<p>I trust Stanford. That is why I believe there is no SAT cutoff.</p>
<p>I am a counterexample. That is why I disbelieve "anything below 2100 pulls you out of the competition."</p>
<p>Fortunately, I applied to Stanford, not the School of You. It appears you ought to give Stanford a lesson in applicant selection. Until then, I'm on my merry way to the best school in the world.</p>
<p>So what did you get in your SAT I?</p>
<p>And did you even get in? lol</p>

<p>Looks like he did get in.</p>
<p>That doesn't apply to normal students like me...</p>
<p>He graduated from highschool at the age of 15, maintained a college GPA od 3.95, and yet failed to get a decent score on one of the easiest tests my number-2 pencil has ever encountered?</p>
<p>I just hate it when people pull that whole "I'm a child prodigy" act out of their a s s.</p>
<p>Yes, I took the SAT Reasoning Test once and got 600 in reading, 650 in writing, and 720 in math. I decided I didn't care enough about the College Board's opinion of my ability to read lame things and write about lame topics to retake it and that the schools to which I apply will have a sample of my writing to judge for themselves, anyway. (This is not to say a high SAT score is worthless in general; 2350 is admirable, Blue_Blooded.)</p>
<p>I took the SAT Subject Test and got 800 in math level 2, 650 in German, and 720 in physics (quite surprising, considering I only took introductory physics classes in college and none in high school).</p>
<p>I admit this was the most worrying thing to me about my Stanford application because the website says "only students with very strong academic credentials are encouraged to apply - those with cumulative college grade point averages in the 3.5 to 4.0 range and SAT verbal/critical reading and math scores in the 650 to 800 ranges." But I applied anyway, and I got in as a junior, so all is well.</p>
<p>I was rejected by MIT and Caltech and accepted to Stanford, UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz with Regents at Santa Cruz. I don't care about MIT or Caltech because Stanford was my first choice. I didn't take very many of the science classes that MIT and Caltech require of all transfer students because I found that I don't like physical science.</p>
