<p>Ecs, essays, gpa, recs, all excellent</p>
<p>so why are you posting here? (in a fake mad tone)</p>
<p>The worst crappy SAT/ACT scores one can fathom...</p>
<p>1780 SAT</p>
<p>26 ACT</p>
<p>but these are better:</p>
<p>750 Bio e
660 math 1
660 us history</p>
<p>Bad class rank. =(</p>
<p>lack of really cool EC's. I have a bunch of mediocre one, but no leadership yet (i'm a junior) and no research. Oh, and my SATs are horrible My practice ones are around 670V/730M/690W on a good day.</p>
<p><em>rolls eyes</em> see previous posts, was answering Shania, my fear is my crappy SAT scores.</p>
<p>crappy SAT scores (at least relative to most Harvard applicants)</p>
<p>I'm not a URM and my ECs could be better</p>
<p>Indian (upper-middle class)...pretty typical</p>
<p>700 and a 4 in chem (rest are fine)</p>
<p>ECs are good, but prolly could have done better on the essays. </p>
<p>and sighs...a lengthy, quite possibly annoying app (4 page resume with a 4 page long letter of supplemental rec from a professor...haha, I found out about the length after)</p>
<p>Eeyore: Oh bother.</p>
<p>I look sooo good in comparison too u ppl, and whats funny is that I live in athird world country and attend a non-english medium school!!! Thank you for this thread. I am so happy now!</p>
<p>Yeah and I didnt mean to be cruel or arrogant or something..this thread is ant-depresser!!My SAT I is my biggest weakness!</p>
<p>My SAT I (700WR, 690M, 670V), pathetic IIC score of 680. decent APs might save me (1 5 and 3 4s)...</p>
<p>IHS - that was really insensitive...</p>
<p>My antihooks:
Indian from NJ.
670 on CR (retaking, only a junior)
ECs too widespread (though I'm devoted to and interested in all of them)</p>
<p>Let's hope that's it haha</p>

<p>Hi IHS,</p>
<p>Keep in mind that this is indeed the anti-hook thread...im sure we'd all be humbled incredibly we truly knew what everyone else's hooks were. I know a few students who raise ten of thousands of dollars for scholarships for students like you, so they come and study at universities, more specifically, Yale. I doubt mediocre SATs will hinder upon their blatant compassion and service. </p>
<p>Everyone has a some weak point in their application, perhaps yours is an ineloquence in communication. Be careful not to think too highly of yourself before an interview. </p>
<p>I don't mean to come off as cruel or arrogant or something...its just some advice after all. Yours to take if you wish. </p>
<p>Smilinlocks</p>
<p>Theoneo- I didnt mean to be insensitive, but why is this thread for anyway...</p>
<p>"perhaps yours is an ineloquence in communication"</p>
<p>I don't think I am inelequent. Anyway I did NOT mean to bug u ppl, but I was really depressed with my SAT I scores, and when I visited this thread I was lightened up a little. OK I admit my I was a little harsh in my assertions, but still look at what u ppl have and what I have(I'm poor btw).</p>
<p>Btw, again, I had my interview already and it went great!</p>
<p>IHS, congrats, but stating how good u are on a thread that's not designed for that purpose is truly low and innapropriate. honestly, on this thread, we dont really care whether your interview went good. tell us how it went only if it went bad. if you specifically want to boast,please start a new thread.</p>
<p>and sorry, i have to agree with smilinlocks, you do seem rather 'inelequent'</p>
<p>It looks that you ppl dont understand what sorry means. Ia pologized 3 times. cmon ppl, have mercy. And thank you for your very critical assessment of my elequency.</p>
<p>I guess its better to change the subject now!</p>
<p>IHS - considering your posts they could have been much harsher, don't be too torked, they were pretty nice to you all things considered. </p>
<p>The point of this thread is to give voice to fears of weaknesses, not to compare strenghts, there are a thousand threads doing that.</p>
<p>anti-hooks:
inconsistent test scores (sats and sat ii's range from 640 to 790)
lack of leadership positions
my parents didn't go to harvard
essays could have been a little better if i didn't procrastinate so much</p>
<p>ahhh, this feels good to let it all out</p>
