<p>I've read a lot of chances posts, but those were the posts of ppl, who didn't get in yet
so i'm wondering, what were your stats when you were accepted? (along with EC's)
thanks</p>
<p>anyone?....</p>
<p>Well, I had a 1430 on my SAT I (740V, 690M), and good scores on my SAT IIs (biology, math 2c, and writing... all were between 750 and 800 but frankly I don't really remember the exact numbers... this is what happens when you get old).</p>
<p>I was ranked 11th in a class of 530, with a few (2?) B+ and a few (4?) A-.</p>
<p>On the EC side, I was the female lead of a very prestigious theatre department, made the show choir as a junior (one of only two kids to do so), and was the captain of the 40-member color guard in a marching band which went to Macy's and a few national band championships.</p>
<p>nice EC's!
thanks, mollie!
anyone else?</p>
<p>GPA: 3.93/4.00, 4.65/5.00 ranked 4/450</p>
<p>SAT: 790 Math, 650 Verbal</p>
<p>SAT II: 730 Math, 690 Physics, 570 Writing</p>
<p>Almost none of my ECs were academic, which possibly shows MIT just wants you to have a passion for something.</p>

<p>thanks again, kevtrice</p>
<p>anyone else would like to share their stats with everyone? lol</p>
<p>i honestly dont think stats mean anything. it's much more personal than numbers/letters.</p>
<p>well.....of course stats do mean something
for example, 200 SAT score plus 1.8 GPA, plus no research, EC's, etc, etc.
i wonder one would be able to get in...
however, i do agree, that stats is not hte only thing they're looking for, BUT
knowing them, i know approximately what to expect, what to do...</p>
<p>that's what i think</p>
<p>actually, my whole point is that one can't really "know them." it's impossible. at least, i've given up trying. in high school, i compared stats and evaluated my chances of getting into individual schools, but at the end of the day, some of my "safety" schools rejected me and the schools that i applied to as a joke all accepted me. <em>shrug</em> </p>
<p>i guess you could still attempt to evaluate your chances by comparing stats with other people who got in, but please dont waste too much time on it. just be yourself, do what you like doing, try your best on standardized tests, and let the rest fall into their respective places naturely. sometimes you might be surprised of the outcome. =0)</p>
<p>wish you the best

<p>People who say stats are meaningless don't come from my HS... that's for sure. MIT level SAT scores are hard to come by. Whenever you watch a kid try to break 800 (total) you understand how lucky you are.</p>
<p>stats aren't meaningless, but you don't need that many datapoints to figure out what the "typical" profile is for someplace like MIT. half the data (standardized test scores, frinstance) are on the admissions website.</p>
<p>welll...good point
but i need to raise somehow my number of posts ;)</p>
