you and me have different views.</p>

<p>i guess he means ordinary for Ivies lol</p>

<p>The stats are actually sub-average for an ivy, rexrun467. And I meant ordinary as in a student without a hook, not stats. Ordinary stats for an ivy would be 700+ SAT IIs, 2100+ SAT.</p>

<p>he had mad good ECs, president of the school and model un.</p>

<p>Yeah then he wasn't an ordinary student, his ECs are a great, which makes up for his low SAT scores. I was just saying that it is possible to get into schools with lower scores, but you need to have something that makes you stand out to do it.</p>

<p>Yeah, I don't know, my friend had a good interview, mad good essay...</p>

<p>did he do ED? and the interview means nothing these days. Essay balances out test scores. Congrats to your friend!</p>

<p>if he was accepted into cornell for the fall 05 year, then why is his SAT out of 2400?</p>

<p>sither, lol good point. didn't even pick up on that.</p>

<p>president of the school and model UN are CRAZY ec's?</p>

<p>umm..</p>

<p>It also depends on the high school he came from. If it's a super competitive school, being president is a huge accomplishments. And significant contributions are viewed favorably as well.</p>

<p>Two years ago my friend graduated as president of his class with tons of MUN awards and president/cofounder of Amnesty International. He got into Yale.</p>

<p>Then again, he also won the Discover scholarship for 30 grand. I think he won that through student government and MUN as well.</p>

<p>Well he was CRAZY good at MUN.</p>

<p>the kid who posted this is full of it..with those scores, i dont care if he is presdient of the school, your not getting into Cornell unless he was top in his class. Secondly, you make a good point about the out of 2400 SATs.there are alwaysu exceptoins at every school..this kid may be a URM for all we know..if he was 1 or 2 in his class it may be more believable</p>
