<p>I figured this can be a slightly different version of another thread that asks students where they're going and their stats. </p>
<p>Well, for those who got into HYPS (and other Ivies), I think the rest of us here on CC would love to hear about your stats and extra curriculars. I'm sure they might raise some hopeful's spirit (maybe even my own).</p>
<p>I didn’t get accepted because I haven’t started applying yet…but here’s the stats of some of my lower-scoring friends/family:</p>
<p>Person #1: Accepted into HYB and Columbia
SAT I: 23XX
SAT II: 800, 7XX, 7XX</p>
<p>Person #2: Accepted into YPSB, Cornell, Columbia, UPenn, etc.
SAT I: 2400
SAT II: 800 x 4 exams</p>
<p>Person #3 (frankly makes me feel better…): Accepted into HP
SAT I: 20X0
SAT II: 7XX x 3 exams</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>“lower-scoring”???</p>
<p>in the HYB what is B? Berkeley?</p>
<p>probably brown</p>
<p>How exactly is 2400/2400 and 800/800X4 “lower scoring”? How could P#2 have scored any better? LOL.</p>
<p>(Though P#3 does make me feel better, too.)</p>
<p>Was p3 a recruited athlete or child of a major donor?</p>
<p>he was probably joking about “lower scoring” lol</p>
<p>Why did you put 23XX and 20X0, obviously the last digit is going to be a zero.. thats not very consistent..</p>
<p>If this helps, my friend got into Columbia.<br>
