<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>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>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>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>
